Commercial photography: Gloucester Quays

Another shoot for MK Illuminations but a change of plan and instead of Bicester, I followed in Dr Foster’s footsteps and went down to Gloucester in a shower of rain! However, unlike him, I missed the puddles and concentrated on some twilight photography of the Christmas lights. On arrival I reported to reception to let them know I was on site and to ask about where the lights were located, in particular the outside ones. I was told there were only the ones at the front so I concentrated on those only to find that, by accidentally taking a wrong turn out of the arcade, I stumbled upon some awesome tree lights at the back of the building! So much for the staff on site being clued up! I still managed to shoot them but once the sky has gone dark, it becomes very difficult to expose for the lights and the darkness. Just a few as I am shooting a wedding tomorrow and then I have to start work on another big commercial commission (more on that later) as well as more light shoots!
