Long exposure night photos are one of my favourite things to do. They’re tricky, you have to be perfectly still so normally a tripod is needed. And often you won’t know how it turns out until you do it a few times. The human eye (and brain) is so much better at processing what it sees and generating a great image compared to a feeble lens and sensor. So this photo was kind of ridiculous. A 3 minute exposure, hand held thought stabilised against a windowsill, and I had to lean so far out of the window to get it that my wife had to hang on to me to make sure I didn’t fall out.
