Default My first experiment with bulb setting

I tried this first experiment with bulb setting with my canon 450 D after looking at the various pics from this forum. All the photographs have been taken without tripod !
I would like to have your opinion/comments on these pics.

For longer exposures like these a tripod is a must, otherwise the slight blurring will always be a problem. Alternatively, placing the camera on a solid surface and using self-timer/remote control will help too.

Ok, no tripod and hand held are two different things. If these were handheld and bulb, then you have the steadiest hands in the world, and they are outstanding. If you rested the camera on something solid, then they are very good captures with good composition. TFS

Hi Michael,
yes both the shots were taken with handheld camera with bulb setting and it was not even rested on any surface. i took almost 4/5 shots and finally got this composition !
