Can anyone suggest cheap ways to light up an area when doing long exposure shots? I need some wide spread light to bring a dark night scene to life. Also what to use to change the colour of the light?
Thanks!

It's not about what you have in your hand - it's how you waggle it that matters
If you are photographing a building, or scenery - then it doesn't move - so you can take your time, give it a decent length of exposure - and 'paint' the scene with your torch - it's what most people here do
oh - and as for changing the colour - any coloured 'gel' from an art shop over the torch - or anything similar - like Quality Street wrappers (seriously)
