Sorry for the gap in blogging recently, we've been preparing some bits for open calls and writing some articles. Anyway, back to earlier in the Autumn, and one of our regular trips to Blackpool for some of Amy's photographs...
The trip was for two projects; to get some pictures of trams for possible publication, and to get a few more abstracts for the "Light Trails" projects.
Happily, the illuminated trams were out in force on the night.
Blackpool Tower wasn't quite fully lit-up for the night... perhaps they're a bit short of brass, or couldn't find a shilling for the meter...
We didn't end up doing as many pictures as Amy had planned, as The Childs were a bit tired and we ended up bailing out at Tower. Hopefully we'll get another crack at it next year.
This illustrated one of the problems we were up against; the modern LED lights which are appearing aren't as easy to capture, and unless there is a lot of playing with the settings, can easily white-out the exposure.
Still, all said it was nice to be back at Blackpool again, and for Amy to keep her hand in with the "Light Trails" which has picked up a bit of interest again this year. Hopefully we'll get back there again next year, but there may be another experimental development with the project early next year...
