My derelict image today was not going to be another fisheye, after yesterday's circular fisheye in St Thomas' Church. HUGE thanks for all who got it up to #2 in the Spotlights.

Walking about in the middle of the night, with an overcast slight misty awful streetlamp tinged brown sky, I took my big Sigma flashgun out, as I had some success recently filling in with a zap of the portable sunshine (from my teeny Sunpak) in my Alderbury church Blip the other day.

Wanting to be tripod free, I took my very fast 20mm Sigma f1.8, which I used right up until this shot. I had also slipped in my pocket the tiny Nikkor 16mm f2.8 fisheye and I used this simply because it could get a lot more in. Not just for the dumped rubbish but the horrible eyesore of this derelict area around the railway tracks just west of Salisbury station. Using the wide-angle Fresnel flipdown on the flash and I was able to get an amazing amount of flash coverage, with almost all of the 180 degree frame lit to a fair degree.

Bed now, folks, catch you all later!
