As part of a photography course I'm doing I need to submit a night time city scene as part of my final assignment.
I was fortunate to be invited out to dinner in Canterbury last week with some work colleagues so I thought this would be a good opportunity to get the photos I needed for my course as well have have some lovely Italian cuisine.
It was freezing as I headed from the carpark to Osteria Posillipo Pizzeria. I had my camera and tripod but was limited for time - by the time I'd got to the restaurant I only had 10 minutes to spare. I realised I'd never make it to the Weavers and Westgate Tower on the High Street as planned. I rounded the corner by the wibbly wobbly house at the end of Palace Street and was met by a lovely scene - it was my lucky night!
I set up my tripod and camera and got stuck in - I love night time photography as it's a real opportunity to experiment and I love the effect of cars and people when shutter speed is slowed right down.
I had a few people ask me what I was taking photos for and even my colleagues walked on by without realising it was me. On mentioning to them in the restaurant that I'd been out taking photos they said they thought it was a professional photographer and were pretty impressed :-0)
I managed to get some interesting photos. Take a look at some below and watch out for the ghosts and Harry Potter night bus arriving. Dinner was good too, good company and great food.
