Illuminate Us

Ifield, West Sussex

For the "Play With Light, Illuminate Us!" Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge
more entries can be see in the forum here


It’s the wee small hours of the morning after the bar has closed, and I’m a little tipsy. Totally uninspired and stuck in my hotel room, I took this challenge quite literally.
…..And I did exactly what it says on the tin…..

I stuck some tracing paper on the end of a couple of maglites to change the colour and added a little Photoshop to help with the effect…

1/100s at f8, ISO 400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
