these boots ...

Here's another shot from my recent wander around with Simon Jenkins: a shot of a rather obliging lady we met on Fleetwood beach.

The North Euston Hotel

The building on the right of this shot is the North Euston Hotel at Fleetwood, a building that looks very isolated when shot from this section of the beach.

another british summer

2013-06-01T13:41:30+00:00

I think the title for this one probably speaks for itself: another british summer.

And in case you're wondering about the post-production: I didn't do much to this one other than drop in a different sky. There was some detail in the original, but it was very flat and drab and didn't suit the lighting on the building.

Jura #9

2013-05-29T09:08:55+00:00

This was taken while we were on our way to the north of Jura to photograph George Orwell's house and the Corryvreckan whirlpool. It was a bit of a struggle to get right – the boat was moving quite quickly making composition and focussing a bit of a struggle – but I'm pleased with how this one turned out. As you'll see, I had to be a bit creative with the Raymarine text – the composition was a bit tight – but as all my wider shots were a bit blurred I decided that this one provided the best starting point.

As always, let me know what you think.

NCI Rossal Point

This is a shot of NCI Rossal Point, the relatively new coast guard station near Fleetwood.

It's also the image I've posted as this week's Mini-PSD.

Tabby, Tiggy and Harmony

2013-05-23T20:25:01+00:00

For most of the shots I take I think it would be fair to say that I'm borderline OCD when it comes to noise, camera shake, and so on, but for images like this I really don't care: a shot of Tabby, Tiggy and Harmony, just as they were waking up one morning back in January.

At some point I guess I'll either get fed up of photographing the old pier or St. Annes, or run out of ideas, but I hope it's not for a while: I love this structure :)
