Press night for the light show is the 28th and it appears to be going “roughly” to schedule, still some last-minute things to sort out hence these first days of the blog have been absent of content, A couple of shots away from the E.F. that I have taken for the blog.
23rd.
I have purchased a security light which activates when the Pine Martin is near the feeder, and this is one of many shots I have taken while sitting in our lounge, warm and cosy, not stuck in a hide in under ten C temperatures, I know I am a wimp.
24th.
The wife heard this strange noise in the air and alerted me to it and I grabbed this shot out of the window without the correct lens or settings on my camera, mainly because I had not seen one of these over us.
It is an American attack aircraft called an Osprey and is a vertical take-off and landing craft that has the ability to rotate its propellers ninety degrees up to the position that a helicopter has. Looked it up on Google and believe it or not the cost of EACH aircraft is SEVENTY MILLION dollars, unbelievable.
25th.
Last blog I showed you the start of the main display at the E.F. well this is one section of the complete panel, all the lights around the outside and the net screen for the projection section being fitted with no help by the wind. The floating platforms behind are the outriggers that attach to the wheel and contain their own rectangle screen when built, for any adjustments during the run the technicians have to walk the plank over those wobbly sections.
A simple Bramble when lit (even during the day) just takes on a new dimension.
The same goes for these trees.
The small bridge with fairy lights looks even better at night.
28th.
Shrubs and trees look wonderful at night with the different colours projected onto them. The last shot looks like camera shake but I did it deliberately to get a different affect.
So simple but affective, there are four glitter balls under the fairy light bridge the gives a wonderful display.
Trees floodlit and a bit of smoke introduced.
Trees across the southern end of the loch.
The main display at the Southern end of the loch was all through the trees with fifty odd lights changing colour , the added smoke just gives it a wonderful atmosphere.
The same area as above but just a different colour.
I shall add more shots mainly of the big display that I have shown you at the start of this E.F. section, I am going for the second time on the 11th of October so hang on until then.
