Bit of a nightmare with the software, I got a new Canon 80d but my photoshop doesn't work with it, The free stuff available doesn't give me much scope so I think I'll have to do a lightroom subscription to solve the problem then I'm back on track I'll hopefully be able to start catching up this...

I'll be sure to do that next time, I think the tripod is going to be useful this year

I shot it freehand with the record in motion, to be honest the tripod didn't occur to me but I will bare it in mind for my next project

It's been a few weeks but I finally had a chance to get out and try the method suggested I managed to get the following using Tv with +EV up 2 notches, definitely an improvement, I'll have to figure out post processing as I go along Tv seems to make more sense to me than Av but I'm sure it'll...
