A group of fishermen came along the beach before we were just about to leave Trinco Blue. I managed to grab a few shots before we had to pack and meet our driver.
A monochrome treatment of a shot of the bridge acrosss the Ryewater in Carton House on a perfectly still summer evening. Almost all of the bridge was in shadow at this stage as the sun was already very low, so the colour version was very disappointing, but there was enough texture to allow for a pleasing opinionated monochrome conversion.
Paddle steamers were a popular form of travel in the 1800s. In 1861 Bournemouth's first proper pier was built so that they could add the town to their itinerary. A modest jetty had opened in 1855 to allow passengers to embark and disembark smaller craft.
Steamers called to the pier infrequently to begin with, the first regular service was offered by the Heather Belle in the 1870s, operated by George Burt of Swanage.
Cosens were the biggest operators of paddle steamers in the area and some of the regular steamers to call in at Bournemouth were the Monarch, Balmoral and Queen, although there were many more.
Today the Waverley, operated by the Waverley Excursion Co, is the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world and operates trips around the coastline of Britain, which includes a trip from Bournemouth Pier.
Some steamers took trippers to Cherbourg and would race each other back.
The Bournemouth Queen was built in 1908.
Euston Rural Pastimes Event 2014
8th June 2014
Celebrating 23 Years!
A traditional, English Country Fair for all the family.
Has now been held every June for 23 years. It began as a fundraising show for our local Blackbourne Churches and St Nicholas' Hospice Care with the kind permission of our President The Duke of Grafton, who allowed the event to be held in the magnificent setting of Euston Park.
Together with John Farrow (the farm manager at that time) and Tim Fogden we set up a volunteer committee, which has continued to run this successful one day Show. We have raised over £450,000 for our causes over the years.
The programme has been broadly similar each year, but with increasing entries the demand for space has required more parking and display areas. A new entrance between the stationary engines and stalls, leads past the traction engines to the new Grafton Ring specifically for tractors.
The main Norfolk Ring has a constant programme of events, displays, demonstrations and parades. It is surrounded by band music, a busy tea tent and further stalls. Leading past the Craft Tent, the Suffolk Ring is home to a large display of Heavy Horses. Nearby is the start of the hugely popular Farm Rides. It has also been associated with a magnificent display of flowers in Euston Church.
There are several catering outlets, but the most popular are the excellent lunches served in the Hall kitchen.
Keeping very much to the same format we hope to continue to attract the numbers, which filled the car park completely last year.

This year featuring The Knights of the Damned jousting display team.
Performing in a fantastic, coloured costumed display of Medieval Jousting at its very best. Consisting of heroic mounted knights and their squires and enhanced by our own commentator the tournament begins with fanfares and introductions and ends with the dramatic thundering of hooves as the knights attempt to unhorse each other in the 'JOUST'. Watch as the knights hone their skills by striking the man-shaped target, the quintain, and attempt to spear peasants heads off the ground at speed. The show also boasts superbly choreographed foot fights with unmerciless swords, flaming fireballs on chains and unyielding quarterstaffs as well as the knights romantically accepting favours from the ladies and fighting for their honour.
Im in the middle of having a horrible night. After the gym i started to feel sick. I haven't been feeling that great for the past few days. I get stomach aches and headaches far to easy. I started to feel a headache coming on and was set to take some aspirin. I was hungry and i didn't want to take anything on an empty stomach so i went to a local burger place down the street. When i was eating i was thinking hmm maybe this isn't a good idea. Julia and I had plans to shoot an idea she had in mind. She wanted to look like a living doll and have the picture blown out to where she looked very pale. I thought this was alot different then how i normally shoot but alittle change is always good. While waiting for julia i could feel my headache getting worse and worse so i decided to lay down for awhile but not letting myself fall asleep. By the time she got here my head was throbbing so i popped another couple of aspirin. She got ready for the shoot and the aspirin had the reverse effect and now i had alot of stomach pain. After throwing up for what seemed like forever i set up my lights and got to work. I set my speedlights on manual and shot at full power so i could produce as might light as possible. I wanted to over expose as much as i could but still keep my highlights. The end result is this. I wish i didn't feel so sick i feel like i rushed julia and didn't give her my best effort. There is always be other days though and she was patient while i took breaks to try to feel better.
