These are beautiful, and for my eye, you left just the right amount of detail in the houses to balance the images. The conditions look very challenging for any camera – fabulous job! The mood being conveyed is very clear.

Thank you Lynn – I was pleased with how they turned out. The camera was pushed to its limits. I did try to push it to the slowest shutter speed by changing the aperture – it should have fired at about 10 seconds, but only managed about 7, and the last shot (not shown here) was too underexposed to be useful. The camera is very capable, which is probably why they are hard to find, and expensive unless you get really lucky.
