Having posted my favourite photo of 2010 earlier today it occurred to me it might be interesting to revisit the same spot on the South Downs for today’s photo. By the time I got there it was completely dark so I set up my camera on a tripod and took some long exposures with Chichester’s lights twinkling in the distance. It occurred to me after the first frame that the foreground was very dark so I used my torch to add a little illumination. After six shots I’d had enough of the cold (minus 4°C and falling) and fumbled my way back to the car in the moonlight.

A great idea and a very beautiful idea. Its snowing again here....and planned for whole weekend - so I think I know what I will be posting next week!! cariad · 2010-12-17: 13:47
