Battersea Walk

After a visit to the Tate Britain Museum, we walked along to the Battersea Power Station now completed as a huge shopping centre. I had fun photographing the attractive yellow and orange barges with slow shutterspeed and multiple exposures. (All images are more or less straight from camera as I don't have editing software with me - looking forward to doing some adjustments when home!)

Docklands

A walk round Docklands area today with strong winds so it felt very cold despite the sunshine. I played around with multiexposures that included slow shutterspeeds - probably a good idea as it was difficult to hold the camera still.

 

Playing with Autumn Colours

I spent some of the day at Sandy playing with the autumn colours using double exposure, plus camera movement on one of the exposures, soft focus, blending images with different depths of field finishing with a couple of straight shots. The first image features a cameo from a misted-up notice board

Storm on Freshwater Bay, Isle of Wight

Friday was very windy with gusts up to 50mph and near horizontal rain - not pleasant for being out but well worth time spent in a shelter on Freshwater Bay photographing the spray and waves. These were taken with shutterspeeds  from1/3200th to 1/8th second, all handheld, some with deliberate camera movement added. 

Burnham-on -Sea

A few images from a visit to Burnham-on-Sea on my way to Bristol on a very sombre overcast day. Burnham-on-Sea is part of the second longest beach in Europe with the iconic low lighthouse,  the remaining active lighthouse of three Burnham lighthouses  Whilst Burnham has one of the longest expanses of sand, it has the shortest pier in Britain.
