Another shot from a recent trip to the east coast, this time of the wreck (or what remains of it) on Longniddry Beach.
Having now been to the location I will be better prepared the next time... I spent quite a bit of time waiting for the tide to go out far enough!
Nothing written on the slide mount other than "C&O, wreck". Do the math, I suppose! No photographer listed, JL Sessa collection.

This was a ship carrying asylum seekers in 2013. People searching for a safer and better life, for greener pastures. What did they go through to get to this ship, what did they go through on the journey across? What happened when they landed because it is not easy getting off that beach. It is sort of in the middle of nowhere so which direction did they go in this hard harsh environment.? Where are they now? Have they found greener pastures?

February 2021, Photo Tour to Kuusamo, Finland - image 22:
A day in a hide in Oulanka National Park (Finland) to photograph Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos). It is always a wonderful experience, but nerve wrecking... do they come... or not... guess we got lucky this time! Happy Days.

I've seen this book numerous times over the years and never bought it, but it seems lockdown was the perfect time to wreck this journal, a lot more fun than I expected!
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.
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.
One that I've been processing for a while now :) Quite often photographed shipwreck located between Arrecife and Costa Teguise in Lanzarote. Visited this place a few times during my little holliday until I've got what I wanted :) This was shot at a sunset during high tide and was a 180 second exposure. As always thank you all for looking and all the comments and constructive criticism are more than welcome as usual :)

Big storm on the Central Coast a few years ago. Two boats washed ashore that morning. One was smashed to smithereens under the pier. This one was about 200 ft west of the pier.
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.

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.
This was taken in Fleetwood in Lancashire on the River Wyre. Getting to it is a bit risky as you can end up sinking in the quicksand and the tide comes in really quick.
There's a good 6 or 7 ship wrecks down there so worth another look at some point.
A fellow flickr member contacted me with some info on this boat. It's name is "Our Joanne", and was abandoned in the 1970's. Thanks to John D Hare.
