Even in the darkest parts of the night, there will always be light cast from the cities, towns and villages. ”Light pollution, also known as photo pollution, is the presence of anthropogenic and artificial light in the night environment. It is exacerbated by excessive, misdirected or obtrusive use of light, but even carefully used light fundamentally alters natural conditions.”

Scarborough Beach Huts

Whilst in Scarborough today I went along the seafront past the Spa and to this little row of beach huts. The bright colours of the doors caught my attention amongst the rather bleak landscape. The area looked abandoned, old weeds growing tall in front of the block and messy metal fencing hanging at awkward angles. The cold weather made me feel very out of place, the brightly painted doors and rolling waves behind me belonging in a much warmer, sunnier setting.

My photography teacher and I came up with a plan for a shoot today. I’m going to Scarborough tomorrow and in my lesson, he helped me work out a route along the seafront where I can take photographs for my final project. I decided to do a shoot including the beach huts to develop some photographs I took last summer down in Dorset and to also try to get some videos of the sea and of plants moving in the wind.
