Thanks

As it's a moving light show it's much more interesting on video.

Jan went well prepared to handle the videoingas can be seen from the last photo.IPhone, gimbal, mask, fold back mitts, scarf and Cossack hat. (It was cold!) 

Anyway we have cobbled together a video for a friend who is incapacitated and cannot go. No apologies we strung it together in an hour with no attempt to edit wildtrack sound and it obviously needs fine editing, adding some cutaway footage.and cutting down many of the clip lengths! 

In fairness Jan filled her iPhone memory halfway round. So couldn't finish it off. I grabbed a couple of bits for her on the Sony at the end.


The 12minutes of (stick with it) footage are here .

 

Sorry Graham.not up to your standards but a bit of Christmas (early) fun.

Just thinkwe saved you all £16. o.O

Turn the sound up for best effect including the unedited Field banter.

Just one other thought.

The fifth photo in the series is of the 'make a wish' area. 

Visitors were encouraged to write a wish on a tag and hang it around the fencing.

If you want to waste a few more minutes of your life you should count the number of tags in that image..and then add up the number of £16s Charlie boy raked in so far.  Its been running 3 weeks and still has 3 more to go. 8-)


Here's another angle

That is Spectacular,..does it look that Impresive in reality ?

That is the work of a genius, I wish that I could go there, and 16,-quid is not that bad, overhere a ticket to the pictures cost more than that .

Yes it does. In fact the photographs and video don't really catch the clarity of what the eye can see.

Back in 2011 we went to a poor imitation of this sort of lighting done by the forestry commission. Apart from it pouring with rain that literally dampened the atmosphere and made photograph pointless, the effects were very amateur. In fairness it was 10 years ago so technology has moved on. 

The long flat flashing lights stretching down the 'ride' towards the funfair are probably 1/4mile long!

Here's official site.

Finally managed to get out for our first photographic outing of the year.

A local country house opened its acres to the public and we seized the moment....despite it being an overcast day and not ideal for photography.

It was also an anniversary (of sorts) for us ....57years since we first started dating. (yes we remember the actual day and the hour!!!!) Sigh

What better way to celebrate together than a trundle through the outdoors with cameras?

It was also the first full outing with the new Fuji XS20. Very impressed how it handles colour and exposure. Many of the exposures needed little or no adjustment at all.
Ergonomics are a different matter. The shutter button presses too far down onto the the half press....it's too easy to take a photo by accident. Annoyingly the joystick for focus position adjustment is to close to the thumb. I repeatedly lost the focus point to one side of the frame or the other just holding the camera in the hand...so I missed subject focus a few times...and pressing the middle (unlike most other cameras) doesnt quickly recenter the focus point. You have to do 2 steps to recenter it.

Anyway for first outing it wasn't too bad...stiull need to learn its idiosyncrasies.  Here's some photos.....
