Distracted!

Last September, when a group of us went to Cornwall to indulge our photographic enjoyment, we bought a couple of powerful torches to practice "painting" with light.  Feeling a bit guilty at not having used them for a while - a couple of us went out last night to remedy this!  Very cold, very windy and very cloudy - but we were DETERMINED!

Two hours later, we'd managed to get two reasonable results!  Not perfect - but the best we could do, stumbling about in the dark, dodging gorse, rocks and pony ploppies!  We will try again - maybe with a clapper bridge, or a church yard, with mixed lighting!

Still a bit light.  ISO 100 @ f22.  About 10 seconds.
Torchlight not quite showing up properly.
An hour later.  Pitch dark!  ISO 200 f16.  Camera on 'B' while I stumbled about "painting"
everything! Light on the Engine House was about 3 minutes.
Overall exposure - something like 200 elephants!


In the meantime - we're thawing out and reviving ourselves!!

Will get back to processing more of the France photos from now on - PROMISE!!
