Long Exposure Needs Practice

Well, it turns out that I need a lot more practice at long exposure photography :-

This is Southsea beach at around 5:30 in the morning. A 15 minute exposure …

1. It may look dark but there’s still a lot of lights around – use a long lens.
2. Go further along to find darker places.
3. 15 minutes is just about the minimum exposure. No matter how frustrating (and cold) waiting for it is.
