The fading remains of a fomer quayside or some similar mooring structure at Hessle Haven. The Humber Bridge stands aloof in the background.

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.

Losing The Light from duncmc via flickr.

An archive shot of the Humber Bridge from February this year. Again the high tide and stillness of the water made great conditions for photography. I have often been accused of adding the vertical light reflections artificially, but other than a white balance adjustment to remover the orange cast from the street lamps, and tweaking the contrast and saturation, this is as it came out of the camera.

It’s Been Forever Since from duncmc via flickr.

This one was taken in January this year – I stopped on the way to work one morning, arrested by the spectacular pink light cast onto the clouds from the rising sun. When I got down to the river I was thrilled to see the state of the water. The tide was high and the surface of the river was totally calm – my favourite conditions.

Another from the archives. This was taken in February this year and is another from my Humberscapes series. A night shot of the Humber Bridge, stretching out across the river looking south towards Lincolnshire. The shadows cast onto the water and the foreshore from the street lights on the bridge made for an interesting composition.

Following on from yesterday’s picture from Brough Haven, here is one from the archives taken from almost the same spot, albeit a different time of day, viewpoint and tide state.

This was shot early morning at high tide back in February, looking south-west towards Lincolnshire. The weather was very still and the river calm. This is another image from my Humberscapes collection.

A Moment To Reflect from duncmc via flickr.

I took this photo back in January. The setting sun had painted the sky with some very nice colours, which is what I was interested in when I took the shot. However the lone figure and the low view point gave the shot a certain mood which I thought was enhanced by the monotone treatment.

This image was featured in Vazaar’s “Solitude” theme and is another from my Humberscapes collection. (That’s the Humber Bridge in the background by the way.)

The Hunter from duncmc via flickr.

The majority of content on here will be photos (that’s my intention anyway). To get me off to a good start my first real post is my favourite image from those I took last year.

This long exposure of the Humber Bridge on a misty December night revealed constellations in the southern sky with amazing clarity. The stars were not visible to the naked eye at the time the picture was taken.

You can cleary see ORION The Hunter in the centre of the sky. If you visit this photo on flickr the other surrounding constellations are also identified.

This photo was featured in WeeklyShot’s “Night” theme, and also in Vazaar’s “Best of 2006” theme. It is one of the images in my Humberscapes collection.
