No Parking

Bay Walk
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 341 One of the piers of San Francisco. To the right, through the mist, you can see Treasure Island and the Bay Bridge.
A snow-capped land
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 340 The Lake District (which bits thereof I’m not sure) taken from the window of Virgin Atlantic flight VS019 on its way to San Francisco.
(Almost) Endless
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 318 At the office complex where I was working during my week in MA, there was this immensely long corridor. I had to wait a while for it to be empty, mind you.
Cold steel and glass
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 298 Buildings around Canada square in London. I took this shot because I liked the feeling of confusion that all the more-or-less identical grids of steel and glass gave; like being lost in a forest of giant, soulless, man-made trees.
Blue Kingdom
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 294 1 Kingdom Street, Paddington Central, London. I had a few minutes to shoot before the start of caffeine. That’s probably why I left my camera in portrait mode (and the wrong ISO, incidentally) rather than in the vivid saturation mode I [...]
Arch of stone
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 271 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) [...]
Will You? (Part II)
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 240 This is the spot (within a few feet), where I asked my fianceé to marry me, on the shale beach at Luss, on the shore of Loch Lomond. Someone had stuck these two chairs at the water’s edge for reasons unknown. [...]
Gilded with light
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 211 The main hall of Norwich Cathedral, taken from near the altar. I was amazed that this came out as sharp as it did, considering it was hand held at 1/9 seconds, ISO 200 (my mistake). It’s shots like these that make [...]
Corners
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 208 I’m not dead. This is Norwich Cathedral, taken on a shockingly sunny Sunday with my new Nikon D300 (woot). And yes, I will fill in all of days 190-207, once I have the time.
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.
Peace
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 187 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.
Permissive
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 183 On banks of the river Bure. This would have worked better had I adhered to the rule of thirds and not had the horizon smack in the centre of the picture. This image, unless I’m mistaken, represents the halfway point of [...]
And a star to steer her by
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 167 Taken at Glasson marina.
Homely
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 164 I think that the people who built this house did it in such a way as to make it deliberately idyllic, a bit like the way Stonehenge is oriented so that the sun rises over the heelstone on the summer solstice.
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 [...]
Silent stream
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 161 A stream in the Forest of Bowland. This didn’t look right for me until I accidentally recoloured it. I think it’s probably over-processed, actually.
With the whole world in front of her
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 160 This didn’t come out quite the way I wanted, but I still think it’s beautiful.
Mirror, mirror
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 159 Couldn’t get this quite right, really. I was at the wrong angle and the building on the right intrudes a bit, but it’s a good reflection all the same. Also, the sun blew the sky a bit and caused some banding, [...]
Still trailing
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 152 The reverse of this shot/. This was the shot I actually wanted to get of the trailer, but when I took the original the sun was in almost exactly the wrong place and blew out the sky. I took this a [...]
Trailing
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 150 A trailer that someone abandoned near my home. Edited to remove some powerlines (hurrah for the Gimp’s healing algorithm, which helped to cover my sins). Also, the title is an apt description of how I’m doing with this project yet again. [...]
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) [...]
Travel
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 148 Taken from a level crossing near Silverdale. I did a black and white version of this but it just didn’t work as well as I would’ve liked. For some reason I like the slightly uncomfortable feeling that the colouring on this [...]
