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.

This one is from a while back during the mid-winter break, and made on the beach at Southsea.

Turns out on this trip to the seafront, I could only get one image I was happy with but again battery life was limiting me although I’ve recently fixed that by rescuing some elderly batteries.

A few photos from a few weeks ago … difficult to process so I’ve been lazy in keeping them back until now …

It has been a while since my urge to photograph random scenes, and the time available to do so actually met comfortably, but I managed a short session at the weekend wandering around Southsea. Nothing especially interesting – apart from anything else I’m obviously a bit rusty.

But to give this place something a little more interesting than just random noise :-
