Some rather less usual landscape images :-

Blue Curves

Even something in colour! This is a detail on the pier.

Surf

Something a little more conventional (for me) :-

But perhaps should be called “Three Lines of Surf”.

Peeling Paint

Another detail from the pier.

Back to the same old place again … the big change this time was walking around the other way :-

#1: Downhill

Downhill

If you can’t tell, this is looking down one of the steeper parts of the path.

2: Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves

Yes, yes. Autumn leaves should be in colour. But in fact the lighting was sort of flat so it wouldn’t be that impressive in colour (either).

3: The Garden Shed

Garden Shed

I’m sure it’s not really a garden shed, but that building you can see in this image is not the real castle so it could be a garden shed. A big one.

Well, it turns out that I need a lot more practice at long exposure photography :-

The Beach

This is Southsea beach at around 5:30 in the morning. A 15 minute exposure …

  1. It may look dark but there’s still a lot of lights around – use a long lens.
  2. Go further along to find darker places.
  3. 15 minutes is just about the minimum exposure. No matter how frustrating (and cold) waiting for it is.

As some of you already know, the trip to Ilfracombe was a touch on the wet side so the number of photos to sort through was fewer than expected. However I think a small number turned out ok …

#1: Lundy

Lundy

That funny lump on the horizon is probably Lundy island – famous haunt of pirates and sea birds.

#2: Incoming Rain

Incoming Rain

There were quite a lot of opportunities to shoot photos like this, but perhaps you’ll see that inclement weather sometimes makes for better images.

#3: Dark Harbour

Dark Harbour

This is the closest I have of a photo of Ilfracombe itself. Not just in the ones I thought to put up online, but even amongst the raw images!

#4: The Gentle Coast
