fantastic as usual :D how do you know how long to expose them for or is it just pot luck and you have lots of under & over exposed pics??

Keep increasing the iso until your camera gives a time of under 30 seconds.Lets just say that it was iso 800 giving an exposure time of 25 seconds.Every time you half the iso you double the time so iso 400 would be 50 seconds,iso 200 would be 100 seconds etc,etc.Thats how i do it anyway.

You could do the same by keeping the iso low and adjusting f stops so every increase of a full f stop doubles your time.
