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.
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 [...]
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.
As the sun sets on industry
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 135 Taken at Glasson Dock, at the mouth of the Lune estuary (the opposite bank from Sunderland Point. These cranes just happened to be between me and the sun. I love the combination of the light, the sky, the silhouettes and the [...]
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 different perspective on a sunset
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 75 Snapped as the setting sun shone in through the bedroom window. Yes, I know I’m well behind on posting these. I’ll catch up soon.
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 [...]
Good Evening
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 63 Once again I’m cooped up in the house and struggling for inspiration. This isn’t anything special, just your average sunset shot, but it was a cool, peaceful evening and photographing it made me feel a little less narked about not having [...]
One Red Tree
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 54 Slightly delayed in uploading this one as first Flickr, then my web server, exploded in my face when I tried. Taken during yet another of our recent spectacular sunsets. I just happened to like the colour that the tree – normally [...]
Morecambe Bay is Burning
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 48 For the last couple of days we’ve had the most amazing russety-orange sunsets over our way. This was taken next to an old, ruined barn at Brow Top. I was actually wanting to photograph the barn, but I think it’d be [...]
Peace
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 46 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.
Another day, another sunset, ho hum
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 43 Taken outside the White Cross pub on the Lancaster canal. Yes, I’m well aware that I’m doing too many sunset shots (or at least that in this case I should’ve brought the tripod and tried to do some HDR work). I’m [...]
Symmetry
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 42 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, [...]
Blazing fire across the night
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 40 Another one of those nothing shots, purely opportunistic as I stepped out of the door to go to dinner with my father. I exposed for the contrails, which led the Nikon auto white balance and saturation algorithms to do something… interesting. [...]
Home Sweet Home
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 39 Actually, this isn’t near home. It’s taken on the moors above Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, where I grew up. Still, the point remains. I stood up here and took a deep breath and for the first time in a week didn’t smell the [...]
