Expanded Project - Light Estate

I found this estate whilst turning round to photograph some houses I passed for the previous post. It is situated in the Temple Newsam Conservation area in Leeds. This relatively small estate with around 32 buildings incredibly had about half lit up with varying amounts of fairy and christmas lights. I thought it would be interesting to photograph every building in the estate and put them together to see how they appear visually to put into a more visual perspective the ratio of lit up houses. The images are quite dark in places as I shot them all at f22 to try to keep as much detail sharp as possible but was limited to a 30second shutter speed.

The body of work isn't particualrly successful I dont think but it was an interesting exercise. Plus I eventually figured out contact sheets in bridge which is very useful.
