Long exposure shots fascinate me, so I love having the opportunity to practice and to see what I can create. After a sunset shoot, which finished with long lens images of Castle Acre, Norfolk, from a layby, I decided to have a go at capturing the light trails of traffic speeding past. The bonus was the full moon, the challenge, getting it in focus!
UK based photographer living with the chronic illness Fibromyalgia that brought me mentally and physically to a halt in 2019. Here I will share my personal experience of living and coping with Fibro along with my creative efforts as a photographer, which provides a much needed distraction from the numerous symptoms.

I find getting that full moon in sharp focus to be a daunting task — love the light trails here.
Always is a problem in getting all the elements together. Of course the moon is moving as are the stars so getting shots on long exposures is a bit trickey. The bottom shot is far more dramatic because it has a sense of movement. I have done shots like this with second shutter flash and people often think its a speed camera from a distance.

Thanks Dan – moon is a challenge, so I thought I’d go for small aperture and ‘starburst’ effect with these.

Think I’d want to be further from the road before making drivers think there’s a speed camera!! 😉
