After visiting the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, we headed down to Blackpool for our annual visit for Amy to add to her stock of images for "Light Trails".
This time around, we were without The Childs, so we could focus rather more on the photography than we would normally. We decided to book accommodation near Bispham so we wouldn't have to worry about being tired for the drive home; we had a nice picnic on the seafront at Bispham as we waited for the sun to set.
We walked down from Bispham to just past the central pier and back; the trams were busy, it was a nice, unseasonably warm night, and we decided to get some excercise.
The LED lights everywhere seem to really suit Amy's new SLR, and give some interesting effects compared to the traditional bulbs on our earliest visits back in the late 2000's.
One of the things Amy was interested to try was more curving shots, panning around whilst standing on the spot.
As well as the more abstract shots of the Tower and general illuminations, Amy took the opportunity to get some shots of the lit-up trams. Probably too abstract for the mags, but a nice change from the more static subjects.
It was a very successful night; Amy's new SLR coped magnificently with the lights, and she was able to add a good mix of shots to the project. We'll probably be going back in a few weeks (as we write this), being as the lights will be up until January, and this time we'll have The Childs with us; hopefully we can add some more shots to the collection.
