This started during the Covid lockdown as a way to bring some Christmas cheer but it now seems to have become something of a tradition. The folk at the Gallows Bridge boatyard in Shipley persuade Santa and his missus to have a short cruise along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal through Shipley and Saltaire, to the delight of our local children.
I got my camera settings right this year. (I do learn!) To get a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the action in the gathering twilight, it needed a very high ISO but the 'noise' (grain) generated was easily dealt with by Lightroom's new denoise feature. Smiles all round!
What a fun (and cold it looks like) way for Santa and friendly elves to arrive! Good shots and you win the photography prize (if there is one!)
