Bristol Road Light Trails Experiment

As I have done a lot of night photography and feel it is one of my strengths, I thought I would experiment with some more night photography and light trails this weekend and see what I could capture.

I decided to try and photograph moving cars while moving the camera on the tripod along with the car as it went pass me on the road.  It was difficult to find the right exposure on my camera but ended up mainly shooting these images on an ISO 100 with around 2 seconds exposure.  I then started moving the camera on the tripod in along with cars and ended up with images like the ones below.

Towards the end of the shoot, a group of smack heads approached me asking me what I was doing so I kind of explained to them, not that they really cared like.  The girl insisted I got a photo of her so I said alright, but didn't expect her to lift her top up for the camera so fortunately this wasn't in focus.. although if it was, it would have been one hell of an ugly shot!  She was a mess.
 

Swansea University Work Experience 04

I also photographed the 'Centre For Sustainable Aquaculture' in Swansea University, where many species of sea life are studied, both animals and plants.  Below are the images that I took in this section of the 'College Of Science'.

Swansea University Work Experience 03

On day three of the work experience, I went on a field trip with the 'Biosciences Department' to Oxwich to look for otter remains.  They were looking for there poo to establish what they were eating to survive in the Gower area as a part of a study.  Although we didn't see any otters, poo was found and they were able collect the poo for further study back at the lab (as pictured below).

They asked me to come along with them and photograph the day, their findings and some wildlife for the ' Biosciences Department'.

This is picking out the particles of food from the poo to establish what the otters are eating.

 Above are the images of the group that went on the field trip down Oxwich.

These are the images I managed to capture of the wildlife that was about down Oxwich; above are pictures of water snails, tadpoles and two different breeds of moths.

Swansea University Work Experience 02

These are some of the images that I took from my second day on work experience in Swansea University.  I was asked to go around the 'College Of Science' department and photograph the facilities, experiments, apparatus and students using the various facilities for their website page.  Here are some of the shots that I took on this day of work experience.

This is an experiment about how quickly things decay in different liquids and solids, or if they do decay at all. 

The way snakes should be, dead!

These are pictures of post graduate students working on their experiments in the laboratories and equipment provided.
