River Conwy at night

Bit of a panic trip out this evening looking for something old to blip in the dark but couldn't find the old mile post I spotted a few days ago and wanted to try with the flash.

On the way back I stopped off on this bridge upriver from Conwy and took a few shots including this on on max exposure with my fingers crossed. As soon as I pressed the shutter a stream of cars went past with headlights on as I was watching the shutter timer count from 60 down!

Anyway it seemed to work OK - but I am defo getting a proper tripod in the Jan sales!!!
