This is a bit boring but illustrates the amazing power of the D3 to capture the unseen. The boats were barely visible to the human eye in the darkness. The rocks in the foreground were lit by Christopher who rapidly painted them with the light of his small LED torch.

Again, Nikon D3, Nikkor 18-35mm f3.5-4.5: 35mm, 5sec @ f4.5, ISO3200. Processed in Lightroom, border and signature added in Ps.

The seafront and promenade, Eric's statue behind me and the next feature, Venus and Cupid at the far end of the prom.

18mm, 0.5sec @ f3.5, ISO3200

Finally a couple of pic's of Venus and Cupid...

I have never seen them close up before, not really my sort of thing but I was in an adventurous mood.

35mm, 1.6sec @ f4.5, ISO3200 Lit by Sodium discharge orange street lamps, colour corrected in Lightroom, white balance on one of the white mosaic tiles.

26mm, 3.0sec @ f20, ISO3200 Lit by Sodium discharge orange street lamps, and small LED torch, colour corrected in Lightroom.

So that was the product of a lovely night at Morecambe. Very enjoyable. I had actually hoped for some star trails to take surrounding Eric's statue but it was a cloudy sky so no stars to be seen.

May have another go...
