    Ok, so the weather isn’t so mild anymore, huh? Looks good, Stu….they almost look like they’d cause damage as flying objects!

    Brrr – that looks very cold my friend – hats off to you going for startrails with these temps – eeek! But the results are beautiful – crystal clear startrails against the starkness of those trees with just the cold snow to “soften” it. Magic.

    I love it when someone is dedicated to what they do and clearly to be out in the freezing cold doing this you must be mad or dedicated…. the question is which one are you Mr C?
    A well compiled image Mr C, again hats off for your efforts!

    great work Stuart !
    I tried this for the first time the other night…looking forward to seeing the results.

    Wow! You really have gotten the hang of these since I was last on here… taken like a pro!
    So let me get this straight… that’s 45 individula shots all with 30 second exposures? And then all individually tweaked in PP? Wow, what a process… but well worth it! Well, just as long as you agree… there can only be so many cold nights a pair of feet can take!

    Stunning picture Stupot – makes us Brits suffering this cold weather seem worthwhile when it produces glorious work like this.

    Thanks as ever for taking so much time and effort to producce such wonderful delights for our eyes! However – please don’t spend too much time out there a) you may freeze into a snowman, b) performing the RB jig in this weather to prevent hypothermia may result in broken bones after slipping on ice, c) it’s your turn on scrabble…

  • Michael Oubridge

    Michael Oubridge

    Definitely mad Stuart, love Jennys thinking on how to keep warm trying your Jig :)
    Amazing dedication to the RB cause.

    (ironically – Starry Eyed Surprise came on random shuffle) lol

    This sure is fantastic Stuart, like most here what amazes me the most is how you put it together, shots I take in RAW are about 10mb each, cant imagine what 45 of those would do to my computer ..lol Anyway, well worth all you time and effort, sensational work.

    Excellent work. You are getting good at these.
    The next time I am in Kent, dont hesitate in not letting me know that you are going out on a midnight ramble, or early morning swim. LOL
