UNA VISTA DE LOS MUERTOS
Went to practice some more night shooting last night, after spending some meaningful time at The Comfortable Chair in trivia training.
I found that the chair I was in was in fact directly the opposite.
I don't think even normal people would be overly comfortable in it.
We had the drinks voucher from our last win and Trivial Pursuit.
The beer and the board game kept us amused for hours and it was good practice, and a good lesson in trusting your instincts.
After the game was over and the beer was drunk I headed off to the cemetery.
A bit disappointed that you can't get in there at night, but I guess you don't want any sort of rabble running around there, let alone some half pissed dude on crutches with a tripod and stuff.
Imagine that, the grounds keeper arriving in the morning to find some dead cripple with his head smashed on some tombstone, having tripped over the crutches or tripod, with the camera bearing witness to the very last second of my demise.
It would make an interesting photograph though.
Still need to work out how to focus at night as at the moment it's all done by feel and estimation, resulting in things being a touch fuzzy.
And it's nothing to do with the beer.
