Light Night

Light installation at Leeds City Museum

Slow shutter speed Experiments (whilst dancing to music)

I visited Leeds Light Night a few weeks ago which was quite magical; Leeds City Museum, The Opera House and Many Art galleries were open especially for exhibition of all things to do with light. I particularly enjoyed a night-time performance at the Opera House- one of the lofty galleries had been decorated like an english courtyard garden and every ten minutes two opera singers would emerge from the crowd and perform a sweeping duet, while a string quartet played in the background. Even whilst walking around town there were many performers in the streets- (I took the slow shutter photos whilst dancing along to some bhangra music). The highlight of the night was wandering into the Town Hall to find Lotte Reiniger Fairytale animations playing on the big screen, some of them dating back to 1920- It is amazing to see how animation all began and how brilliant it still looks even now!
