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.
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. [...]
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.
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.
Drip
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 166 I’m usually pretty reticent about taking the camera out in the rain. I needed to get over that – it’s perfectly capable of surviving a bit of damp – so I shot some stuff on a rainy day. This was just [...]
Cliche and teabag
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 163 I’ve wanted to do a shot like this for a while. Unfortunately, this one is somewhat dull, composition-wise. Still, it’s a start, and I can always keep practising. Shame about the teabag, though.
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.
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, [...]
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.
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.
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 [...]
Babble
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 133 There’s not enough words to describe how beautiful I find the Yorkshire Dales (okay, I’m a Lancashire man, so that’s almost treason, but we’ll gloss over that). They’re so desolate and yet full of life, scruffy and yet elegant. Just when [...]
Rural idyll in the heart of a mill town
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 111 This is Tinker Brook as it runs through Foxhill Bank nature reserve in Oswaldtwistle. Once an area of hard concrete lodges, this is now just about the closest most Ossy people will get to nature without heading out of town and [...]
For this, they built a viaduct
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 110 The stream that runs under the Ribblehead Viaduct, a 24-arch span that crosses the Ribble Valley in North Yorkshire. This might actually be the Ribble itself, or it may be but a tributary, I don’t know. It’s a wonderfully calm and [...]
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.
Another Bloody Boat
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 91 Taken at Sunderland, near the mouth of the Lune estuary. I’m not really happy with any of the photos that I got in this shoot. I’m definitely going to go back and get more, because with the right conditions and the [...]
A representative of the week
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, Day 71 This has been pretty much the entire week. This was taken at my Dad’s house, looking out through one of the leaded windows and wishing I had a macro lens to better capture the refractions in the raindrops of the houses [...]
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 [...]
Les eaux de la Lune
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 26 Taken at Bull Beck, near Caton, on a bend in the Lune. I was stood at the water’s edge as I too this, having tromped through a field left insanely boggy by the floods of two weeks back. I’m starting to [...]
