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.

Better Than One

Better Than One by duncmc

Better Than One from duncmc via flickr.

A recently installed sculpture outside the new Logistics Institute at the University of Hull. The sculpture, entitled Moving Matter, was created by Joe Hillier and commisioned by the University to reflect the ambitions, vision and mission of the Institute. The two heads represent the interaction of minds and the human aspect of logistics.

Alternative title: Academia Nuts

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.

Across The River And Into The Trees

Across The River And Into The Trees by duncmc

Across The River And Into The Trees from duncmc via flickr.

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

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.

Tuesday last week brought more river fog, and this time I thought I would try up on the bridge as it looked a little dense at ground level. This is shot from the western walkway at the north tower, looking southwards. The top of the south tower is just visible above the fog.

Monday was one of those days. Sweet…

When sun rise and high tide coincide the Humber reveals its true beauty.

Grist To The Mill

Grist To The Mill by duncmc

Grist To The Mill from duncmc via flickr.

Perhaps my favourite of the shots I have taken of this derelict mill on the River Hull. The old British Extracting Co building has stood empty for some time and is an inviting prospect for urban explorers. I have often wondered what’s inside, and found an account from Lighting The Darkness cached in Google. The link to the original page was broken, and sadly the site seems to be defunct. I published the account under another photo I took which can be seen here on my Flickr photostream.

There’s that Maizecor building again. Getting rid of the telegraph wires was tricky.
