Thursford Lights Display

by Johnwnjr

In Norfolk each year for the last 40 years there has been a variety show at Thursford which has become well known. In connection with this there are overall 6 million fairy lights, and 25 performances by 130 artists starting in November and finishing just before Christmas. Already for this year 2017 they have sold over 25,000 tickets for a show that costs £3,000,000 to put on (2,500,000 of that is for costumes). There are also steam engines and carousels and I took many photos but feel this result was one of the best.

That has come out great. Even in this digital age, I'm still amazed if I take stuff like this, it comes out. I don't like shooting under these conditions, but you cracked it.

I agree - except the grass gives it away! Different!

Very pleasing result, especially if it was hand-held!

Thanks everyone. It was hand held. I haven't had time to explore many settings on the K1, so it was on the automatic program. John
