Last month’s meeting topic Night Photography elicited some fine and varied responses from our members showing the world after dark in many guises. Black and white featured strongly including atmospheric urban shots of people walking the wet pavements after dark, views through veiled hotel windows striking a slightly sinister note, the sinuous curves of a river making its way to the sea through the twilight and the darkened streets of St Ives after all the tourists have gone home, showing a different side of the seaside town. There were plenty of fine colour images too – the vivid colours of the Northern Lights, the secret life of snails after dark, the subtle tones of misty horizons at dusk, views into interiors through windows, experiments with painting with light and most astonishing of all, a city constructed of rubbish lit up inside a glass box. Here is a selection of the evening’s images:
