Great idea, great fun and huge satisfaction when it comes together so well. We can see that in your smiley face! I can’t help thinking you should have a high vis clothing when standing on a tiny island in the middle of a busy road.

Last on Tower Bridge back in 1982 April.. the bridge was covered with scaffolding as they were cleaning it back in the day. Cool Shots !! Cheers from Texas.

Good stuff. I've been shooting for ten years and never bothered with light trails because it never really grabbed me but I think I'll do some just for the experience

Never cease to amaze me how fantastic you are Mark. I don’t know whether you actually will get this message but my name is Andy. I have been watching you for what seems a lifetime I’m 62 years old come from a very large family seven boys free girls schooling, was not important to my mother so reading and writing is not good with me, but modern technology has given me the opportunity to get involved with predictive text. It’s not always right so I have to talk slowly and edit it occasionally quite often. I’ve been using my camera for quite a long time now, but feel like I could do a lot better with your professional help, I have put on a filter graphic exhibition and sold some photos quite a few actually of wildlife and seascapes long exposure seascapes so although I am not a literature photography I have learned quite a bit but I would like to get a qualification. Is this something your school of photography could help me with love all genres of photography. I would specially love to come to London and do what you’re doing. It’s fantastic I absolutely love your photo in London last Christmas time with the angel between the two buses. Would love to hear from you whether you can help me or whether trying to teach me for editing with my limited experience with reading and writing would be too much of a nightmare. Totally understand thank you. Look forward to hearing from you hopefully all the best Andy ❤🎉

Great video! Please change the title to "City night photography at its best!" It's means "it is."
