November Photo Competition - Long Exposure (PRIZE!)
Discussion
This months competition is Long Exposure. A repeat topic from all the way back in 2012.
November is an excellent month to get your camera, tripod and (if needed) filters out and start stretching those shutter speeds.
Try combining with autumn colour or bonfire night fireworks, camera motion or panning.
I'm not setting a lower limit on shutter speeds as a 'long exposure' for a surfing shot will be different to a long exposure for stars/fireworks etc just make good use of the technique.
Prize: This month James Mann has supplied a copy of his updated book 'How to photograph cars' to the winner! Good luck everyone!

- All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
- Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.

Ok, to add a few more photos since there aren't any fireworks ones yet, here are 3 from Saturday night. Unfortunately I didn't think they'd let me in with a tripod so these are hand held, with the funfair one leaning against a food stall! Currently undecided whether 1 or 3 is best, although neither up to the previous ones in this thread IMHO.
ETA - Please consider only no.1 and disregard 2 and 3. Thanks.
1. Funfair at the fireworks evening:

Because this is a site that attracts those interested in motoring I thought we needed another long exposure photo with cars.
I took this photo this morning on the Julier Pass, in a spot about 15 minutes from my house. It's was a 2 minute exposure taken about 35 minutes before sunrise. We get this wonderful glow Alpenglow at this time of year which was just starting on the mountains opposite. Later shots showed this better, but at the expense of the vibrant headlights. I love the way that the sky in the opposite direction to the sunrise goes a lovely purple.
(This one rather than the previous one should be counted as my entry)
