When they are viewed full size there is some blurring on the top one, and I'm blurred on the bottom one although the rest of the photo is in focus. I couldn't stand still for 30secs!! Had fun taking them over 2 night paddles and was glad of the darkness as i was using a 12 sec timer to run around and get into the photo - looked a bit daft running around for the 40 odd shots it took to get these 2! Haven't got the hang of selecting the right exposure/aperture and ISO yet - lots of experimenting going on. It was almost pitch black where I was stood so i was amazed how much light the camera can pick up with a long exposure.
