Lake Pier, Hamworthy, Dorset.

Taken just after a sunset that didn't really happen. Again taken with a Canon 10-18 lens. I'm starting to get addicted to landscapes!!

Corfe Castle in Black & White.

I found this shot after my main shot when I returned to my car after the the big climb to the top of a hill which looks down on Corfe Castle. The camera was set to ISO100 and the lens was @ 10mm. It looked very ordinary until I converted it to black and white.

The Running Man & M42

Made from 22 x 45 second subs @ ISO1600 after months of cloudy nights I finally managed to get a reasonable image of these two amazing nebula. The camera is an unmodified Canon 40d so I'm quite pleased with the amount of colour in the image.

Corfe Castle sunrise


I've always wanted to photograph Corfe Castle and as I only live 30 minutes away i'm not sure why it took me so long. I used Google maps and the Photographers Ephemeris to plan the shoot and I arrived an hour early. I didn't realise how steep the climb was going to be so its always better to arrive early as rushing to set the camera up can lead to mistakes. The hill in the background is where I'm going to try a sunset image of the castle ruins.
