I Must Go Down To The Sea Again by duncmc

It was a cold and bleak on Hornsea beach when I took this back in December. It reminds me of this shot despite the differences.

All These Places Feel Like Home

All These Places Feel Like Home by duncmc

All These Places Feel Like Home from duncmc via flickr.

A well placed groyne provided a suitable camera platform for this half-a-second exposure on Hornsea beach. A polarising filter (the rim just visible at the corners of the frame) was all I had to slow down the shutter speed to achieve the blurry foam trails left behind by the receding wash. Shame about the horizon. Maybe I’ll have a tripod with me next time.

Out With The Old, In With The New by duncmc

Out With The Old, In With The New from duncmc via flickr.

We drove out to the coast yesterday. It was nice and bleak, just the thing to blow away a few Christmas cobwebs. This was taken on the beach at Withernsea, deserted but for a few fishermen and a pair of photographers.

I had a bit of space on Saturday morning and the sun was shining, so I went for a spin on the bike. Up Brantingham Dale and over the top, past this cluster of communications masts above South Cave, East Yorkshire.

River Wide, River Deep

River Wide, River Deep by duncmc

River Wide, River Deep from duncmc via flickr.

One from the archives, taken back in February last year. A combination of twilight, a still evening and high tide provided an excellent photo opportunity. This is a composite of two exposures, manually comped together in Photoshop to make a panoramic view of the Humber beneath the famous bridge.

The new(ish) ambulance station in Brough presents the casual photographer with an unexpected opportunity to experiment with the compositional value of painted road markings.

Although not necessarily in that order…

It’s been a while since I posted, which is very remiss of me. Just another Humber Bridge shot I’m afraid.

Note to self: Must blog more often!

Out Of Service

Out Of Service by duncmc

Out Of Service from duncmc via flickr.

The two lighthouses at Spurn – the “Low Light” to the left which is the older building, and the “High Light” to the right, up on the point itself. Both lighthouses are no longer in service, replaced by electronic navigation beacons.
