22 Oct 09: Sodium Lighting/shutter speeds (Blackpool Illuminations)

Couldn't have a trip to Blackpool without getting some pictures of the illuminations

and it was an opportunity to try out using the bulb setting on my camera.
At first the images were coming out very orange due to the sodium lighting:

 so I adjusted the aperture from f/16 to f/29 and the colour turned on

This was taken at f/32 using the bulb setting to give an exposure of 2 seconds as a tram went past

and this has a 5 second exposure

I like it!
