Throwback Thursday… Roker Lighthouse, August 2021
Roker Lighthouse, August 2021
Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 135mm, 1/125s, f11, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Five years ago it was Roker Pier and Lighthouse, on a very blustery day!
The seabirds definitely add to the picture but a just a bit too far away for me, with my limited bird identification skills, to tell what they are.
Another pic of the pier and lighthouse, from the same day, can be found here.

Nikon F2S, NIKKOR S·C 50mm f/1.4, 1/250, f11 – Kodak Tri-X
Developed in Ilford Ilfotec DD-X at 1:4, 8 mins at 20°c.
An image from March this year… there’s something about somewhat run-down seaside resorts out of season that really appeals to me.
Digitised using Nikon D5600 & AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8, Nikon ES-2 Film Digitising Adapter and Negative Lab Pro plugin with minimal cropping and tweaking in Lightroom Classic CC.
Throwback Thursday… Morecambe Bay, July 2014

Nikon D600, AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR at 75mm, 1/500s, f8, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
12 years ago it was Morecambe Bay and the distant Heysham Nuclear Power Station.
The light was constantly changing thanks to a combination of clouds and a strong wind and had we not been on our way elsewhere I would’ve spent a lot more time here (although I can’t remember exactly where ‘here’ was!)

Fujifilm X-E1, Fujinon XF 18-55mm f2.8~4 R LM OIS at 50mm, 1/240s, f8, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
11 years ago it was this seaside scene in Sidmouth… my bird identification skills aren’t great but I believe this is a European herring gull (Larus argentatus).
Throwback Thursday… Turning of the Tide, Sidmouth
Turning of the Tide, Sidmouth
Nikon D600, NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 Ai-S, 10s, f8, ISO 100
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!
Monochrome Monday… Fishing Boats, Port Seton Harbour

Nikon F80, AF NIKKOR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6D at 35mm, 1/60s, f8 – Ilford HP5 Plus
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…

Canon EOS 30, Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM, 1/350s, f11 – Lomography Lady Grey
Developed in Ilford Ilfosol 3 at 1:9, 6½ mins at 20°c.
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.
