Light trails outside Selfridges at the Birmingham Bullring
On Wednesday, me and a couple of talented photographer friends (the excellent Justin Thompson and superb Mark Huddlestone) ventured into Birmingham to shoot some night-time cityscapes.

This is an old photograph from my first trip to the Lake District in September of 2009. This photograph of the Millennium Stone in Derwentwater was taken with a Canon 500D and 18-55mm kit lens. The smooth water was created by using a very dark filter which increased the length of time it took to take the photograph to around 20 seconds.
And no – I didn’t put the stone in there in Photoshop!
