Yellow is the Colour

It seems almost overnight that our local views have become dominated by the yellow rape fields. Phone images only - must take a camera to record the fields on the next blue sky day; first five images from Sunday; last three today under grey skies.

Easter Sunday Sunrise

I went on an early walk from home to photograph the full moon setting but it was too misty to see it so I  concentrated on the sunrise, which proved to be a very colourful one!!  The dew on the wheat and flowers added another subject for the walk though meant I arrived back with very wet feet and trousers..

Boscombe Beach at Dusk

A beautiful evening for photography on my final evening in Dorset on Sunday - these are a timed set of images taken looking approximately west  towards the sunset (left image) and towards the east (right image) as darkness fell and a small crescent moon rose. In the last image the Needles lighthouse on the Isle of Wight can be seen on the righthand side.

Stormy Skies at Hengistbury Head

I am spending a few days in Dorset and, having travelled through snowstorms yesterday afteroon, decided a visit to Hengistbury Head might would give a good view of the sunset. In fact, the sun sets a bit too far over the land for good sky reflections but great views across to Bournmouth one way and to Isle of Wight the other.

 

Storm Franklin Winds

A very windy walk this  morning - not easy to show wind pictorially other than its effects on coastal waters. First attempt - hopefully not too many more occasions to perfect it!!

Wide-Angle View of Ely

We had a CCC meet up in Ely plus the added bonus of a Photohunt set by Barry and Sue. I used mostly a wide-angle attachment for my Fuji compact which focuses close though it does then distort at the edges. Here a selection of images - all single exposures except the very last image with is a multiexposure.
