A unique opportinuty
Eclipse Bowling in Workington opened their doors leading to some great photos including a view behind the scenes at the machines making the bowling alley tick. A great photoshoot under difficult conditions went beautifully!
Gaiety Cinema pictures cause a stir
It seems that my pictures which ran in The Whitehaven News have provoked a good reaction!
Page 10 of this weeks’ paper (23rd December 2009) features letters from the public who having seen my pictures are backing up the plea to re-open the cinema, especially in light of the Workington bridge disaster which makes it difficult to get to the local multiplex.
There is even a Facebook group called Re-open the Gaiety Cinema – please join up!
My full Gaiety picture set can be viewed here; http://www.flickr.com/photos/horrgakx/sets/72157622745861702/

Marathon weekend behind the camera
Another fantastic and marathon weekend behind the camera; 2x Cricket matches, Workington Reds playing at home, a charity bed push, soldier returning from Afghanistan, a kids party, stock photos of a trading estate, a ploughing competition, a celebrity chef and finally; Solfest!!
It was quite a challenge this weekend, I was amazingly busy, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m very happy with the results!!

Caught!

A specatcular theatre came to Whitehaven; Theatre Tol’s production of Corazon de Angeles. An amazing visual spectacle, the likes of which haven’t been seen in Cumbria for a long time!
Amazing combination of theatre and opera which was performed inside the crowd!
The fireworks finished off the evening.

4th July Fireworks in Whitehaven

The new management at Sellafield Limited here in Cumbria are American. They put on a spectacular 4th July fireworks display and my shoot went well. I managed to shoot for the entire duration and then picked the best of them in post-production.
I think the next time this happens I’ll be moving closer to the water to get the reflections.
