The Winter Lights Festival is held at Anglesey Abbey In Cambridge every year between November and December. I went here almost two years ago and it truly was a spectacular event. The work put in to the festival was truly immense, sadly I do not have as many pictures as I would like as my skills back then aren't what they are now. When I went I thought it would be interesting to see how they would lay out the festival and was intrigued at what exactly they would be doing here, I knew that they would use different lights to make the trees and foliage look more interesting but I didn't know exactly how this would be done, what the layout of the location was like, if any other events would be going on there and so on. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. I know for a fact that I took well over 700 pictures while I was there. With my tripod in hand, me and many other photographers were trying to capture the spectacles before us, I also met a variety of photographers who offered useful advice that helped me capture photos in the dark.
Besides the trees themselves there were other activities to do and food served whilst people were venturing through the area. I never got the chance to see any of these, however, I took to long getting there, which is also why I had so many photos!
Here are just a few that I have taken:
While the trees as a whole looked amazing I was also fascinated with the textures of the plants and how the light hit them and made them appear. These pictures are actually my favourites from the festival, the contrast between the light and dark, the colours and shapes all made these pictures stand out to me.
If anyone is interested in seeing other pictures I have taken you can have a look at my website and flickr page. I will provide the links below:
