Gone fishin’
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 248 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.
Message in the sand

In the pale moonlight
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 246 Mucking around with off-camera flash, using the Caroline Diane as a subject. Direct flash to camera right (Nikon SB-600) at 1/32 power. I underexposed the background by about two stops. Wish I could have softened the flash a bit to remove [...]
A lance of light
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 245 Possibly the best sunset shot I’ve ever taken from Morecambe bay. I love this image.
In sunset pastels
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 244 The Caroline Diane again. I was walking past her (as far as I could tell she hadn’t moved since last time) and saw the colours in the sky behind her; I had to get this shot.
The gods’ sunshine colander
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 243 The third of my three oh-look-it’s-morecambe-bay shots from Jubilee tower. This one reminded me of the way water pours out of a colander for some reason.
Basking in the sun
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 242 The Caroline Diane, another local Morecambe boat, at rest on the fine sands towards the northern end of the promenade. I don’t think that this bit of sand ever gets flooded by the tide; I wonder if she’s left so far [...]
Brave new world
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 195 View On Black I bought a new camera today: a Nikon D300. Incidentally, I love it. Taken on the bluffs at Heysham Head with the Sigma 10-20mm.
Ideal view
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 162 When I grow old and retire I want to have a view like this in the evening. Of course, I could do with out all the other stuff that comes with such a view, viz, erosion, wind damage, flooding and a [...]
Calm
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 146 Morecambe Bay at sunset. The partner to this image.
A string of man-made pearls
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 138 Left behind by man and the tide, lying on a seaweed-filled beach. The perfect focal point for a photograph of the bay in the morning.
Infrequently used, I fear
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 137 The Morecambe and Heysham yacht club racing office at Morecambe. I wonder how often it gets used.
Many monuments to man
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 113 The view out over the bay from the moors above Caton and Littledale. In the near distance, the salt-cruet shape of Ashton Memorial. Behind that, the twinned bulk of Heysham nuclear power station and, in the far, far distance (and not [...]
How to disturb the tourists
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 76 This statue stands at the Bolton-le-Sands end of the Morecambe sea front. It never fails to disturb me.
Holding back the tide
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 67 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 [...]
