Hi All,
Managed to capture on Saturday evening. Was quite committed with cool clear evening. Definitely the weather forecasting sucks at the moment but sure that the rest of the week will have plenty of opportunities.
Managed this capture along with another I will post later. The complexity is related to white-balance as the RAW images are so off. But I hope one day I will be able to set the manual set the camera correctly.
Colour is strong possibly a bit off.
