And again
All raw shots, no fixing. lots of others, but more distant. All on 30 sec exposure, f8.

I have fucking wood, those are amazing.
If I had to be a giant photo nerd, I'd say to include a bit more foreground, to put things into perspective.
In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.
30 sec exposure, f8 you say? Hmmmmm. I might have to give that a go. I was on 1/250 f2.8. I would assume I am getting purple hues from not fixing my white balance, but thought that if I went any longer exposure, the flashes would really overexpose. Damn you Ralph.I thought mine were pretty good till I saw yours.
Lets hope we get a few more this week. I could do with the practice.

Ok, tried it a little differently last night. Wider angle, to get some foreground in. Rain unfortunately arrived early, but I got this before it did
windy, so the long exposure means the trees are blurred 2 1sec, f8. photo was cropped a little. One day, I'll get one that spectacular, up close
