Callanish round 2

Here's the best of the rest of my shots from last night
The sun going down on a beautiful evening.
The almost full (it was full moon's eve) rising.

A different view of the Callanish Stones.

It's pretty cool what you can do with a couple of torches. I took a load of shots at the Callanish stones tonight. None are edited, just as shot with long exposures, a mini Maglight and a 1,000,000 candle power torch. It's my first real go at painting with light and I'm pretty pleased with the results.
This is probably one of my favourites. Taken just before I packed up.

My first attempt with the Maglite and floodlight. The moon was so bright you can see the shadows it casts in all the pictures.

I've taken plenty more which I'll probably load up soon.
