wow! superb and obviously painstaking work and another long cold night under the stars!! brilliant result!! and the snow on the ground and those trees are just brilliant foils for the main feature!
Alex Stojan

FelicityB
These are so impressive (way too technical for me but then my camera’s too technical for me)!!
RavenSoul
WONDERFUL!
Stacy Rodriguez
BEAUTIFUL SHOT, LOVE THE 4 ON THE RIGHT.
Mindy McGregor
Fantastic work Stuart!!!!!!
Mel Brackstone
Ok, so the weather isn’t so mild anymore, huh? Looks good, Stu….they almost look like they’d cause damage as flying objects!
Geoff Coleman...
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.
Kelly J

Lindsay Knowles

Kasey Cline
AMazing Stuart. I really love this stuff you are doing. So creative and is awesome! Love it!
Sue Kane
WOW…great work Stu!
Andrew Bosman
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!
Kimberley Davitt
wow fab image
Jared Revell
great work Stuart !
I tried this for the first time the other night…looking forward to seeing the results.
Paul Tupman
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!
Anthony Hedger
Nice one Stuart
Squealia
You must have got pneumonia!!! Great shots
Jenny Haskey
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
Definitely mad Stuart, love Jennys thinking on how to keep warm trying your Jig :)
Amazing dedication to the RB cause.
Danielle Knight
(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.

Missed this one mate.
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
