Looking at these the morning after, lots of noise, of course, but I quite like their drawn quality.

Especially the second that has a charcoal drawing look to it. Could you use a LED torch to give some dramatic lighting? At F3.2 - 4 at 100 ISO in complete darkness a small LED torch snooted should let you have a 30 second exposure as long as you wave the torch about a bit.

"Snooted"?

I'll give it a try, Paul.

It's a very technical term Rob, I don't think you'll be able to understand it......

Basically you get a long tube and attach it to the front of the torch. Mine is a piece of 22mm copper pipe sticky taped to the front of a led torch that just happened to be around 22mm is diameter. I told you it was very complicated..........

Nice experiment Rob and the second really does have a very 'drawn' look to it doesn't it. Certainly worth experimenting more I think.

Thanks, Pete. Thought it was about time I figured out what the B setting was good for!
