Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 78

The disused railway station building at Halton.

The railway itself is now the Lancaster Millenium cycleway. Sometimes, I confess, I wish it was still there.

It had to be in sepia, though, didn't it. I mean, I couldn't not have done.

Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 72

A gnarled tree on the south bank of the Lune at Halton. How it managed to get to this shape I don't know.

This is black and white because I managed to massively overexpose it. Monochroming it and playing with the contrast allowed me to bring out the texture far more than a colour image would've.

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.

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.
