What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

12 years ago it was this seascape at Sidmouth in Devon, using (I think) an ND 3.0 (10-stop) filter to lengthen the exposure time.

Editing this pic in Lightroom reminded me (again) of how dirty the sensor on the D600 used to get… definitely the worst camera I’ve ever owned for that!

Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 9 mins at 20°c.

We spent a very enjoyable week in East Lothian in September, staying a two minute stroll from Port Seton Harbour. We had a wander down there every day, sometimes to beachcomb, sometimes for fish & chips…

I’m finally finding some enthusiasm for blogging again…

This image is from a trip to Fife back in March, I liked the juxtaposition of the crow steps on one building and the shadow cast by others.
