Truro City of Lights

I went over to Truro for the lights festival on Wednesday 16th November 2011 with intention of shooting film for a 'community' project I was given. As usual, I took my digital along and switched between film and digital. I managed to get myself between the barriers and amongst the parade with a confident walk past the security and they just assumed I was official press for the event. I learnt a lot about the difficulties of shooting in the dark at speed without a flash, and made me realise how much I have to learn technically with photography. My film shoot came out very dark, and hasn’t worked, but i managed to salvage a few images I like from the digital side of things.
It is said as a photographer, if you enjoy your shoot more, it will show through in your work, unfortunately I really enjoyed this shoot, yet it isn't the best I’ve produced.

Truro Food Bank

These images were my first shoot for the 'Person at work' project. I have such mixed reactions about this shoot, so much so I am uncertain if I shall submit it. I went to Truro food bank for the homeless, however surprisingly no homeless showed up. This just lead me to shoot people sorting out food into sell by dates for 3 hours. I found it hard to concentrate and work different angles. In the crit when I showed this work, and mentioned that I was unsure on it, Guy Martin's reaction was similar to mine, Although I have pictures I can use, he boxed out in green, that it would probably be good to re shoot if I felt that I want to. However my course mates and flat mates have had a different reaction, marking out in red ones that a few of them liked.
I haven't done many work prints yet as I have been focussing on other shoots.

I would be grateful for any feed back.
