Observation Deck from the Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills.
Mamiya 7. 80mm f4. Portra 160 film. Shot at f22 for roughly 60 seconds.
“Harbour Protection”
I came across this quaint little place while taking a break from searching for red deer on Exmoor so zoom lens off and wide angle on!
The sea was about to reach a very high tide at Porlock Weir.
The dramatic shoreline Groynes not only have a valuable purpose of holding back shingle and controlling sediment but are simply a wonderful wooden art form. The textured, weathered and huge slanted timber structures contrast perfectly with the smooth washed multi-toned pebbles.
Atlantic Rainbow - Pendeen Lighthouse...
After checking the weather and sea conditions I headed for the north westerly Cornish coast. I wanted the sun behind me for taking photographs of the sea.
My camera gear was set up for rainy conditions with a circular polariser filter fitted to the lens to protect it from the sea spray and to enhance any rainbows
Gear : Canon 7D mk1 with 24-70mm f/4 L lens
Once in a blue moon you get a shot like this. Well.....its acually a blend of two shots. The first one was a long exposure (6 seconds) to capture the lit whispy clouds around the moon, however, a lengthy exposure caused the moon to be way over exposed....it ended up looking more like the sun. The second shot was taken with a much fast shutter speed 1/320th sec. in order to capture the detail on the moon.
If I were doing this again, (and I might eventually) I would use an even faster shutter speed on the moon. I realized that using a 200mm lens mounted on a tripod pointed into the sky is a tad tricky to handle, and any slight vibration or movement will greatly decrease the sharpness of your shot. In addition, I had no idea the moon moved so quickly across the sky. I'd like to get the speed up to at least 1/500th of a sec. nex time.
As stated above, this was shot on a tripod with the trusty old Zoom-Nikkor 80~200mm f/4.5 at 200mm.
You've got to see this one Large.
Torrential Rain!
What an awesome shoot at Start Point. It was raining so hard that you could see the droplets hitting the sea from a distance.
This photo was just the start! What I saw next was so amazing I wrote about it when I arrived home!
Macro Mondays: Gift
Sometimes Santa takes very specific wishes straight to the elves at [insert name of your country's big camera store chain here] and they get right on it. So thank you, Santa and the fine elves at [Henry's]!

● JJC 40.5mm vented lens shade and soft shutter release
My 1959 Kodak Retina IIS Type 024
Manufactured in 1959 and 1960, the German-made Kodak Retina IIS is fairly uncommon among Retina collectors, due to its low production run. The little brother to the Retina III S, it features a Synchro Compur leaf shutter with a rangefinder and exposure meter coupled to a superb Schneider-Kreuznach Retina-Xenar 45mm f/2.8 lens.
I bought this one at the Toronto Camera Shows used camera market for $20 in March, 2019. Since then, I had a CLA done and added a JJC 40.5mm vented lens shade and soft shutter release.
And before people ask where I'm getting Kodachrome processed, that's a roll I bought to use as a prop after it was discontinued.
But now that the camera looks and operates like new, I plan to shoot some Ektar and TMax with it soon.
In the meantime, it'll join my Retina IIa, IIc, II S, III S and Reflex S in my collection.

那輕輕的顫動無法停下
必須消逝的日子
就算撥到下一格
昨日還是
如影隨形
一切如是存在
也許
也許這只是一個沉溺的姿勢
只求於虛惘中
發出沉默卻迴盪的聲響
you know it's all in vain, perhaps it's simply addiction
Last Night's sunset, spark free.

For 52 Weeks Theme: Composites
When I saw what this weeks theme was, I let out a sigh and a bit of a groan. My photoshop skills are quite minimal. I can do a few basic things (emphasis on basic), but I've never attempted anything like a composite photo. For the last 2 weeks, I've submitted a photo to the pool, but I chose the "theme is optional route" so this week I was determined to come up with SOMETHING for the chosen theme.
The main photo was taken with my iPhone as it's the only other camera I have since the Canon needed to be in this shot. The cat being in the photo was totally unintentional. She just walked right into the shot and I decided to go with it. That's me jumping. I took that shot with the Canon.
For me, this week was hard! On a positive note, I did learn some new photoshop skills though.
Thanks for viewing my photo!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.
2019 ... BRING IT ON !
Rock Stacks - L A D R A M
A spectacular 2018 sunrise and panoramic view like you’ve never seen before. I’ll be very surprised if you have seen a similar composition showing all these the rock stacks at Ladram Bay, Devon. I didn’t intend to shoot a pano but looking back at the photos I imagined I could join two of photographs in photoshop. This was the result after an hour or two of creative manual merging , eye strain and a few cups of tea. I was so pleased with the result and the fond memories of the whole morning.
An image from the Ladram shoot is featured in this years calendar 'WONDERS OF THE WEST COUNTRY 2019'

