Pretty cool work. mind sharing how you go about combining multiple exposures?
Matt Duncan replied
Hi drec, and thanks.
Combining of the images was completed using Photoshop, and using a ‘lighten’ blending mode for each image/layer. Also a little arranging of the order of the layers to suit.

Striking image (pardon the pun)! Is the lighting a combination of several shots? :-)
Matt Duncan replied
Hi Jennifer, and thanks.
It’s a total of seven 30 second exposures, during a six minute period.
