Prestolite. One of the few times I’ve had any success with a single image HDR. I still think it’s a bit overdone though, just haven’t got round to going back and toning it down.

#26 – Vapour
Two types of cloud, one made by man, and the other made by nature. Taken in January, looking down on Ramsbottoms last paper mill, and one of just a handful left in Lancashire. The local paper industry has been decimated in the last ten years, with many mills closing for good. Not sure how long this…
#25 – Luneside Landscape
The River Lune in Lancaster has not been used as a port for over a hundred years and much of the dockland area to the east of the West Coast Railway line over the river has been restored and regenerated, much of the area to the west is derelict. This is the site of the…
#23 – A ‘Get Carter’ Landscape
I’m a huge fan of the 60’s Michael Caine film ‘Get Carter’, particularly the cinematography and the bleak northern landscapes it portrayed. In particular, I have long been intrigued by the final scenes of the aerial ropeways taking coal to the staithes. This landscape has all but vanished, but I discovered that there was one…
#20 – Dial ‘M’ For Mining
One I took a while back but I still really like – Clipsone Colliery in Nottinghamshire. Despite being listed, these impressive artefacts of our industrial heritage are seemingly doomed due to a concerted campaign from a local councillor. Shame.
#16 – More Handheld Night Photography
It was almost dark when our ship left Barcelona, but being a large industrial port, it operates round the clock. This container ship was being unloaded, so I took the opportunity to get a shot. I wasn’t sure how well it would turn out as our ship was moving, so I just had to set the camera…
#13 – Kodak Ektar 100
I bought three rolls of this new film a few months back, and I started using my first roll at Parys Copper Mine, and then didn’t pick up my film camera again for 3 months to finish the roll! So, as I was keen to see how good it was, I cast good sense aside…
#12 – Super Wide Angle Fun :)
For several years, I used a Sigma 10-20mm lens on my Nikon D70. As this was a DX (crop format) camera, this gave a focal length of 15-30mm, and for urban exploration and landscape use, it was fantastic. However, I had to sell this when I upgraded to a full frame (FX) camera, as DX…
