Honestly, the things I endure for this game. I wanted to take a long exposure with lowest iso and smallest aperture for maximum detail and quality. Anyway during taking said exposure a, let's call him 'A Gentleman of the Night' strolled along to make friends with me. Bear in mind at this point that my fat camera is siting on the tripod, my bike is over there and I need to keep my finger on the shutter release to keep it open. Anyway I wasn't really upset by this, even when he put his hand on my thigh. I was dedicated to getting the shot. I just told him no thanks and continued to wait. After a minute or two I felt I had to make some conversation, so I explained the game and what I was doing. In the end something went wrong with the camera; I reckoned at the chosen settings I'd need a good ten minutes but it closed early. At that point I decided it wasn't worth staying for a second attempt. Shown above is the 30 second exposure I took just a little earlier.
An interesting afternoon/evening riding all in all.
