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 [...]
Wasteland
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 199 At the foot of Heysham cliffs. This just seemed to work better in black and white.
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 [...]
Burn
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008. day 153 One of two things is happening here. Either the sun is setting or someone has nuked the Lake District. I think it’s the former, but I’m not wholly sure.
Macro sunset
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 149 An almost entirely accidental sunset shot taken on the north Morecambe shoreline. It was only as I was tweaking the levels on this that I noticed that the horizon is skewed. I like it that way. I’m well aware that: 1) [...]
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 [...]
High Water Car Park
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 106 Back at Sunderland point to try and capture this image. I still don’t think I’ve got it right, but this isn’t a terrible attempt. Maybe it would’ve worked better with a bit of flash.
Pools of fire
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 99 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 [...]
A Study of Morecambe Bay, Part III
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 96 The third part of my study of Morecambe bay. Back at Sunderland Point again, looking out into the Lune estuary.
A Study of Morecambe Bay, Part II
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 95 The second part of my small study of Morecambe bay. Taken from more-or-less the same place I took this photo, at more-or-less the same time of day.
A Study of Morecambe Bay, Part I
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three Hundred and Sixty-odd days of 2008, day 94 I decided to do a small study of Morecambe bay at low tide on different days. This was taken from the promenade near the north end of Morecambe.
Gateway to another realm
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 93 Yes, I’m nearly ten days behind with these. I shot a bunch of them in RAW and it’s taken me forever to convert them. Taken at St Patrick’s Chapel, Heysham Head. Note the brown sea. Gotta love Heysham.
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 [...]
