Sligo by Night

I had to pick up Lucy from the cinema this evening so it was a great chance to take some night shots. Hyde Bridge has been lit up blue for World Diabetes Day, I think it looks beautiful. I still have the 1100D from Canon and I couldn’t find the tripod (nothing new there), so I had to lean on a wall to keep steady and I used a slow shutter speed to get the water to look like that. Apart from that it’s straight out of the camera.

I love night photos, just think there’s something very magical about them.

The river is the Garavogue that runs through Sligo, I heard it’s the shortest river in Ireland.

I was hoping to get more cars going past the bank but it was a quiet night so there was only one car, hence the one light trail.
