Marina reflections on a still night

Conrail SD7 6998 pushes the Allentown Wreck Train to the scene of the crime on the former Lehigh & New England at Georgetown Road, Hecktown, Pennsylvania, USA, 29 September 1981.

The remains of the Steam Trawler Chancellor which ran aground on 17th January 1934 within Whitsand Bay, not the shot I was after due to the light and thick low cloud so I'm gonna have to go back!, also with the ever changing tides and movement of the sand you never know how much you're going to see of the Wrecks remains.

Week No. 36: Long exposure

Category: Technical

I do like a good long exposure, but trying to take them in the middle of the day is challenging. It would have been impossible without a 10 stop ND filter.

This is the wrecked remains of the sea defences on the Norfolk coast at Happisburgh.

Explored on 12/09/22 @ no 344.

Thanks for all the faves and comments.

Go see my Vero page for a few other shots from Happisburgh.

You can also head to my 52 week Instagram to see the alternative shots.

I post most frequently to my main Instagram and Vero so there are more photos there.

THANKS TO THE POWER OF INTROSPECTION

I just love this location for taking pictures. There are lots of wrecked boats

and ships laying on the mud waiting to be eaten by the water and time

I have seen and photographed many old boat wrecks along the shores of Ireland. They all have a lot of character and I am sure they all have interesting tales to tell.

Another sunset image from my recent few days holiday in Somerset.

This image is of the shipwreck of Norwegian barque SS Nornen which is located on Berrow beach near Burnham-on-sea.

I did not expect to see any colour from the sunset due to the heavy cloud cover but luckily there was a small clear area in the sky on the horizon which provided some colour to this dark dramatic image!

For those that are interested the SS Norman ran around in March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.

When the mists cleared on the morning of March 3, the crippled ship was spotted just off Gore Sands, her sails blown to rags by the gale. The Burnham lifeboat was launched with its crew of ten oarsmen battled through high seas and winds to the SS Nornen. Despite the gale, the lifeboat managed to get alongside the helpless ship, just as she was being driven onto the sands

.

The ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat and landed safely at Burnham at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board which stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.

If you fancy a visit to the wreck you need to make sure the tide is low and park at St Mary's Church at Berrow, just south of Brean, take the foot path to your left and walk across the golf course over the sand dunes on to the beach and the wreck will be seen in northerly direction on the beach.

0.8 seconds exposure using a Lee 0.6 ND grad filter.

Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.

Stronger than an auto rack filled with new GM products!

With the demise of the telegraph pole along railroads, this scene today would have played out much worse. The well planted pole and taught wire have kept the auto rack from rolling over on it's side and spilling it's cargo of GM's finest. This wreck occurred in February 1978 just south of the 6th Street crossing in Findlay, Ohio on Conrails Toledo Branch. Photo by Dale A. DeVene Jr.

and well off the beaten track...

McBrides Wrecking Yard (Graveyard)...

Another one of the abandoned fishing boats on the beach at Dungeness. This time, this one is gong nowhere.

The wreck near the entrance to the fisher fleet in King's Lynn.

This is the wreck of the fishing vessel Dayspring, lying in shallow water at Diabaig on the West Coast of Scotland.

When I first saw this boat many years ago it was a state, but reasonably intact. Over the years I have seen it crumble - a metaphor for many things perhaps...

I took this back in 2015, so it could well have broken up completely by now.

I originally posted this as a B&W, but was never entirely happy with it. I think I need a lesson from the Prince of Darkness himself!

Thanks to everyone who called by, in particular to those who faved and commented - much appreciated!

Fort Augustus, Loch Ness

Unbelievable, during my research about the plane wreck I found this. It makes me so sad: icelandmag.visir.is/article/myrdalssandur-sand-beach-famo...

When people say they are to going to get smashed, here is the wrecking crew.

The wreck at Saltwick Bay, North Yorkshire coast. The Admiral Van Tromp was a Scarborough trawler that ran aground on 30/09/1976.

The exact circumstance of the accident remain a mystery as the boat was on completely the wrong course and a senior nautical surveyor at the inquest stated it appeared it was driven onto the rocks deliberately.

Aurika, derelict pleasure craft left abandoned on the banks of the Pitt River.

She sat there alone and decaying for the best part of about two years.

Since this image was captured, a notice of removal was placed in the local papers.

Then as promised by the authorities, she vanished. Destination unknown.

* If you zoom in close enough you might notice a large fracture in her bow and continuing through to the bottom of the hull.

Thank-you all so much for visiting. Every visit, comment and fave is appreciated.

This wreck really need no introduction as its become one of the most photographed scenes in Scotland. It has also been a popular posting on flickr in recent weeks and have of late seen some lovely shots by other photographers such as Andy Rouse's, Katybun of Beverley and Images from Mark Waidson

Feeling some what out of my depth (mind the pun) with my interpretation of the image, I have been hesitant in posting my version of this fast becoming staple of photographers everywhere.

So, having sat on this image for a good couple of weeks the upload itch has gotten the better of me and here she is :)

I'm back after twenty days I spent in Scotland and England.

Here is a first picture of this trip that began with clouds and rain on the island of Skye

Ship Wrecked

It’s many years since I last shot this old shipwreck I’ve always looked for other compositions around the bay but it was nice yesterday to get reacquainted with an old friend. In the distance at the base of the cliffs you can see the start of the sea fret

Have a great weekend

Every togs favorite Scottish Wreck, the MV Dayspring, or as it's known locally, the Corpach Wreck, or the Old Boat of Caol, taken whilst up in the area last October.

We're back up that way in a few months and I intend to pay it another visit, this time though I've a few idea's for different compositions.

A wreck of an old fishing boat on the river Taw Estuary, Crow Point, North Devon a Unesco Biosphere Reserve.

Here is one of many small boats abandoned along the shore of the River Medway at Hoo, Kent. This is for my friend mickeydud who is helping me print some pictures for a project. He and I enjoyed a day out here with our local photography club and we were treated to some lovely skies. Thanks Mick.
