RAINBOW through trees

It's always hard to get a decent picture of a rainbow , first of all you can only see them from certain angles so moving round to get a better composition you can lose it completely


Got this through the branches of a tree just to concentrate the colours really

FLINT by night

I had 10 minutes to kill in Flint last night so got a few night shots
( freehand no tripod 1/8 second so hold breath and stand as still as possible )

WYNNE Evans

WYNNE EVANS 

Last week I had the pleasure of being at the launch of the International Eisteddfod that had a special guest Wynne Evans 

If you are from the UK then guaranteed you will know his work even if you don't know his name :  
Wynne Evans VS Jimmy Carr

Yes the "Go Compare" guy 

Short of being annoying like his character he was extremely funny and a very nice person to be around .....although this pic does kinda remind me of Jack Nicholson in The Shining....... "GO COMPARE!"

Another very good turnout for the Dragon fight night at Liquid . Above is the fight card for the event 
( Please inbox me if there are any corrections / errors ) 


As the majority of bouts were kickboxing and Thai rather than MMA the cage was replaced with a ring  


While having a rope ring solved some problems of shooting through a cage it also threw up its own testing issues that took a little time to get used to , but fun non the less

FIRE dancer

Bonfire night entertainment 

Entertainer playing with fire at bonfire night event 

I think if the Health and Safety squad got involved this guy would be out of a job or wearing fire proof clothing / face mask / behind reinforced glass / steel toecap shoes / using torches attached rather than flames 

To get this shot I think the camera was about "0.3 seconds and with flash on 2nd curtain ( Low ISO )

I could have done with a tripod but really other than steam railway enthusiasts , nobody really carries them round ...... (That's not a criticism just an observation)

DOG walker

Of all the pics of  an 8 - 0 victory this one stands out because of the guy in the background


Never really noticed him really till I came to process the pictures


It just says everything to me about grassroots footie


I also noticed some people had scaled a cliff face to avoid the turnstile fee

DIWALI parade Chester

 

Happy Diwali

........Although I'm not too well informed with this festival it was great to see so many participants enjoying the festival and smiling throughout . The parade went from the town hall to the town center and back 


More pics will be  in " The Leader " next week
