Hey all, new member here and I thought some of you may be interested in abandoned places seen at night through the wonder of night photography, I plan to take a LOT more shots of this type in the Cumbria area, specifically old military sites such as Silloth airfield. If anyone knows of any cool spots for me to visit at night, feel free to PM me, cheers!

Top work mate, superbly lit shots. If I were anywhere nearer I'd give you a shout! I love aircraft like that, plenty in my Flickr account.
 
Hi foxylady, no, I havent visited there as of yet, the 1st 2 were taken near Barrow-in-Furness where I live...
 
Hi Nocturn,

How long ago were the pics at RAF Millom taken, I guess that's the Whirlwind that's now displayed in RAF rescue yellow.

Welcome to DP where are you based ?

Phil

EDIT * Just re-read your last post and see that you're in Barrow *

Hey Phil, they were taken fairly recently, around 2-3 months ago, and no, not the yellow whirlybird which is at the Haverigg site, these were taken at the Millom restoration hall, Im pretty sure theyre still there awaiting restoration.
Im based in Barrow-in-Furness, I guess your from the area?
Ah, just looked at your profile, not too far away then...
 
Im not sure how long the wrecked whirlwinds been there...
Ive been invited to go inside the hall at night and take some shots, should be interesting..
Incidentally, if your in Barrow before 29th Feb, pop in to Forum28 , I have an exhibition going on at the moment, these shots are included.
 
HI Nocturn . Im based in Carlisle if your planning on visiting Silloth some time soon let me know , Im up there and kirkbride every fortnight so know the places really well. there are plenty of places this end of The county send me a pm.

Our local camera shop don't carry that much kit.......
..When you go exploring I take it you have an ex-army 3 Tonner to carry that lot around in then ??? Heh heh!:)
 
You are only a new member at the moment Nocturn, you will get pm's after a few more post , I would be up for a trip to Silloth thought if you're interested.

I wouldn't know what one of them was mate if it fell over on my head....!
....and I sure as hell wouldn't have much of an idea what to do with the rest of your list either .....:)
........Each to their own I guess....I'm more into Guitars and Motorbikes to be honest than cameras!... Your list sure makes my little Cannon Powershot S45 sound a bit feeble !
heh heh!
Welcome to ya anyways...and yer photos are well cool too ! !!:)
 
Your on Phil, Im up for it anytime, but would prefer it in darkness if thats ok...?
Dont worry, Im harmless!
Mostly :p

Cheers Smiffy, its a 24" fine art printer, and maybe I should have added my Fender Strat Plus Deluxe to the list....
I listened to your stuff on myspace, good stuff, wish I could play slide....
