November Photo Competition - Long Exposure (PRIZE!)

[RobDickinson]

This months competition is Long Exposure. A repeat topic from all the way back in 2012.

November is an excellent month to get your camera, tripod and (if needed) filters out and start stretching those shutter speeds.

Try combining with autumn colour or bonfire night fireworks, camera motion or panning.

I'm not setting a lower limit on shutter speeds as a 'long exposure' for a surfing shot will be different to a long exposure for stars/fireworks etc just make good use of the technique.

Prize: This month James Mann has supplied a copy of his updated book 'How to photograph cars' to the winner! Good luck everyone!

Rules:

• The photos taken must be your own work and taken in the month of the competition.
• The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
• The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month.
• Entries and discussion on this single thread please.
• All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
• Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.

Wow sorry, late! Did think about this Friday then got distracted ( with beer... 30 degree weekend spent not at computer..)


So some epic shots this month and I really expected to be handing over the prize to Chris but then along came Malcom with something even more epic...


So 1st place and grabbing the book is... (though I doubt he needs a book to tell him how to shoot cars...)
