Go on then.....I have about 350 photos that I don't have time to upload, may as well add to that ::)
See you all there :thumbup:

Note to regulars: I will soon get back into the swing of organising some Thursday night trips...just been a little busy/tired/stressed lately!
Do not adjust your sets, normal service will be resumed etc 😉

Do you have a device what does ignite the flashbulbs, Simon? If so I can provide an old school bulb flash what does work, like. :lol:

Dont worry about it Sinker, I think you can always rely on one of us to pop up and suggest something! :thumbsup:

Why am I reading this and thinking of this.............

Pretty much yes :lol:

Some of the best shots I'm seeing lately are flash.

Check out Edd's shot on the CRTT taken with a single big bulb. Stunning!

Same place, different technique - Colonel Mustard this time. Again a stunner of a shot, lit with a single super-bright LED torch, but quite different in feel.

I've used light painting for years and found it tends to flatten the view particularly when it's just from the front.

Same chamber, opposite view. My shot - light-painted from the front. IMO lacks the 'feel' of the others, too uniformly lit, not as sharp and the exposure time mean the person on the zipwire moved 😠

Problem with flash bulbs is they are a finite resource, they will run out very soon and then all that's left are the brilliant but expensive meggaflash bulbs from Ireland. Thats why I'm forcing myself to use electronic flashes instead, not the same power but I'm learning to use them to their fullest.
