ASSEMBLY ELECTION: Pembrokeshire is singing the blues

It was a night to remember - for me at least, maybe not so for the Lib Dems - taking my first photos at an election count.
Pembrokeshire really is true blue with both the Carmarthen West & South Pembrokeshire and Preseli Pembrokeshire Welsh Assembly seats retained by Tory AMs Angela Burns and Paul Davies, and both seats being held by the Conservatives at Westminster.
The South Pembs seat was delcared before 5am with the Preseli constituency following swiftly behind. Thankfully there were no recounts, otherwise we may still be there now.
The light was tricky and I had to work hard to avoid making everyone look like they'd lived in a tanning shop for a month. In spite of having to put make-up on at midnight, set off out into the rain and take pictures while trying to be as alert as possible when I'm normally fast asleep, I have to say I had great fun.
For more news and pictures from the 2011 election results see next week's Western Telegraph or go online at westerntelegraph.co.uk.
Here are a few of my shots of Angela and Paul and of the count in progress. And now, even though it's 11am, it's 'good night' from me.
