Night Photography

I recently paid a visit to Fort Gilkicker in Gosport, UK. This place is absolutely amazing and left completely un-touched in most places. Access was relatively easy and wasn’t at all destructive which is nice, it was literally a case of walking through the gap in the fence.

Anyway, I am quite happy with the pictures I took that night but it was very cold so I wasn’t feeling overly creative. This was mainly due to the fact I was more worried about the pain in my icy hands.

My favorite of the night, a nice and simple long exposure of the clouds over Fort Gilkicker.

This is my second favorite from the night, this image really gives you an idea of how old and un-touched Fort Gilkicker is.

You can see the rest of the images taken at Fort Gilkicker here.

After our recent visit to the Pounds Scrapyard, we have been revisiting the area a few times as there are so many amazing things to take pictures of there. This time we decided to go to an underpass type-thing under the M275. It appears to be a bit of a hotspot for dirt bike riders and drunken yobs. This place is huge, this have us the perfect opportunity to have a go at a newly discovered technique. LED throwing.

Here are some of them:

As you can see the second one was a lot better. This is because my remote shutter release has a loose connection and decided it was going to turn the camera off mid shot!

Portchester Castle is something I’ve always wanted to take pictures of at night. The building it’s self and just the general area around it. This particular evening was very clear, the clearest I have seen it in a long time. The moon was so bright too.

Here are some of the pictures I took:

My favorite of the night.

This was a very risky bit of “Urbex(About)” at an undisclosed location in Hampshire, UK. It took us about 2 minutes to work out how to get in to this place. And it is suposed to be protected under the official secrets act! This was a very quick explore as we would of probably been arrested and chucked in a cell if we were rumbled.

Anyway, on with the pictures!

Looks pretty secure doesn’t it? Funnily enough, this was taken from the inside!

Where we were.

Note the bullet holes in the sign

Lets hope this post doesn’t get me arrested or deported. You can find the full set here.

This tunnel is a bit of a goldmine for night photography. This may only be a tunnel but there is so much to look at and take pictures of. It changes every time I go there. It appears to be a hangout for the local yobs.

This is yet another quick update so I will crack on with showing you the images:

My favorite of this set

There were plenty of these around there.

Really bad light writing
