Many thanks guys. It's lovely to capture that stillness, especially when my life gets hectic. It's amazing just how different you can make the feel of a scene seem with moving lights or people in it. These were taken between 5.30 and 8.00am on 30th November, so there was little chance of being disturbed.
@Darren. I was trying a few things including manual exposure (aaaah, the good old days) and with the sunrise, I (fairly obviously) was using fill-in flash to illuminate the gate. Very much toes-in-the-water stuff, but very enjoyable and looking forward to doing much, much more.
