Figment, that explanation alone was probably a boost to a lot of people; encouraging them to just keep shooting; knowing that every photo won't be perfect, but you might get quite a few.
Raxip, great photo of the TTA. What tool did you use to do the blurring? Nice effect.
Azerin, yup, you've convinced me. I need a new lens. Mine will only go to 4.5 or 5.6. Not near enough light to get it as well lit as yours. In fact, here is my comparison:
I purposely sat off center, because my goal for the night was a person in the stern of the boat. And there is less movement noticed by the camera coming to or away from you than there is going side to side. So I didn't get a great angle for Snow White, but didn't get as much blur for the character I was going for.
