Trees at Night

Each year, in late Autumn, Westonbirt Arboretum near Tetbury in Gloucestershire, lights up part of their Arboretum with a large number of Par Cans and various other light fittings. We went along to check it out. Thousands of like minded souls were there, but apart from a 40 minute queue to get in, that didn't really detract from what was clearly an interesting experience of lighting interpretation. Some of it I liked a lot, some I would have done very differently, but then, that's lighting! Here are some digipics that I took on a Fuji 4700 camera. Most were 1/4 sec at f2.8 (on a tripod).

In 2003, Dyffryn Gardens near Cardiff in South Wales has also gone in for the 'lit up' look.

trees-15.jpg (18057 bytes) This one was interesting in that I used a long exposure, 3 secs, which shows up the real moon. My previous digital camera didn't have this facility. trees-16.jpg (32445 bytes) A bit 'in your face' this one. More than two colours (and or white) is a No No for me.
