That old tunnel looks in great condition and considering the effort it took to build it, it is a shame that it probably will never be used again. There are many others like it. I worked on the railways and there are much, much worse tunnels that are in use. Some are so wet that they have curved corrugated iron around the ceiling and walls to direct the running water into drainage channels at the sides. Some of these have many repairs to brickwork. Others have been 'Shotcreted' to make them safe. Canal tunnels are sometimes worse because they are smaller and obviously permanently damp.

Hello Patrick, I'm surprised that I have never seen your channel before as I spend a lot of time on KZbin mainly looking at camping video's. That's how I found you and now I'm at the light painting video demo after watching a couple of railway tunnel explorations which included light painted shots. As a novice type of photographer, I'm always interested by tutorials given on-line by people such as yourself. I am wondering if a different torch, maybe more illuminating (literally) for this kind of photography?) I'm thinking maybe an LED torch with variable focus and power? I will not mention the brand here, but it begins with LED.......I'm really enjoying your video's and am now going back to watch some more on this very wet Saturday evening. Keep them coming. I'm pleased your health has got better.

I,am going to do a similar vidio next few weeks using flash in same location were focussing is more important and yes I pre focus on a lit up spot using auto focus then camera back to manual with focus fixed on that spot, as you mentioned.

Good to see you out and about and for showing us the setting required to do these fantastic light pictures. Never seen these type of pictures until recently on some of your earlier videos. Must checkout my camera out and see if o can do timed exposures and give it a go. Thanks for sharing could you tell give us the Name and model of that your torches especially the large one thanks Dave

Hi Dave yes great little place to spend a day messing with my camera, the torches, which there are many different ones for sale, are a night searcher, Panther, with 1500 lumen beam, great for big railway tunnels and my smaller one with rechargeable D cells is a Ledlenser P17, not as bright but great for drains and culverts and a back up, all the best Pat

There's always light at the end of the tunnel but Patrick is the master of lighting in tunnels. Do you still use your homemade flashguns as well?
@patrickdickinson64925 жыл бұрын
Hi Michael light painting still gives me the best photographs, I still have my flash guns and use them but bulbs so expensive, still they are very interesting to use, in large tunnel like areas, might be another video there, thanks pat

How would two or three not so perfect images look layered on top of each other using photoshop type software? I'd image they'd blend together to make one superb dynamic image.

Very nice. I'm surprised that the tunnel seems quite dry; I expected you would be splashing about.

Hello Pat, I’ve done a couple of exploring videos on my channel but nothing as professional as yours. I’ve just purchased the same torch and camera you have. I’m about to order the same lens as well but how do I get one that I know fits the camera? Sorry I’m new to all this!
@patrickdickinson64923 жыл бұрын
Hi lenses are made to fit a variety of cameras, a dealer would specify which camera a lense would fit. My 10 /20 mm Sigma zoom lense was made just to fit a Sony alpha series of cameras, best get some advice from a camera shop, hope helps, thanks Pat

Patrick Dickinson thanks again Pat. I want to get all the equipment before I do an explore as in the past when I’ve explored underground places the footage comes out awful and I can hardly see where I am walking!
