Night Photography

Forgot this thread existed. Been doing some in Norwich the last few months before the light gets later.

Love that fourth one, @Mikeymutt🐶 The lighting and the contrast in subject between historic and modern is just gorgeous

I'll throw a couple more in now that I've had a chance to look.

The aurora from Formby Point in December.

I was fucking freezing taking this shot!

The Milky Way from Ynys Llanddwyn, off the cost of Anglesey.

So this is a tidal Island, and I knew that before I went, so I checked the tide times and the tide height prediction. It looked as if I was still going to be able to get back across at high tide, based on what I'd read. When I actually came to get off the island, I realised that I hadn't taken into account the strong South Westerly wind that was pushing a storm surge up the Irish sea along with the tide. I was stuck.

I could have waded across and potentially got soaked up to my knees, but I also had a 2-hour drive to get home ahead of me and just thought 'fuck that'!

So I just turned around, went back to the other end of the island and carried on taking photos! Because of the strong wind & high tide, I figured no one was going to bother me while I was taking photos, so I decided to get my kiff off and take a page three shot in the ruins of a church there! 🤪 Lucky for you, this is not that thread! 🤣

Thank you. The bridge is fairly new and looks great with the cathedral in the background. The bridge itself is gorgeous with a bend in it and a rusty look. Loving that milky way and auroa shot. I really need to do more night photography again as I love it, just not done much now for a few years.

The juxtaposition of modern and ancient can be jarring at times, but the way you've framed it almost looks like a pathway from the modern to the past.

Thank you, man!

I didn't do a lot of photography for quite a few years, life just got in the way and I didn't prioritise the relief that it can provide as a creative output. It's time to switch off to everything apart from what's in the viewfinder. I hope you manage to rekindle the passion.
