A shot taken at Cleethorpes on the pier there looking out into the Humber estuary. It was a bright sunny day but very cold with snow on the ground. I used an Olympus E-620 for this shot and deliberately aimed to get the railings in silhouette. The structure out in the sea is a movable drilling rig … Continue reading MMX: Rig →

These three trees have been featured several times in my pictures and have been taken at different times of the year. This shot was taken in March before their leaves returned and was taken with an Olympus E-620. I also used a 2 stop neutral density graduated filter to enhance the sky. What is really … Continue reading MMX: Three Trees →

Taken with an Olympus E-620 in Cleethorpes in January. This was part of a series taken for a Viewfinder Club assignment of the same title. The pools and rivulets left by the sea posed a problem as the sun was very low causing the whites to blow out. I like the sparse number of people … Continue reading MMX: Seaside in Winter →

Skegness beach in January is cold and inhospitable, but a fantastic place to take powerful images. This one was taken with an Olympus E-620 in the late morning. All around the beach was evidence that winter storms had battered that part of the coastline during the winter. This set of groynes had been demolished by … Continue reading MMX: Battered Defences →

Lincoln cathedral taken on a cold but very sunny winter's day with an Olympus E-410. The low sunlight accentuates all the grandness of the 271 feet high central tower. I deliberately kept the contrast high on this image in order to pick out all the detail on the building. A lot of this detail was … Continue reading MMX: Winter Tower →

Taken with an Olympus E-410 at 400 ISO in Lincoln cathedral. This was in one of the side chapels of the cathedral. It was very quiet and very peaceful with just that one ray of light from a high window breaking the gloom. The shadows were deepest in the corner by the pillar, but they … Continue reading MMX: Light and Shadow →

This image was again taken at Lincoln cathedral and again it was taken with the Olympus E-410. Walking around the cloisters I lost sight of my wife. I turned to take a photo of the opposite cloister and there was this person looking at me out of the darkness. It made me jump and it … Continue reading MMX: Watching →

Taken with an Olympus E-410 in the cloisters of Lincoln Cathedral. As might be expected there were a lot people around the cathedral, and it was difficult getting shots that didn't include brightly arrayed tourists. However, as I walked through the cloisters I turned to my right and saw this gentleman just standing there evidently … Continue reading MMX: Waiting →

Taken in Lincoln Cathedral with an Olympus E-410 at ISO 400. As I walked through the cathedral I was struck by the way the light fell on the altar which due to its stone gave it a different hue to the rest of the stonework. I love the way the carpet leads you up to … Continue reading MMX: Flowers and Altar →

Taken with an Olympus E-410. I was struck whilst sitting in a small café in Lincoln with the olde-world charm of it and the view outside. The two menus on the tables anchor the shot and the sides and top are framed by the curtains. The eye then drifts out of the window to the … Continue reading MMX: Three Menus →
