Having spent my first full week working night shift I have had very little time to get out take some pictures and until I get used to working nights again it is unlikely that I will have much time for this. However, I am still going through my library, re-editiing old pictures and finding pictures that I have previosly disliked.
This picture is one that I concider to be one of my finist. Shot in 2019 on a visit to Teingmouth. I was going for a minimalist image of this marker and had tried a number of shots. But I settled on this long exposure because I loved the softness of everything.
Lizard Point is located at the southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula, and is the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain.

A portrait telephoto view of the landscape version below. Not sure which one I prefer, so I kept them both.

See www.karlwilliamsphotography.co.uk/tutorials for a tutorial on the use of the NDx1000 filter for long exposures.
Northernmost point in the Hawaiian Islands. No longer in use due to solar powered LED lights now, but incredibly beautiful. During the winter it is a great place to watch migrating whales.
Spent a week in Kauai, Hawaii, the Garden Isle. So lush with lots of rain and not so commercialized. First time to visit there. Will be posting a LOT of photos from our trip. Many just tourist type photos with my basic lens since we were spending time with family.
Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, California
Zabriskie Point is an elevated overlook of a colorful, undulating landscape of gullies and mud hills at the edge of the Black Mountains, just a few miles east of Death Valley - from the viewpoint, the flat salt plains on the valley floor are visible in the distance.
Only a very small chunk of what is probably the most beautiful and varied stretch of coast in California.

More than 6500 Trig Points, or Triangulation Points, were built across Britain between 1936 and 1962, as part of a big project to re-triangulate Britain. The last observation was made in 1962 from Thornley Gale, Cumbria.
This one is at the top of Arnside Knott. It's easy to see that it isn't used any more as trees obscuring the view had grown up around it. However, trig points are still marked on OS maps, and useful landmarks for walkers.
GPS has made these markers redundant for survey purposes.
a slightly different sunset view to the normal one on top of the cliffs but the best light was shining on to the cliffs so we made our way all the way down to the back of the lighthouse a new edit of a 2017 picture

Tacking Point Lighthouse is Australia's thirteenth oldest lighthouse.
It was built on a rocky headland about 8 kilometres south of Port Macquarie in 1879.
Just a short drive past the smelliest toilets in the entire Western world lies the fabulous Zabriskie Point, in Death Valley. Everyone else shoots this when there are deep shadows just after sunrise, or well before sunset, in order to show the play of light and contrast on these badlands. Instead, I present this fantastic landscape well after sunset, when the colours come alive to those who can see.
Dedicated to Patric Shaw.

This historic 19th century lighthouse sits on high bluffs so it doesn't need to be tall. It was built to aid navigation into the large bay and harbor just south of here. It's located in Point Fermin Park and lies on the north side of the bay that has the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach Port, the busiest port in the U.S.
Landguard Point in Suffolk, UK. Sometimes it's noticing the little things next to the very big things they pay dividends. This twisted rope caught my eye as i walked down to the wrecked rail jetty. I stopped and weighed up the situation and decided i would commit my blue hour time to this comp over the iconic and ever popular jetty comp. For me this simple comp works perfectly, the twisted weathered rope and beach faded posts works so well with the swelling sea and pretty scattered cloud sky.
Rhych point Porthcawl. I made the trip to have a look at Ogmore but when I visited in the afternoon the sun was in the wrong place so I went across ot Porthcawl to grab some lunch. While there this tower caught my eye.
This is taken with my new Voigtlander 20mm, so I've spent some time trying to decern some difference from my previous lens & therefore justify spending even more money on photography toys. I have to say I'm quite please with the sharpness of the lens.
In Northern California about an hour and a half from San Francisco, the Point Reyes Lighthouse is situated along the Pacific Ocean. The climb down is over 35 stories of steps to reach the structure and what goes down must come back up. My wife and I made the trek about a week ago. The views are absolutely stunning. We were able to see whales from the viewing area below. The California coastline never fails to impress with it's huge cliffs overlooking the vast blue sea.
The lighthouse was assigned to Point Reyes in 1855, but construction was delayed for fifteen years because of a dispute between the United States Lighthouse Board and the landowners over a fair price for the land. The lighthouse is a sixteen sided, 37-foot (11 m) tower, and a twin of Cape Mendocino Light. The first-order Fresnel lens was first lit on December 1, 1870. Electricity came to the lighthouse in 1938, and concrete steps were built into the cliff in 1939. The station was automated in 1975.
The lighthouse was used as a location for the 1980 John Carpenter film The Fog.
