Taken at Sunderland, near the mouth of the Lune estuary.

I'm not really happy with any of the photos that I got in this shoot. I'm definitely going to go back and get more, because with the right conditions and the right angle I think some of them could be really cool.

One thing that never fails to amaze me is the colour reproduction from my D40x when paired with the 10-20mm Sigma lens. That's the one thing that I really like about this image: the colour of the boat, which stood out against an otherwise pretty drab background, has been captured perfectly.

By the way, the boat's for sale.

This is one of the "Fairy Caves," the old, abandoned coke ovens of Aspen Colliery in Oswaldtwistle, where I grew up.

They're full of graffiti, rubbish and needles now, but when I was a kid they held a mystique that never quite went away - until I saw them in the cold light of a windy Lancashire day after wading through mud and dodging dog turds to get to them. In that light, they're much less interesting.

It was hard to get the balance right in this shot. The sky was going to be blown whatever I did.

Taken at Morecambe bay at low tide. I would have gone for the boats usng a bigger zoom but sand + camera != good.

The anchor is actually attached to the painter of a yellow dinghie which was upside down a few yards away.

I took this whilst wandering around looking for other things to photograph (and by other things I mean wooly, four legged things, since there are quite a few around these days and they like pose for the camera).

I just liked the way the 10mm lens made the road look, but my other half has pointed out to me that there used to be two posts on that sign...

I'm starting to feel like I'm repeating myself with shots like this, but what can you do?

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.
