Shot from St Andrew’s Dockside looking across the old dock basin towards the derelict Lord Line building. The dock was closed in the mid 1970s, about ten years after this picture was taken.

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

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.

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.

An amazingly photogenic cluster of rotten timbers protruding from the Humber foreshore at Hessle Haven.

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!

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.

The Point Of No Return

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.
