Here's one I haven't shared before from Glencoe. Flippin love that place. I could spend weeeeeks with my camerta just getting lost in the landscape.

Ten years ago today I was faffing around in the dead of night with a variety of torches at Swanland water tower doing these.
A single 4 minute exposure, no Photoshop at all, simply a photograph straight out of camera.
I need to faff more, I enjoyed making these!

I've seen this location a million times before on photography magazine covers, it's Buachaille Etive Mor near Glencoe. (No, I can't pronounce that, I had to look it up to spell it properly!)
I always imagined such a beautiful spot would take a couple of hours hike through remote midge-infested swamps to find it. Little did I know you can park within a stone's throw of it.
I mean, I'm grateful it was that easy to find, but it does kinda ruin the mystery for me a little!
Annyway, here's my rendition.
Olympus em5ii, Laowa 7.5mm lens at f/8, about 11 seconds exposure.

So of course I had to see the aurora. It did not disappoint!
This was at Pipe and Glass in South Dalton at around half eleven.
I was out and about until the wee hours but these were the first shots I took and the only ones I've had a chance to edit so far.
The universe played a blinder, thanks universe!

It's been a long time since I used my camera so I've dusted off this old page and decided to put a post up!
I was in Keswick, down on the lake late one evening, it was minus 5 degrees, so I only lasted about 3/4 of an hour altogether. Thought I'd do a timelapse as the skies were so beautifully clear and you can actually see the stars out there!
Shame it's not longer, but my feet were frozen and I had to break the ice to get my tripod out of the water when I'd finished!
I forget the actual settings, but it was around 150 x 10-15 second exposures.
Must get out more.
Enjoyed that.

(Please turn your phone to landscape, it looks way better!)

In 1839, Robert Cornelius sat for 15 minutes in front of a hand-built camera made of opera glass and sheets of copper - his picture became the first “selfie” ever taken.

I don't post on here very often as photography has taken somewhat of a back seat, but you'll usually catch me out mid August capturing the Perseid meteor shower. This year was no let down.
This was about twenty minutes of exposures. You probably won't be able to see them all due to the FB compression but there are 11 meteor trails in there, some more faint than others..

Back when I actually used my camera. Must dust it off again...

I failed to see one Perseid last week!

Remember that famous picture of a bunch of construction workers sitting on a girder way up in the sky and having lunch? Well, here's the photographer who took that picture: Charles C. Ebbets. My guess is that the C stand for cojones. 😮 Cool shoes, too!

Don't know why this photo captured my imagination so much.
It's really simple. A hundred year old bottle with it's massively thick base and the imperfections and air bubbles in the glass, sat on a fifty year old plank from a horse wagon with the concentric rings really prominent.

Maybe it's the warm tones of nature in comparison to the cold tones of mankinds production. Or maybe something about history. The passage of time and all that. The hands these items have passed through on their journeys. The things they've seen. The transient nature of life and the throw away culture we inhabit.

Oh yeh and the shameless cross-promotion of my other page Hand Dug History.
Probably that too.
OK mainly that.
