Swans rush to the bank of the Lough looking for bread from the crazy guy hanging over the water with a large black object...

This shows off one of my favourite night-time techniques. Long exposure
with a flash. The long exposure captures the background while the flash
illuminates the foreground objects, along with some nice movement blur.
It works really well at parties when people are dancing, especially if
you're lucky to capture a laughing face while the body is in motion.
