Tall Ships (without the ships)
Don't have any shots of the ships ready yet, but I pinched the tripod from work and had a walk around the quay side last week when the ships were here.
They had this massive Big Wheel there for the duration of the event, and the bridge was lit up with a few extra lights, oh and the baltic art gallery (the pink building) was lit up as well. I used a 14mm f3.5 Sigma for these, I've managed to get a few highlight spots in them, but I like the effect. I guess its nothing you guys havent seen before - long exposures on moving objects, but I don't own a tripod so I thought I'd give it a go whilst I could lay my hands on one. 
Charlie,
The second one works for me as well. I like the way that there are the various cuves in this, offsetting one another. You have the arch, the road/footway, the wheel .... Colour is good and rich. Didja have fun getting these? I'll be willing to bet you had a ball. g.

I love the second one. It has all the dynamics of a great image, as Gary said.
The last one is good too. I especially like the way you are getting double flaring off the bright light on the left. Really interesting and a nice effect. Steve.

Thanks all.
Yes Gary, had a great time, never used long exposures before so it was interesting to see how much I could push it. If I'd have remembered to check the ISO before taking these I'd have found it set to 640 - d'oh! I thought the wheel had gone after the Tall Ships left, but I gather its here until Sept. so I may go down there again and have another go but with the camera set at 200ISO this time. The flairs on the light are a happy accident, nothing to do with my skill I'm affraid! I gather this happens when you have the camera stopped right down? these were taken at f22 between 10 secs and 25 sec exposures. CC
