Temple Works provided a backdrop that included the likes of graffiti, urban architecture and a cracking sunset – not necessarily Temple Works’ doing but  it got the group some great shots!

The discussion in the Midnight Bell afterwards confirmed that it was a successful event – providing skills and generating ideas for future events. Hopefully the event will lead to more people taking that flash off their camera and putting it on a trigger
