Urban Lines
Some rather dated looking steps in Bristol, I quite liked the lines, lighting and layout - seems to have come out quite well via a mono-conversion in Lightroom.

West Country
My enjoyment of 'seascape' photography is pretty much offset by my dislike of long car journeys. A glance at Google Maps pointed in the direction of the West Country, specifically Clevedon which has a pier (and unlike Weston, a beach which doesn't have a shore line 2 miles out....).
View of the pier at Clevedon via my EF 135 f/2L - timed perfectly to include the background vessel.
Long exposure from the same location, this time at 24mm. I could only manage 20 seconds due to the brightness on the day, but good to see some cloud movement.
My unofficial project for the day was to try and get a photo of a robin, a bird that holds sentimental significance to my girlfriend. Luckily we bumped in to a few at Cabot Park in Bristol that were more than a little happy to pose. I learnt a thing or two about bird photography, a smaller aperture being the main one. Not massively enthused by my results here, so this is still unfinished business....

Dorset Coast
Been a while since I posted anything, it's also been a while since I used my camera!
We took a trip to West Lulworth at the weekend to get some sea air, a bit of exercise (the terrain is rather steep!) and in my case to try and get some nice shots.
Our last visit was pretty much the deciding factor in me wanting an ND filter to try some long exposures. It had been really sunny, the sea was slow blue and against all the white cliffs and rocks we felt like we could have been in a Caribbean. Seeing as it is March, I wasn't expecting such colours and warmth - but we weren't disappointed.
All of these are at around 30s exposure - the sea was bluer than is represented here too. It really is a lovely spot, you just need to walk a bit away from where all the tourists go (Lulworth Cove).
