One of the perks of living in Royal Wootton Bassett is its proximity to many cool places. The Cotsworlds are on my doorstep. Bristol is near, with Cardiff just a stretch beyond. London and Birmingham aren’t crazily far, either. And then there is Bath, a city of architectural charm, soothing spas and exquisite coffee shops. The city also hosts an annual Christmas market. Last Thursday after work I stopped by for a visit with my Fujifilm x70. I am still getting familiar with both the camera and the art of street photography. One aspect I’ve often struggled with is taking night shots. Getting the settings such that enough light gets in without the subject blurring (or at least not too much) can be a pesky task to navigate. So it was fun to experiment further in Bath — an adventure made all the more pleasant with the smell of mulled wine and roasted hog for company (do visit if you get a chance). As for the photos, many ended up in the trash. A few made the final cut. Here are some of them. Enjoy!
