Stacked 20x6 sec shot of Walhalla Rail Bridge. A difficult capture with bright security lighting around the bridge. The concrete reflecting the light combined with an otherwise reasonably dark sky and background made exposure settings a bit experimental.

20 X 8 second exposure of Muckleford Bridge on the Goldfields Historic Rail line.
First with moonlight only, then lit with my Godox LED light tube from approx 30m down the line @ 2% power

Both are amazing but I think the 2nd shots looks more impactful and the colors are pleasing too.
Thankyou, I also prefer the illuminated bridge shot. I took the moonlit shots as an experiment as I was packing my LED'S away
 
Agreed; its funny that the second shot, with its artificial illumination, has a more natural feel to the shadows and blends well with the scene.
