Fog, canal, Christmas
There is a canal, by a pub and some flats not far from here. I was drawn there tonight by the idea of the light, the fog, the season...well, what do you think?
I should point out that for several of the shots it was actually basically pitch black, and I was having to focus by shining a spotlight on to the buildings, then using a 40second shutter speed at iso400 to get the pics.
It was also -2, so any blurring in the pics isn't camera shake but the vibration from my bottom jaw...the things we put ourselves though...
