November 4th - Cheesegrater trails
We took the kids out tonight to try and find some fireworks. I think all the bonfires will actually be tomorrow because we didn't actually see that many going off tonight. Because I still needed to do a shot for today, I managed to persuade Nick to drive us into town so I could do my first ever bit of night photography. I thought the Cheesegrater car park would make a good first subject. I even managed to get some light trails into the shot too! I enjoyed my first trip out at night and once I had set up and taken a few shots, I didn't feel as self conscious about using the tripod and being out at night with my camera. I still wouldn't do it on my own though - need to find a friend to accompany me. I quite like both the colour and the black and white versions.
Be gentle with your comments as it was my first attempt!
