The Seat is nice but I think I'd have added some more light trails in PP to it.

How would I go about adding more light trails?

In photoshop, new layer, set the blending mode to soft light, vivid light or overlay, using a soft brush paint on the light trails and then adjust the opacity as desired.  To give you something like this quick edit.

Got out the other night to try some long exposures:

I like. I really want to go out on a night in london about 4am. Then also catch the golden hour, across the thames. I'm guessing this is what you did? Or close to it?

Yeah, I work nightshifts in central London, so it's a great time to do this stuff. Those ones on Oxford Circus/Regent Street were taken at around 2am last friday night/sat morning.
You get a few odd looks from clubbers with your camera and tripod and I got a few people shout "take my photo mate".
Worth the effort though.
