'magic'

I wish I'd have had a decent camera to take this pic with...

unfortunately the camera just didn;t really capture it

(Nemesis @ Alton Towers for those who don't know it well enough to recognise it in bits)

What were you trying to thieve from Alton Towers at that time of night then?

Stuff like that would look ace with a tripod and a couple minutes experimenting.

Me and my mate Penny did a shoot of a Hurricane and Spitfire outside Strike Command at Wycombe and the results are pretty weird and interesting. Amazing what long exposure light really picks up.

Was the Halloween Specials, so its open until way after dark, its well worth a trip, (and the rides look cool too!)

I'll dig out the pictures we took last year in the garden with a light ball (little ball shaped battery lights you put amongst your plants to light them up) with the right exposure you can get the effect of throwing a fireball bolt ala Doom!

Me swinging a torch on some string above the camera:

Me facing the camera with a torch and trying to write invisible letters backwards:

Did some photography at a charity camping rally and got a bunch of them to write out the local town for publicity...

not too bad, although this was about the third attempt, some peoples speeling isn't as gud as overs!

IMHO this thread is getting far too Arty for me

I'm more a naked women and classic car photography type of person
