Thanks for your lovely comments, when I first got a DSLR it was to do night shots and long exposures, that was a few years ago now, and it was an old Canon EOS 1100D - 12mp camera, but it still shot good images. Even to this day, I am still surprised how an image looks at night on a long exposure. If you need any tips or advice on doing it, please feel free to send me a message, I'd be more than happy to help. Although the main thing you need for any night photography and long exposures is a sturdy tripod. Thanks again :-)
