Taken at Fell Foot Park, looking north up Windermere near sunset.

Here's how you acheive world peace: take all the het up people here at sunset and let them look for a while.

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 Search of an ND Grad Filter

The horrendous weather finally began to break up and bugger off today, much to my relief. The fields at the foot of the hill are flooded by what is still technically the river Lune, and I was trying to get a shot of that. Unfortunately, the bright sky, which I didn't want to lose, mean that I could expose one or the other but not both. Lacking a grad ND filter I couldn't do much about it, so I exposed for the sky (with a polariser) and cropped out the dark treeline.

There'll be other chances, anyway. The river floods at the drop of a hat.

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.
