So I wanted to try my hand at some low light photography and, as I was going into Paisley, I thought I'd take my camera with me. This is what I managed to get. What do you all think?

It's a beautiful building, inside and out. Well worth photographing, especially at night as you can see when it's all lit up.

Did you notice something really exciting about your picture? The stars... Thats the Plough... Ursa Major... the Big Dipper. Amazing that they should be so defined in Paisley with all the orange street lights. What an amazing capture. Cousin, from Dunlop Ayrshire - now Canada.  Jeez, you're right it is! Wow, I'd love to say that was intentional but sadly not. That is pretty cool though. Thanks for pointing that out. mws3 wrote in post #2381529 that is a nice shot i you were brave to have a camera out in Paisley at night Thanks. Don't worry, it wasn't too late. It was taken at about 5:30 pm so there were still lots of people around to witness any muggings or suchlike. Thanks for your concern though!
