The Flames

It's all been a bit slow on the photography front recently due to the poor weather but it looks like things are starting to pick up at last as the cold weather starts in earnest.  The photos below were taken tonight and there is a remarkable difference between them both.  The first is a "normal" exposure and the second is a long exposure shot from the same spot but 6 minutes later.  The colour difference created by the longer exposure is quite amazing but i'm struggling to decide which one i prefer.  The stats say the second but it has greater exposure on the net so it's hard to tell.  What i have found out is that the older people prefer the first and people under 40 the second.
