Mystery Trip

Half term what to do?  Well the obvious thing to do is to is too torment the kids by inviting them to go on a mystery trip.  This drives them mad with curiosity, and the dilemma of whether to join us, and the little ones on the trip.  As you can tell from the picture we headed off to Brighton.  The sign above the pier sure becoming iconic.  We headed off with just one of the older kids.

The drive to Brighton was long due to the huge stretches of average speed checks along the route.  These are needed to ensure the safety of the road workers as the lean against their vehicles watching the traffic crawl by.

Never having driven to Brighton, we did not really know which was the best place to park.  We ended up in a very secure place a little way from the seafront, which afforded us a nice walk through the little lanes via the Brighton Dome, before we hit the beach.

Brighton is full of small boutiques, secondhand shops, as well as the usual commercial suspects.  Even the bigger chains seen to join in the bohemian fun of the town.

It was lunchtime when we arrived, and as it was such a lovely day we hit the beachfront cafes for fish and chips.

After a slap up lunch the next obvious stop was the famous Brighton Pier

Piers are great fun, and have oodles of opportunities for snappers like myself.  In fact every third person seemed to be sporting a DSLR.  The carousel, ghost train, and dodgems were great for Callum to go on.  He has severe learning difficulties, and loves lights, sounds, and the hustle and bustle of the fairground.

All in all a great day out.

WFK Shoot

WFK Shoot, a set on Flickr.

These are a few shots from a shoot with Waiting For Katherine. They wanted to get some promo-style images to use for their website and social media sites. I always get a bit nervous when people ask me to do things like this. I was lucky enough to have room to set up away from the band so I wouldn't interfere too much with their rehearsal. This was a two light set up, lastolite background, and four nervous rockers! Andy, who asked for the shoot, had some ideas of what he wanted to achieve which was great. Some of the stills are to be used in a video to be projected at a future event.
