Photo of the Day – 19 January 2017: Wind Turbines

Posted on 23rd January 2017 by Admin under Comment, Equipment, Location, Photograph

This is not the shot I envisaged I would obtain when I went to Reculver in Kent.  Landscape photography always has an element of fortune and this occasion was no different.  It was circumstances rather than my initial intentions which ended up dictating the eventual image.  This was my first visit there and I went […]

Photo of the Day – 2 January 2017: Nelson, Moon and Venus

Posted on 2nd January 2017 by Admin under Astrophotography, Comment, Location, Photograph

Date wise, this image is going to appear out of order on my blog, but I wanted to publish it on the day I took it.  Earlier this evening in the West End of London I saw Nelson’s Column below a waxing Moon and the planet Mars.  It made for a remarkable sight.  One of […]

Photo of the Day – 2 November 2016: Return to Portland Bill

Posted on 28th November 2016 by Admin under Location, Photograph

The shot below is what I had been hoping to get on my previous visit to Portland Bill a few days earlier.  A view along the rocky pensinsular illuminated by the setting sun.  On that first occasion I had been frustrated when the sun disappeared behind a bank of cloud on the horizon.  The compensation […]

Photo of the Day – 1 November 2016: Burton Bradstock Beach

Posted on 19th November 2016 by Admin under Comment, Location, Photograph

Taken during a walk along the beach at Burton Bradstock.  If the cliffs look familiar, it might be because they are one end of a sandstone formation which terminates at West Bay.  That is the port town in Dorset which was the main location for the filming of the Broadchurch TV series.  At West Bay, […]

Photo of the Day – 31 October 2016: Spices

The Dorchester Curiosity Centre, tucked out of the way on an industrial estate, is well named.  Essentially it is a large, very large, shed full of half forgotten items from the past.  The stock is always changing, so each time I go there it is different.  It is a fascinating place for anyone to visit […]

Photo of the Day – 30 October 2016: View from the Pulpit

Posted on 16th November 2016 by Admin under Location, Photograph, Software, Technique

  A trip to Portland Bill, which is situated at the tip of Dorset, for the sunset yielded mixed results.  After a dull start to the day, it had turned into a fine afternoon.  The sun was shining, but I could see a bank of cloud on the horizon towards which it was heading.  Something […]

Photo of the Day – 15 October 2016: Glen Etive Tree

Posted on 19th October 2016 by Admin under Location, Photograph

This is one of the last photos which I took on my recent trip to Scotland.  I briefly diverted from the route home to take the road down Glen Etive where I had been a couple of days earlier.  Conditions were not quite so good as on the previous occasion as it was raining and […]

Photo of the Day – 14 October 2016: Castle Stalker Sunset

Posted on 18th October 2016 by Admin under Location, Photograph, Technique

It has taken a while to select this image of Castle Stalker at sunset as my selection for the day simply due to lack of time.  I spent a week in Glen Coe and the surrounding area, posting images as I went.  Shooting over a nine day period, which included four days travelling to and […]

Photo of the Day – 13 October 2016: The Road to Loch Etive

Posted on 15th October 2016 by Admin under Comment, Location, Photograph

Glen Etive runs off Glen Coe and a single track road leads down to the head of Loch Etive, with a number of locations along the way which are worth exploring with a camera.  Shortly after joining the road, there is an attractive stand of silver birch trees.  This shot was the last I took […]

Photo of the Day – 12 October 2016: “Harry Potter” Train

Posted on 14th October 2016 by Admin under Location, Photograph

This was an opportunistic shot of a steam train crossing the viaduct at Glenfinnan, a location made famous in the Harry Potter films.  During the summer and autumn a regular steam hauled service, “The Jacobite”, runs between Fort William and Mallaig, with the viaduct being one of the journey’s highlights.  Its popularity owes much to […]
