    My learnings: 
    Know your equipment. I haven't used my Olympus in a long time. I forgot about the difference of bulb mode and live time ... 🫣 For such a special event, I should have taken some exercise shots to be sure. Remote trigger was safely sleeping at home ... in Germany. BUT - regardless - I love this photo and the memories. Goose bump moment for sure.
    Note to self: more exercising with the different camera brands I am using in bulb mode. To understand better the strength and maybe weaknesses. The days are shorter now, more lights in the city - a good field to practice.
