Taken outside the White Cross pub on the Lancaster canal.

Yes, I'm well aware that I'm doing too many sunset shots (or at least that in this case I should've brought the tripod and tried to do some HDR work). I'm also aware that there's too many shadows in this shot. But it was shot in a hurry and I couldn't resist the stillness of the water.

Sunset on the Lune, taken at Halton, just a few hundred metres away from the less-than-photogenic sewage treatment works.

Again, there's nothing special about this photo, yet I'm oddly fond of it. Perhaps it's the colours that do it for me, I don't know.

Taken with the 10mm lens and a linear polariser. Just a shame that the ISO setting ended up so high.

in: autoportrait condensation d40x mirror photography pretentious reflection three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008 water

Three-hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 21

This started off as an attempt at a bog-standard, in the mirror self portrait, but then the tiny reflections in the droplets of condensation caught my eye.

I told myself that I was trying to illustrate how observing a thing, in this case the droplets, changes the thing. But in hindsight I think I was being incredibly pretentious.

I wish I had a macro lens for this kind of thing.

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.
