Awesome pics man, as always. Glad you are back. Have you crossed the NS RR trestle between Dix Hill and the State Pen? Now that is a challenge!

This night photography is quite interesting. Did you do it with digital or film camera? Reason why I am asking is that digital cameras do not have ‘B’ setting any more, so one can not keep the shutter open for indefinite amount of time, like it used to be on the olden film cameras.

There is a town of Raleigh in Essex UK, near where I took those pictures in my Trigger Happy Photo Blog.
