On the morning of Wednesday 23rd May 2012 the Olympic torch relay came to Nailsea in North Somerset.
The UK phase of the relay had started four days earlier at Land's End and would finish on Friday 27th July at the opening ceremony in the Olympic Stadium. In that time the flame covered approximately 8,000 miles and was carried by about 8,000 torch bearers on a route that criss-crossed the nation, and even took in Dublin, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, all of which lie outside the UK.
For me, London 2012 was a source of immense pride in what a country could achieve when it put its collective mind to staging the world's most important celebration of sport. I remember enjoying a powerful sense of well-being at this time and felt optimistic about the future. What a difference a decade can make.

The colours have lasted for several years now, so I think the effect isn't too transitory.

Didnt get a chance to put a description on this shot during the week. Apologies!
This shot was taken using Helen's (check out her stream!) instructions from the latest edition of Digital SLR Photography Magazine.
What I used:
- Background was a sheet of black cardboard
- Base was also a sheet of black cardboard, but with a sheet of glass over it
- Light trails were made using a cheap LED torch (with 7 bulbs) I bought at Maplin's
- Subject is a martini glass filled with water
I used my 12-24mm lens set to 17mm, at F22. The exposure was 15 seconds. I also set the WB to Tungsten to bring out the blue as the LED light was white.
"Light Week" continues--a celebration of actually having sunshine and its effects to play with after all those months of clouds, misty rain, and flat even light...

Apr 09, 2008 - San Francisco, CA, USA - Supporters of China and the Olympics faced off with protesters concerned with China's Tibet policy, clogging Embarcadero Street in downtown San Francisco as the Olympic Torch makes its only North American stop. The Olympic Torch took a secret route through the city to avoid protests.
