I used manual focus, because the AF could not find anything, guessed at F11 and focused using the moon to meter. I used a remote to fire and close the shutter for around 400sec (six minutes) and knew that the boat would expose well because there was a lot of artificial lighting behind it, I was looking for a sort of halo effect.

It's been a really clear night and I was hoping for some star trails with the long exposure, but if I had left it much longer it would have over exposed I think.
