Blackpool

In whats becoming something of a tradition, we headed off to Blackpool to photograph the illuminations.  Amy likes to use it as an opportunity to add to her abstract "Light Trails" project, and in my case I was there to get some shots of the trams for a sort of mini-commission...

Rather nice sunset over Cleveleys, especially after the horrible weather during the week.

Down on the beach, a few experiments with long-exposure pictures.  Something to play with a bit more in the future perhaps...

Blackpool Promenade, with the Tower in the distance.

This is the sort of image Amy goes to Blackpool for- this is the Ferris Wheel on the central pier.

One of the tram shots I took.  I'd managed to revive the Cannon 350 after the tribulations of the Teddy Bears Picnic shoot on Monday, but it was still struggling to cope.  Still, with Amy doing the more important shoot, it was better for her to have the D90, and it did mean I got some rather more improvised but somewhat creative shots with my older camera.

So a nice end there to a rather busy week, photography-wise.  Pretty similar week coming up as Amy does a shoot at the City Hall, and better to be busy than sat around doing nowt.
