Halloween Wander, 31st Oct at 7pm

A wee Halloween wander Wed 31st October. 7pm, at Central Station, Gordon Street Entrance.

Have a wander about the city centre, maybe down to the river for night bridge shots, a wee snifter or two of sherry.

Sparklers (ill supply), toffee apples and fun.

Dressing up not essential!!!!



Ill be wearing my scary face mask, those who have met me have already seen it!!

Those who haven't i hope you have a strong stomach
Ronnie

What a great idea! Maybe we could include a wander through that special place near ... you know where I mean ...
ex-tobester

All ideas from experienced urbexers are more than welcome Ronnie

Im a newbie when it comes to this
Ronnie

Anybody else up for this? We could do the Jack House Memorial Square Mile of Murder tour ... or I'm happy to work out an itinerary around hanging, graverobbing, the asylum, the mortuary, lost graveyards, a hidden skull and a cemetery. That kind of thing.

Looking forward to this wee night out. And polishing my hip flask.

Odin has shone favourably on me I shall be there. My horn will be filled with liquour also...

I take it you've not been down there much even in broad daylight


So is it 7pm in Gordon Street under the canopy outside the Central Station?
falseface

You could meet outside Argyle St station.

Been a few times Fjord, last time was the Camlachie Burn wander and myself and SB had a laugh at the jakeys arguing.

Don't you start

Keep it simple with one meeting place and phone numbers for those that are joining us later.
ex-tobester

As its now 7pm, anyone who cant make it till 8pm, send me a pm by tomorrow night and ill send you my mobile number so you can call or text and ill let you know where we are (be it place or pub )

Ill probably stay active till about midnight tues/wed for this purpose, got the docs then off to get a suit on wed so might not get online till later on before departure on wed.

I will hopefully be there. That's if I can figure out where and when once INH has finished meddling with the time and location.

welcome aboard
Ronnie

Do you think we could wander past the ... er ... Cathedral area?
Be nice to see it in the dark, no?

Also the Barrowland Ballroom frontage, with the big neons.
October is the anniversary of the third Bible John murder.

The night before all All Hallows, when the barrier between this world and the next is at its thinnest, is a night for a *spooky* wander. The bridges and stuff are there every other night of the year. Let's scare ourselves silly ...

Prize for the best orb

I agree. Ghost and ghouls galore. There should be some fun costumes about the town. By the way, tarts and meringues are out as I have decided not to hang around for graduation. Sorry
ex-tobester

Good idea Ronnie, are you coming tonight M?
Ronnie

If we stray anywhere near Glasgow Green we won't be short of tarts.

Or am I wrang?

Thanks for the support for a spooky night out. I will bring a wee list of dead good places.

A bit nervous meeting you all, but don't know what I was worried about.

Ronnie, ..did I go Port after walking out the pub? I thoroughly enjoyed your stories , I missed some of them, cause of camera probs..you may have seen me looking confused most of the night

Looking forward to another walk.

Now I'll have a look at my photo efforts

Now that you know about changing the iso setting, you'll finder it alot easier :) (don't forget to change it back for your daylight pics)
AlanM

For doing those kind of shots you really need some fast glass. I know that fast glass usually means big bucks but a 50mm lens for a Canon costs around £69 new and has a maximum aperture of around f1.8 to let in lots of available light. That way you can keep the ISO a little bit lower and control the noise a bit more


This was taken on Buchanan St around 8pm at the end of September with a 50mm lens wide open (f1.7) iso 400 and a shutter speed of 1/30s
Scary

It was nice meeting you all. Time just ran away and I missed my train by 2 mins...... TAXI for Pollok !
