As the sun sets on industry

Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 135

Taken at Glasson Dock, at the mouth of the Lune estuary (the opposite bank from Sunderland Point.

These cranes just happened to be between me and the sun. I love the combination of the light, the sky, the silhouettes and the reflections on the water.

Pools of fire

Snapped near Jubilee tower after a rainy day. Not even remotely perfect, but a nice effect all the same.

You can see the Lune estuary in the distance at the left of the photo and the twin buildings of Heysham nuclear power station on the right.

Ye olde railway bridge

The old rail bridge over the Lune at Caton. It now carries a cycle path rather than the railway.

Three Hundred and Sixty odd days of 2008, day 92

I returned to Sunderland to try and get some of the shots that I thought I'd missed yesterday. This is one of them. I'm still not entirely happy with it, but I've processed the hell out of it anyway.

Another Bloody Boat

Another Bloody Boat

Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 91

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.

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.
