NFPS members brave the stormy weather, by Matthew Polke

Blackpool Illuminations are always spectacular, even on a stormy, rainy night. North Fylde’s annual trip out to the ‘loomies’ threw in some new obstacles this year as well as the usual challenges of night time photography. Wind and rain. However in the two hour gap between downpours the members who attended took advantage, and collected some wonderfully unique shots.

The group stuck together and assisted each other in finding new ways to get the best out of the conditions given. Looking for reflections, lighting and opportunities available to them, and producing some beautiful shots in the process.

We look forward to seeing some of the images crop up in our upcoming competitions and members nights.
