At the very end of 2013 I visited the abandoned village of Imber on Salisbury Plain. The village is only open during certain days of the year as it is owned by the MOD and is mostly used for military training purposes.

During the Easter weekend the village was open to the public and one of the regular attendees of the Bath Photowalk suggested meeting up at Imber in order to try out some low-light photography.

Armed with a vast array of props including torches, candles, paraffin, glow-sticks and powerful flash guns, a small group of us spent a couple of fun hours playing around with long exposures and trying to capture some interesting images. By the time we had stopped, the temperature had dropped to 2 degrees and we were all very thankful for the hot chocolate, fruit pastilles and chocolate fingers that Stuart had brought with him! I honestly can't wait to get back out and try to get more images like this!
