I was asked to photograph the Drumbeg Branch of the WI's 50th anniversary dinner which was held at Stormont, the seat of Government in Northern Ireland.

It was to include a group shot of about 60 ladies and some generics plus some images for press publication.

Prior to the evening I visited Stormont to recce the stairwell to see what I would require.

Thankfully I had a twin set of Bowens I could make use of.

The Nikon D3 camera kit had not arrived so I had to make do with the D1's. Which are not very good in low light.

I placed the Bowens (without softboxes or equivalent as none available) at 45 degree angles to the stairs which I think did an ok job of it.

The customer was happy and it was published in the Ulster Star.

A recent job in Ballykelly took me to a previous military barracks which is now up for sale. Formerly an RAF base it also houses its own runway and other buildings and was last home to an Infantry battalion.
Now it sits empty and overgrown.
