They're Christmas lights!... yeah, I know I should shot some darks but I forgot - thought I'd be OK with noise reduction in PS. I had a little play with noise reduction in PS and settled on median. It got rid of the blue noise, but the red spots are spread over more then one pixel so to kill them was going to kill too much detail. A dark would've been the go. I haven't tried noiseworks etc yet.

Lots of long exposures in rapid fire and throw out the duds. That's my secret.

Yeah it looked like it was heading your direction on the radar. There's good and bad in that... no opportunity for lightning photos, but less risk of damage too.

All these were 15s exposure, 400ASA. The irst 2 were at f/11 and the last 2 at f/8.
