Out with the camera club this evening and photographing light trails on the M11. There was quite a lot of police activity, hence the blue lights shown here…I actually made a timelapse of the evening which you can see below and is actually what I set out to make in

I took a walk down to the Thames Barrier with my camera the other week and took this long exposure shot of Number 8, which is the second nearest barrier to the South shore. Featured is the black and white version but you can also see a colour version below.

Dovercourt Lighthouse and Scaffolding

I had a couple of pictures I wanted to go out and get last weekend of the lighthouse over at Dovercourt. It’s an hours drive away so I was not overly pleased to find the lighthouse surrounded in scaffolding…still, I’d got out and I have photoshop…so I got to it

196/365v3 Siem Garnet

I travelled up to Aberdeen this evening, easyJet got me there in an hour and at £50 return you really could not complain about the value! Wandering around in a town you’ve never been to before can be a bit of a dicey move, especially when you are wandering around

293/365v2 A Bit More Than Driftwood

I took a quick trot down to Lower Holbrook and my stretch of beach this lunchtime armed with my 2 cameras, one digital, one film and my 16 stop ND filter. This shot took 350 seconds to take..just short of 6 minutes. You then have to wait another 6 minutes

269/365v2 Blue Tide

I popped back to the scene of a photo I took earlier this week. The tide, which I thought was going out, was a lot higher than last time I was here so I couldn’t get round the fallen tree. I didn’t mind, as this turned out to be just
