I went into town this evening to get some more shots of the Christmas lights. I walked back up Steep Hill and took a few shots around the Jews House, the building on the left. It was built in the 12th century and is the oldest domestic building in the UK, possibly Europe. With the Cathedral just poking above the trees on the hill I thought sepia worked well with this. I had a bit of luck with the positioning of the girls as they walked past the light.

Shot these guys this evening. They were leading a torchlight parade in aid of a local hospice. There were about 800 marchers so it was pretty spectacular.

Imagine my surprise when I went for a short photo walk at dusk this afternoon and saw that the Christmas lights were on!

There are some more photos from the walk here;   http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Photography/CHRISTMAS-LIGHTS/10418872_wA9mz#722093968_yCpWB

Somehow I don't think these will be the last either!

This is a shot from a short photo walk I did at dusk today. I decided to leave it as natural colour because of the blue tones running through it. We'd had a big storm this afternoon, and after it blew through the air was cold and very clear. I couldn't believe that the Christmas lights were already up in November, but they do make for a pretty shot!

Thanks to Mary Ann and everyone for the kind words on yesterday's black and white night shot. I'm glad your night shots are working out Mary Ann, it is a lot of fun doing these isn't it? I really hope to comment more myself this week. Now I've got the twins' birthday and various other projects out of the way things should calm down a little bit, until I have to start Christmas shopping anyway!

I've always loved night photography, but for years (decades actually!) I hated street photography. But in the last couple of years I've learned to love night street photography. As a photographer you seem less conspicuous, and if anyone questions why you were taking a photo of them, you can genuinely tell them that they will be hard to recognise. I love playing with shutter speeds, but even on "auto" you get some wonderful effects at night. Definitely another "something" that every photographer should try a lot more of :)

I'm afraid that this is another shot from yesterday, the view from the window of the pub. I've had a really long day today and didn't get chance to take any photos, but I relaxed this evening with a beer and a play in photoshop.

This is my "watercolour" treatment, which some always mistake for a form of HDR, but it is simply a manipulation of shadows, highlights and contrast. The oddest thing about this shot is the absence of people in the street, which is very unusual, but it happened so here it is.

When a potential customer asks if you can meet them in the pub it would be silly to refuse wouldn't it?

I love this place. It won awards when it was converted into a pub from an old Cobblers many years ago. There is a tasteful mix of very old, pseudo old and strikingly modern. Oh, and the beer is good too :)

I'm beginning to think someone has put a curse on me. Last week I couldn't access my emails for 4 days. Today Facebook isn't recognising my password. Hardly the end of the world, but damn frustrating nonetheless.

I went into town this evening to get some more shots of the Christmas lights. I walked back up Steep Hill and took a few shots around the Jews House, the building on the left. It was built in the 12th century and is the oldest domestic building in the UK, possibly Europe. With the Cathedral just poking above the trees on the hill I thought sepia worked well with this. I had a bit of luck with the positioning of the girls as they walked past the light.
