A night time shot of a car wing mirror with out of focus lights in the background, taken while reminiscing about the movie Taxi Driver. I really loved that movie!

Another shot of the Twin Sails bridge in Poole, Dorset, UK.
Sadly when I took this shot I didn’t have a wide enough lens to squeeze the poles that you can see disappearing out of the top of the frame into the shot. Fortunately my lens has now been repaired so I shall have another visit at some point.

This is the Twin Sails bridge in Poole, Dorset, UK. It was due to open a few weeks ago but due to some unexpected complications it has been delayed indefinitely.
It is lit up at night time and looks pretty interesting from across the water.
(FYI I discovered this evening that all of the lights on the bridge automatically switch off at 12am, having arrived only five minutes before).

There is a road in Poole, Dorset where lots of the houses kind of compete with each other using Christmas decorations. It’s got to a point now where the local media usually cover the event each year. There are at least ten or so houses together in a cul-de-sac that are all absolutely plastered in lights and decorations of all descriptions.
This was a quick psychedelic shot taken with a Lensbaby, (I’m not particularly keen on Lensbabies to be honest with you!).

Here are a couple of night time shot taken recently in Poole, Dorset to mark the 11th November 2011. I had originally hoped to venture outside during the daytime to capture some shots but in the end had to find my inspiration after dark.
It was pretty much impossible to avoid the fact that the date could be expressed as 11/11/11 recently, with numerologists crawling out of the woodwork everywhere you looked, while getting incredibly excited at the prospect of this once in a century event (these events seem to happen far more regularly than the excitement they generate would suggest).
There was even a Flickr group created especially for the occasion, as well as numerous other sites set-up to encourage people to document the day and I decided that I wasn’t going to miss a good opportunity to create some photographs. I was quietly considering the options available to me when I suddenly remembered seeing these lights embedded into the pavement back during the summer but was unsure at the time how to make an interesting shot with them. Fortunately 11/11/11 gave me the perfect opportunity to return for another attempt.
I don’t really need much of an excuse to take a photograph, even if I am a little dubious at times about the significance of the event in question!
