What about something specific about every car in the thread. Such as the driver's window must be half open?

Rob282828 said: Well in that case why don't we give guidance to the non-camera people? It's simple really, set the aperture to a higher number and that's it; and if your camera's not got an aperture priority mode then i would advise you to get a better camera or just use your phone instead. Hopefully that's good enough, so why can't we do it then?  I'd imagine a lot will be done with a Point & Shoot or a phone, and I don't think many will buy a new camera just to learn to fiddle around and try to work it. Have you ever tried to take a picture of some writing on paper from any distance? It's not just a case of aperture and working lighting, sometimes you just can't see it. We've been absolutely fine without so far, and it's just a bit of fun, so if it 'ain't broke, don't fix.

City lights? Yes ,in background and with Birds custard too and a hand written date to prove it's not an old pic from your archives. I have failed miserably by going out too late [too dark] forgot to buy the custard too. What a fool.Maybe try again tomorrow if no one else moves this on. I did take 2 pics but they are rubbish

I live in Dorset, it is a long way to anything resembling city lights.
Would small provincial town lights be good enough?

It's a tricky one, though - as there isn't much darkness about at the moment.

Not fail, just trying to keep it near the top. I probably shouldn't have specified night, with hindsight. Never mind, hopefully someone will consider this  If it isn't by tomorrow night I will do it!

Ian Geary said: If I am not mistaken, that is Swithland reservoir, just past the Great Central railway bridge.
That road is not a bridge - it's more a causeway, or isthmus between the larger reservoir to the North, and the smaller body of water to the South.
But it has water each side I suppose, so would be bridge like to the casual observer. Small world...that's about 10 minutes from where I live...

So is anyone going out? It's nearly dark.
My excuses so far are, it's 15 miles away and due to having a new kitchen fitted at the moment, I can't find the custard powder.
