On an annual basis York decides to shower its monuments with colour. The Minster was blossomed with dancing light activated by noise.
I tried to capture this as best I could, whilst people all around were whistling and shouting to get the different colours to shine all over the fascia.
I used a 1 second exposure with 4.0 aperture to try and get some of the colour before it either died out or changed to a different colour. Boy was it hard, I still don't think it looks anywhere as good as it did on the night in real.

That's amazing. DId you change anything in Photoshop with this photo? Or was it already like that? It's so cool. What does it look inside. Sorry with all the questions. ~Shawna

Hi, no all I did in Photo shop was to try and remove the annoying line in the middle a little. Because all the lights were moving this happened, I guess it maybe where the different colour lights were mixing over the one second exposure. Very special inside, worth a visit if your ever in York
