Yet Another Photoblog

Some time back I uploaded my first dedicated night shot, tripod and all, taken on Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham (www.flickr.com/photos/pixog/6103857545/in/photostream). Here's my next favourite from that evening, finally processed to my liking. This was three long exposures taken in RAW, merged using Photomatix and touched up with Lightroom. One thing I've noticed is the amount of time it takes the 500D to write to disk long exposures in RAW, but at least I had the tripod and I could just walk around shuffling my feet as I waited.
I've decided to join the masses and create a "Photoblog", the only name left that was vaguely similar to this was "Pixog". I enjoy taking pictures, but only ever view my efforts as amateurish, so I've decided to share some of my favourites with the world and see what you think!
Currently I'm using a Canon EOS 500D and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10. In the past I've used a Samsung Digimax A6 (my first ever camera) and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. Software used for editing includes Photomatix Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, GIMP and Hugin.
