One of the arches of the Ribblehead viaduct.

I've been trying to find a way to shoot this viaduct for the last few months, but either I've been too late in the day (and the sun's been in the wrong place) or the weather's spoiled the composition.

Finally, I found an angle that works quite well, even if the sun wasn't where I wanted. This is taken from under arch number 12, if I remember correctly. It's a single exposure, but I used the Gimp's curves tool to darken the sky a bit and add the tint.

I still have one other idea (which has been done many times before, I'm sure) about how to capture the viaduct just so, but it'll need a winter's day, probably a foggy one, and an early start.

Best viewed large, on black.

Yet another one of the many moods of Morecambe bay. Utterly beautiful.
This could be anywhere in the world; everyone that I've told has been surprised that this was in Morecambe.

I may be an atheist, but I love this image; not for the cross, but for what it ought to represent, even though it is misused the world over.

This was a test shot to make sure that my lens was clean. I love the colours - unretouched - and the pattern. I could look at skies like this all day and never get bored.

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.
