Just Jane by moonlight

A few pictures from the Timeline event at East Kirkby last night. Thanks to Neil and the team for another great evening.

Lit by moonlight. With all the lights turned off we tried to shoot the milky way but unfortunately the moon gave too much light, can't have everything !!

We were also visited early in the evening by the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance who had come for refreshments and to undertake some NVG practice on what they thought was going to be a deserted airfield. As they left they were persuaded - in the name of practice - to illuminate Just Jane with their searchlight. With the ground lights off, these were the results.

Thanks for looking, comments and criticism welcome.

V. atmospheric esp. #8. What's to criticise (in terms of photography)? Personally I don't really think the re-enactors (who seem to be at all these events) make a very positive contribution as they always look unnatural and not authentic e.g. the corporal with arms folded in # 4 much too smart to pass for ground crew - where's the oil stains?
