I spent a good half hour, trying to get the lights to starburst and twinkle, capture the foreground and the colours of the remaining light in the back.
It was a great challenge, and I felt it worked ok. I would have stayed longer, only the wind decided to pick up and started blowing my tripod over. With the shutter open for 30 seconds or so, it pretty much rendered my picture taking exploits useless!
The other challenge was that one of the gas valves (I think they are valves) decided to flare, so I have a couple of pictures of an overexposed twinkle! I didn't put them up here, because at the end of the day, the composition is pretty boring, but I do like how you can see Withnell Bay in the background, and you have so many colours!
I would just like to point out that impatient me waited patiently for an hour for this photo! And my very kind husband waited patiently at home for me to come home before we had dinner. I am blessed indeed to have the freedom to take these photos after work!
