Hi Justin, that's nice.

Your film pic reminded me of my favourite night scene which also just happens to be on film. This was taken either in 1980 or 1981 with my very first SLR, a Zenit EM, 50mm F2 lens and Kodak ISO 400 film. Exposure was most of the night. Illumination is from a single distant street light and skyglow (how I miss those days). The camera was rested on the window ledge while I went to sleep. It was one of my first star trail pics and I got a bonus short bright meteor trail.

Since then neighbours and shops have sprouted everywhere along with a dozen bright orange sodium street lights.
