One of 150 and my second on the road. I'm not a big fan of the SLR but everytime I see it I have to admit that it stands out very much.
Finally some clear skies tonight - I reckon the winter nights are better for astral stuff - but crikey it was cold. Must confess on this one - two basically totally seperate shots. Couldnt expose the cathedral properly and the sky so effectively managed it in GIMP with layers. Bit of a cheat - but I have to say pleased with the overall image.
Just about worth spending 20 minutes thawing my feet out afterwards.
