Lancaster Priory at night.

I don't like this shot all that much, but it was cold and dark and the light was very poor, so I did the best I could (I would have photographed Manchester Cathedral earlier, but didn't have my camera with me for various reasons).

I do like the reflections in the paving stones; I just wish I hadn't had to crop down the left hand side of the image to remove an importunate litter bin.

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.
