The Abyss
August 28, 2011Two weeks ago my wife, kids and a couple of friends rented a lovely converted barn in Kent. This made a nice base from which to visit the local area where I finally got to visit Dungeness and, maybe more importantly provided me with no light pollution at night, which allowed me to get involved in some interesting photography. 
I get pretty bored taking photographs of scenery etc… what’s always been my favourite genre for photography is experimentation, playing with speed, playing with lights, creating an interesting setup for a photograph and it’s great to finally get back into doing these things.
Before I went away I bought a few fairy lights and the photo below was done using them. I got a lazy susan, arranged the lights roughly on the thing, focused, spun and clicked a long exposure (of around 5 seconds).
Have a great week…
Cool photo! Hope you had a great time at Dungeness…look forward to seeing the pics!
Hi Helen. I found the boat that you took a photo of and took one myself.
I’ll post it next week most likely. Never found the abandoned speakers though. I want to go back there sometime in the future. 
Cool pic. I’m subscribing.
Thanks for visiting and commenting and most importantly, thanks for subscribing

Very creative work!
Thank you, Kala
That’s one of the best examples of that kind of photo I’ve seen on the web.
Thanks very much
Very cool! Electric shot, Nigel!
Thank you
Cool idea – never thought of doing anything like this!
Interesting shot Nigel. Good to see you going back to your creative experimentation again. I missed seeing them.
Very cool image, Nigel, and, more importantly…a very creative idea and well-executed! I’m impressed!
what fun! great shot Nigel.
Cool shot Nigel. This reminds me of the lighting experiment I did back in 2008 – here is the link.
Wow! Brilliant
