Excellent! Where are you going?

They are clearly visible with the naked eye and are quite thin, they snake about.
The reason they are so visible in the photographs is because I used a slow shutter speed and a tripod.
This let's more light into the camera.
But, with the slow shutter the movement of the lights blurs and makes them appear wider.

If I used a fast shutter and high ISO the images would be very grainy.
The equipment I'm using isn't the best and I'm sure higher end equipment would get better results.

It was so cold I didn't really get the chance to play around.

Lovely shots there Phil.

I have only ever been to Scandinavia, on business, in the summer.
That is when you roll out of a nightclub, late at night, and it is light.
Thank you! I was there on business as well.
The pubs don't seem to wake up until midnight for some odd reason.
