Fleet Hill Farm Special. Wednesday 20th September 2017

Yes, a mid week special. I was on the school run, and as we crossed the culvert bridge I glanced to my left to see if anything obvious had changed on the Fleet Hill Farm part of the reserve i.e. like the removal of the conveyor machinery.

Well, I spotted far more than that. A fairly major change in that Cemex had cut a channel to the culvert.

I came back at 7.00pm, with my trusty bridge camera, to find that Cemex had been exceedingly busy.  I couldn't miss the opportunity, so nipped over the gate into the area around the culvert.

It was getting quite dark by this time.  Not only was the sun setting, a nasty black cloud was making its way toward me.

By the time I took the last dozen or so photographs, it was very gloomy. My camera did something it had never done before.  It informed that it was going to take a nighttime shot, and was going to take multiple pictures and combine them all into one.

I did my best to hold the camera as steady as possible (I didn't bring my tripod or monopod), as it proceeded to take about half a dozen photos.  I really expected the resulting photo of combined shots to be fuzzy, and so was quite amazed when they weren't.  No idea how the camera did it, but no way did I hold it dead steady.
