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.

Taken at Brough Haven a month ago (film takes time a-cookin’).

An analogue take on this.

Brough Haven on a still evening. Looking south over the River Humber towards Lincolnshire.

Face To Face With A Ragged Truth from duncmc via flickr.

A shot across Brough Haven looking west into the distant storm. This was taken on the same occasion as my previous post, but looking in the opposite direction. The play of the light on the water was captivating, constantly shifting with the cloud formations.

Facing The Future from duncmc via flickr.

I generally try to avoid taking pictures with people in them, but on this occasion I think the figure adds something. I spent half an hour down at the river last Sunday, and the cloud formations were fantastic. I got a few decent pictures, some of which I will put up over the next few days, but this one jumped out as my favourite.

This was taken looking east along the Humber bank at Brough foreshore, East Yorkshire. There was a breeze blowing off the river. The post-processing included a tone-mapped (HDR) layer which I used to bring out the detail in the leaves and grasses, and the texture in the wall.

Low View Of A High Tide from duncmc via flickr.

Unusually high water down at the river – must have been a spring tide or something. A brisk breeze meant the river was quite choppy, resulting in mini-breakers on some of the more exposed areas of bank.

A longish exposure (3.2 seconds) on a gloomy evening just before dusk. Looking south over the Humber towards Lincolnshire from the footpath on the north bank at Brough. We made it back before the rain started properly.

Looking For Life from duncmc via flickr.

I’m drawn down to the river again by the setting sun, but with nothing particular to take a picture of. I took a few of the sun going down but this was the only one I took looking in the other direction, and it turned out the best. Once again I used a tonemapped HDR layer to pull out detail in the mud and the rocks.

Chimneys #3 from duncmc via flickr.

The third and final image in the series. This one I like for the shapes, and is probably my favourite of the three.

Chimneys #2 from duncmc via flickr.

The second in the series. I like this one for the tonality in the image.
