Hi everyone, this will sadly be my last post of 2005. On Tuesday I'm off on holiday to India! I won't be back until the new year, but you can rest assured that there'll be some interesting shots to look forward to.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
But please don't forget about this site in the interim! I'd advise you to use my Atom Feed so you know when I'm back and don't have to keep checking manually. Incase you're new to all this, by using an Atom feed reader (or 'news aggregator') in your browser you can find all the updates and headlines to things you're interested in. Rather than me trying to explain it, read the Wiki.
I went out this evening to shoot some nice Christmas photographs, the 'light trail' at Westonbirt Arboretum would be perfect I thought. Wrong. Lets just say when you've seen one tree with a big red light shining on it, you've seen them all.
So I came home totally frustrated having taken no decent photos. So off I went again to trusty old Portishead. Problem is, there's no moon at the minute. So it was tricky to get a decent exposure, but the area I went to didn't lend itself to night shooting anyway. There's loads of light pollution down by the pier (hence the strange colour on this shot). EDIT >> The colour is annoying me on this shot, I'm packing to go on holiday and I just had to get back on here to change it! It's obviously now B&W, you can see the colour version here still.

Excellent night shot!
Beautiful.
Hey Dave, how's it going? Haven't checked your stuff out for a while and then I see that you've got yourself a new toy - good stuff! Really enjoyed your more recent posts with the long exposures. On this shot I much prefer the colour version - really like the surreal look it has to it.
I prefer the color version as well. The splash of green shouts out at you from the picture. The bluish purple accents are nice too.
I stumbled in on this site from a link the photobloggers mail group. I've just been through every picture on your site. Great stuff; I especially like your pterol-head and nocturnal work. It's going to be interesting to see what you bring back from India where the photo opportunities are very different. I now have you in in RSS reader so I'm looking forward to whatever you come up with next.
Regards - Martin
