Matthew Kelly's photostream

It'd been a while since i've done any night photography so i decided to go out and do some again. Instead i wanted to get away from doing quite wide shots and try to focus in on smaller areas and details.

This was taken down Little Mason Street, Hull.

About a 3 minute exposure at f/8.0, ISO100.

This is the first image in a series i have just started to shoot and will hopefully continue to shoot. Recently around 22 pieces of art were put up around Beverley from two artists which acted as an "outdoor" exhibition and also a trail through Beverley.

One thing you notice as you start looking at these pieces of art is that they have been placed in pretty horrible places and places that can't be seen such as above shops.

This is currently just a work in progress and is something i am still thinking through.

Recently the english rapper Professor Green released a studio video of a song called 'Today I Cried' which included the use of what i think is fluorescent lights. I really liked the way they had been used and was something i had a sudden urge to try.

I'm not too sure if the lighting used here is fluorescent lighting but it was just a quick test. It then also gave me an idea of a series of urban portraits which is also something else i will be thinking through.

As it is a quick work in progress it was shot on ISO1600 so there's a fair bit of noise and was shot in the stairwell of the Princes Quay car park in Hull.
