Slightly delayed in uploading this one as first Flickr, then my web server, exploded in my face when I tried.

Taken during yet another of our recent spectacular sunsets. I just happened to like the colour that the tree - normally a sort of greenish grey - took on.

Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 26

Taken at Bull Beck, near Caton, on a bend in the Lune.

I was stood at the water's edge as I too this, having tromped through a field left insanely boggy by the floods of two weeks back.

I'm starting to long for some blue sky and decent weather so that I can venture further afield and try new things. As it is, I quite like this shot but would have liked to have changed the angle of it slightly so that it felt bigger.

It's a little too dark, I think, mostly as a result of processing, but I couldn't bring out the reflections in the water without blowing the sky completely.

Three-hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, Day 18

I had a couple of ideas for today's photo, one of which I didn't have time to try but which I might try tomorrow. This was the other one.

Taken on the cycle path, Crook O'Lune, near Lancaster, at about quarter to eleven at night. I'm not hugely fond of this; there really wasn't enough light to work with, but it does have a certain dark and lonely quality to it, which is what I was after. I like the fact that there's still colour at this time of night.

Really, I wish I'd had more time to compose this. It would probably have worked better if I'd been closer to the ground (though I'd need a much smaller tripod for that, or very, very steady hands). I also wish that I'd done it earlier in the day.

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