The Bowing Pine
The moody morning clouds blow open up as the sun rises high and starts to light up the valley. This beautiful leaning tree seems to bow down to the start of a another magical day on Dartmoor. Good Morning.
January 3, 2019-Quiet Contemplation. Throughout the holiday season, one of my favorite times are moments of quiet, solitude considering the year that has past and the new year to come. My life is always go go go with the many things on my plate, so quiet time to be thankful and reflect is always one of my favorite parts. With eye surgery again, I had over two weeks off and its been nice to slow down. I'm sure my photos will be a lot quicker when I get back to the grind on Saturday, but until then I'll spend some extra time.
This photo, I feel so rusty haha. I had to crop it closer than I wanted as the slider screen door was hideous lol
ODC The Holiday Feeling
After visiting "The Egg" several weeks ago, I decided that a return visit was needed at dusk (last time was night already).
Personally, I think this one is my favourite.
The Egg, is officially known as the National Centre for Performing Arts.
This image is NOT HDR, it is a long exposure taken with my trusty B+W 110 3.0 (10 Stop) filter.
Canon 40D | Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm | f13 | 202 Sec | ISO100
Little processing has been done, apart from a slight crop on the right, and some noise reduction in the sky. The colour comes from a combination of the dusky sky, and the slight colour cast given by the filter. It was a very windy day, and I was very happy with how the water smoothed out!
Colliford Coven 🔥
Witches gather around nature’s cauldron at sunset or so it seemed!
The very low water level revealed an uncanny circle of mysterious dead trees resembling some sort of haunting ceremony around a fiery pool. (or am I overreacting with all the medication haha )
This is not my usual clean shot but I had to post it to tell the story.
Please read on if you have a minute...it may make you smile.
Liz and I sat in the car sipping tea from enamel mugs under dark skies with the occasional downpour watching and waiting for a cloud break. I could see the dead trees I wanted to photograph by the lakeside and was always hopeful for a dramatic sunset.
What did baffle me was the same camper-vans and cars driving and stopping in all the parking areas around the lake, almost as though they were following a rota. I noticed they were all older men on their own! Rumour has it that Colliford has a reputation for this. Blimey!
A smartly dressed well groomed chap parked his camper next to me and saw I was setting up my camera. He approached me with his swept back bleached blond hair and shiny face to explain he was looking for a rare bird. Yikes! I was a little uncertain of his friendliness and bird story so didn’t respond so he soon gingerly returned to his ‘ride’. The strange mans behaviour was a little odd as he unfolded a large map that stretched across the full windscreen so he could hide behind it. Minutes later, off he went to the next parking area further along the lake. I was suspicious now because a middle aged guy in a Spyder sports car was acting the same way flitting around the lake and it seemed he was following the camper.
Minutes later, “Oh, here comes another map reading camper driver” who proceeded to slowly do a lap and off he went. “Had I given a secret signal by mistake”. I didn’t get my map out!
Anyway, back to photography, there was a gap in the sky on the horizon. Kitted out for bad weather we headed down through a field in the rain towards the lake.
Looking back I noticed the two campers were back but together this time. Funny that!
The water level looked so low and the lake revealed some great looking dead trees surrounding a pond. I carefully made my way down through the mud with the tripod. “Oh dear!” I shouted (or something similar) as my foot disappeared under the mud and over the top of my wellie. Liz took my tripod then tried to pull me out by my hand but I was much too heavy. There was no way of pulling my wellie out because my other foot was sinking too. I asked her to quickly gather some wooden branches and lay them down over the quick-mud so I had leverage to pull my sunken leg out. No chance! It was stuck-fast as continued to sink further into ‘Swampsville’. Both of us slightly panicking and my heart pumping from the exertion I decided to haul my foot out of the wellie. With both hands and one foot planted in the black smelly gunge I pulled myself free. My sodden mud laden sock flopped about on my foot and my expensive gloves were full of black gritty slime. Utilising the collected branches as a platform and using both hands I pulled and wriggled the wellie in the dense wet mud which luckily came out with a ‘pop’ and a splatter. Panting for breath I crawled to hard ground and stripped off all the gear that was caked in the black stench. In threw my sock and gloves in a pile feeling slightly angry but relieved. It looked like I was wearing a black ankle sock for a few days where the mud had stained my skin. Thank goodness for my SAS training. “Yeah right, more like Mr Bean”.
Never one for giving up on a photo shoot, I noticed the sun had dropped and burst through the clouds. I hadn’t even taken a photo yet after the great escape haha! After a few shots I started to find the whole scenario rather funny. It’s a good job I wasn’t on my own though because I’m sure I would of needed the fire brigade to pull me out. “Slightly embarrassing“.
Anyway, the light was fantastic and quite dramatic as it lit up the lake and cast tree shadows across mud. It looked like the trees were burnt out from a roaring lake fire. Happy now, I put the pile of stinky clothes into a polythene bag and squelched back to the car.
Many more camper-vans had turned up as it went dark and someone of them probably witnessed my trouser change to Liz’s amusement. “Nice bum” she said laughing. Grrrrr!
A “Stuck in the Mud” moment to add to the many escapades.
As for Colliford lake, the rumours may be truei!
