Cheers, beginnings are always difficult. If tomorrow is good I will be out again with a higher shutter speed and ISO. I shot this at about 125 with an ISO of 100. I thought, erroneously that a long exposure and low ISO was best, as in terrestrial photography. That was tonights effort, a little horrid so no post
