Night Photography class

I have recently started attending a Digital Photography class and we had such fun last night on our 'Night Photography' shoot that I just had to share my results.  It's so great to have the help of someone who has been in the business for 35 years and the fun stuff you can do with simple things and not always having to rely on the likes of 'Photoshop' or other graphics packages to get some fun and amazing results.

First we just took a 'bog standard' picture of the beautifully lit church at Wistow, here's my best one, we did take many just to make sure we were getting the hang of it.


Then we started doing some more 'fun stuff' which was really easy and SO effective, I don't think I've heard a few adults sounding like big kids at what we were achieving with our camera's.

Then when we finished this fun at the church we then went back to where our class has been held and had more fun in the grounds of the school.  Again, many oohs and ahhhs from a group of adults and a lot of 'hooo' going on from an unamused owl in the grounds.

Who would believe this was just 1 person?

Some 'classic' sparkler work along with a bit of 'floating head' under a bare tree.  Easy, effective and lucky we had a willing helper ;)

Now I have learned these new skills I plan to have many hours of fun experimenting and creating more fun and intriguing photo's.
