Here is a compiled shot of the Lunar Eclipse that occurred early on 28th September 2015 – made up from 10 images, each around 5 minutes apart. This shows the entry of the moon into the Earth’s umbral shadow and, once fully in shadow, the rusty red ‘blood’ moon due to being lit by the…
A stunning five shot panorama taken near our holiday cottage a few miles outside South Molton of the Devon sunset – turns out that ‘red sky at night…’ did not apply – Sunday was rather wet to start off with, though did improve later…good for Sparky’s first visit to the beach…more to follow… Post processed to…
Two photographs of bluebells taken on the short walk back to the car from the Wellington Monument. Not seen many of these this year, but not been walking through many woods – most of my walking is being done across fields taking Sparky for his exercise or in town near the office! Technical details:…
Here we have a silhouette of the Wellington Monument in the Blackdown Hills near Wellington, Somerset. I had just dropped my son off at school in Tiverton and was heading back home, and, as the evening was sunny (certainly way more than I had seen for much of the day!) I decided to take a small detour to take…
Spring has arrived here in the UK – recently we have had some very warm and pleasant weather (though as we go into a Bank Holiday weekend, typically, the forecast is for rain…needed after the dry weather, but during the working week would be fine!) Here are some Forget-me-Nots that are growing on the the…
Another shot taken last Thursday evening on the way back to my hotel – St Paul’s Cathedral and the Millenium Bridge taken from the South side of the River Thames. A long exposure (15s) so the people on the bridge have disappeared (not that there were many when this was taken, and the river is…
This is the National Gallery taken from Trafalgar Square in London – taken last Thursday as I was staying in London for the eclipse (see previous post as to how that didn’t work out!) No tripod was used here, simply placed the camera on the wall surrounding the pool for the fountains – used a…
So…this is the thwarted Eclipse…so much thick cloud cover, we could barely see the planes on final approach into London City Airport from our vantage point – this is the view from the entrance to East India Dock on the River Thames. This is the vision of what I wanted to take (as well as…
This is a set of four photographs taken last weekend during a trip to Glastonbury Tor and St Michael’s Tower – a rather overcast day until we were leaving, lending itself nicely to the conversion to Black and White. We got lucky with the parking, finding a space quite close to the bottom of the Tor…
This is a photograph taken at Canada Water – this view shows the striking Canada Water Library (inverted prism…well, sort of!)) along with the Shard in the background. The picture was taken on a lunchtime trip to Canada Water on my way back to the Jubilee line station (underneath and behind the library) having been…
