The weather here (Wales) is awful at the moment and I really can't be bothered to go out in it so not taken any pics for a couple of days. Going to have a real push to get some done next week so watch this space.
Been having a bit of a play with some different techniques recently so I've got some examples of long and slow shutter speeds this week. The fast shutter speed shots of coffee/milk were taken with my trusty D40 (I've got my eye on what's coming as a replacement for the D300s at the moment) and SB900. The slow speed shots are with the little infra-red remote you can get for the D40. Just stick the camera in bulb mode then it's one click to open the shutter and one to close.
Anyway, here are the photographs:
Ok, kicking off with a fast shutter speed capture of milk falling into coffee. This was done with my speedlight in it's little stand on top of a book to the left of the shot through a beauty dish, the camera in my right hand and dripping milk in with my left hand. Taken at: ISO 200, 55mm, f/36, 1/500 sec.

This was one of my first experiments with light painting using my camera remote and a small torch we had in the house and taken in my back garden. It's so hard to draw without being able to see what you've done! Hopefully with a bit more practice I'll be able to create a more compelling image. ISO 200, 18mm, f/8, 24 sec.

Finally a long exposure of the pole star. I think this would be a more interesting image with some foreground or something to give it scale and ground it. It was soooo cold outside though so I only managed a few shots before I had to get back in my car and warm up a bit. I was encouraged by these early shots so I think I'll try and do some more stuff like this in the future. ISO 200, 18mm, f/4, 790 secs (just over 13 mins).
