A B&W of the SS Nornen on Berrow Sands. I'm not sure this has worked as well as I hoped it might.

I visited this famous location for the first time on a quick jaunt to the west coast in February. What had started as a sunny day began to cloud over so there was a somewhat diffused, soft light over the scene. Ben Nevis was looking good under a dusting of snow. The tides had dumped lots of driftwood around the wreck.

Fleetwood Marsh Wrecks are some old Ship Wrecks left to rot on The Wyre Estuary, Fleetwood, Lancashire they have been left there since the 1970s. The fishermen were paid by the Government to decommission their boats, once done the boats were grounded on the mash and stripped. What is left are the rotting hulls of once proud fishing boats.

both photos of were took by me and blended in photoshop, the wreck is in plymouth which nick kindly showed me the other night

Amidst the fragments of what was once whole, a sense of being wrecked pervades the landscape of emotions. It's as if the world has tilted, leaving us unmoored and adrift amidst the debris of heartache and loss. The echoes of memories reverberate, haunting the spaces between shattered dreams. But within this wreckage lies the potential for renewal, a chance to rebuild amidst the ruins. Just as the phoenix rises from its ashes, the journey from being wrecked to finding strength is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a reminder that even in the midst of despair, there's a flicker of hope waiting to be ignited.

Wreck of the Norwegian barque SS Nornen. March 1897, the ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat the John Godfrey Morris, launched from Burnham, and landed safely at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board of rescues made by the three lifeboats at Burnham during the period from 1867 to 1930 and which today stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.

The same sad scene; not sure why the wreckage is still here.

The rather eerie remains of the trawler Epine, wrecked on Djupalonssandur beach, Snaefellsnes peninsula, Iceland in 1948. The remains of the trawler are still scattered across this beach over 70 years later.

I believe 14 men drowned and 5 were rescued (just had a quick check - there’s an interesting official report into the wrecking here, it’s the pdf at the bottom ):

Just as I was about to call it a day there was a dash of colour from the setting sun fading to my left, so I stayed and it paid off!

I'd love to know the history of this ol' wreck, presumably a fishing boat, once loved and cherished, now lying idol as a home for marine life.

Now known as The Corpach Wreck, the MV Dayspring ran aground near the Corpach Sea Lock in December 2011 after breaking her mooring during a storm. She triggered an air sea search in 2017 when her emergency beacon was triggered, even though she had lain on the beach for several years.

Homebush Bay wrecks, well 1 of them anyway. This is a reworking of an older pic, just wanted to give it the topaz treatment, see how it worked out. cheers

The Fleetwood Wrecks are a group of old boats abandoned on Fleetwood marshes, which are slowly rotting away. It is possible to walk up to them, but wellingtons are definitely required in the winter months when the ground can become extremely boggy. Care is also required at high tide as there are some deep channels on the marshes.

Yesterday morning as it was high tide at Fleetwood, I had a ride out to the fishing wrecks to see if I could capture anything.

A wreck resting on Truro River.

This morning was grey and overcast. The light was flat and uninspiring. I had to work much harder to take a decent photo, but the benefit of the overcast sky were that conditions were constant for hours - not just a fleeting moment as the sun came up.

I first stopped at Kennall Vale - but uninspired there, I didn't take a single photo. Next I visited a woods close to my home that I've never been to before (pic to follow!)

Then, I remembered noticing this characterful boat tied up on Truro River while driving for work last week - so that's where I headed!

I envisaged a minimal shot in high contrast Black & White. I tried a higher vantage point to angle the camera down at the boat to eliminate the messy river bank opposite - which didn't really work. This lower angle was more natural, but left me more to do in post editing!

A 10 stop neutral density filter allowed me to extend the exposure time to 90 seconds in order to smooth our the water for a minimal shot. I faded out the opposing bank in post to give the appearance of mist and further simplify the image.

I visited this wreck in Wrabness Essex 3 years ago and took a series of images i was very happy with at the time, they were very dark and moody with heavy overcast clouds. I vowed to return one day and try and capture a sunrise image that would do this scene justice. Well i'm so happy to have captured this amazing sunrise with the wreck looking glorious in the golden light. Sometimes all the cosmic tumblers fall into place for one precious moment of photographic joy. This is x5 shot HDR image @f11 with a 0.6 medium grad filter. This image will definitely be on next years calendar for sure.

Here's a colour version of my shot of the RMS Mulheim wreck posted a little while back! I'd be interested to hear which you prefer!

A LITTLE ABOUT THE MULHEIM WRECK...

German cargo ship, the RMS Mulheim, carrying scrap car plastic ran aground in March 2003. Investigations revealed that the chief officer on watch at the time had caught his trousers in the lever of his chair when trying to get up, causing him to fall and rendering him unconscious. By the time he regained consciousness, RMS Mülheim was bearing down on the shoreline. The six-man Polish crew were airlifted to safety by a search and rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose. On 7 October 2003, in heavy seas, the ship was broken into two pieces. On 31 October 2003, the swells pushed half of the wreck into a rocky inlet called Castle Zawn where it now rests.
