Black Mill on Beverley Westwood. The streaky patterns in the sky are what caught my attention here. Although quite a bit more subtle in real life, a bit of processing has brought them out. I quite like the watercolour-like effect they give.

The Humber from Brough Haven, just after tonight’s sunset. Now the evenings are drawing in it’s pretty easy to get these on the way home from work.

Blue Sea Spotted Off The North East Coast Of England from duncmc via flickr.

North Landing at Flamborough, East Yorkshire on the North East coast. About an hour before this was taken the sky was black and it was pouring with torrential rain. Here it looks uncharacteristically Meditteranean – British weather, eh?

Upturned fishing coble at the top of the hill, Flamborough North Landing, East Yorkshire. This type of boat has a distinctive shape – high bowed and flat bottomed. It is designed to be launched and landed on shallow sandy beaches in heavy seas, and is traditionally used along the North East coast from Hull up to the Scottish borders.

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.

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.
