Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavic at 244ft tall is the largest church in Iceland and one of the largest buildings in the entire country, even for a very laid back country it's quite amazing that it took a rather pedestrian 41 years to complete!
This was shot just prior to dawn, there was some great heavy cloud movement this morning so ideal for a long exposure, only needing to use the little stopper at this time of day to give well over a minute of exposure time, even at the widest end of my wide angle lens and from a low perspective was it possible to get the full height of the building in, it's that big. Soon after this the useful dark clouds emptied their wares and it didn't stop raining for a good while, this would turn out to be the only morning of the trip I was able to get this shot so well worth getting out of bed on that occasion. Gone for a square format in mono as I think it suits the subject well, colour wasn't really bringing anything to the table with this shot.

Yet another photo of the eight-mile caldera that is home to the Lagoa das Sete Cidades (= the green-blue twin lakes Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde), as seen from one of the rooms of the abandoned Monte Palace hotel near vista do Rei at the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores.

This building is right down the street from my place. I was walking by yesterday and the late afternoon light was hitting it pretty nicely, and there were some cumulous clouds moving through. So I rushed home to get the gear, and got this one exposure off before the conditions changed. This was a tough one, and it's always awkward lying on your back stretched out across a sidewalk. I'm fairly certain this is an example of art deco. I've always liked this building and recently the facade had a face lift.

Revamped shot from last year, I did upload earlier for a short time but deleted it soon after. Had a re-think and decided to post again.
Looking forward to getting out with Rob & Jake tomorrow.
Long exposures and sunsets can be quite hard to photograph. This occasion the sun wasn't that harsh so I decided to try something different.
I absolutely love the colors in the sky and the movement it is showing. The darkness in the sand and the resting point somehow call your attention. Hope you like it.

Too cloudy again for any sunset captures this evening so I have posted another taken yesterday at Sandy Point, Hayling Island, Hampshire.
Continuing with my experiments using a Lee Big Stopper 10 stop filter creating very long exposures for sunset photography this image was taken about 20 minutes before the sunset and shows the sun disappearing behind the clouds and the groyne disappearing in the sea!
I feel the long exposure has created interesting effects in the sky due to the cloud movement during the exposure together with some milky smooth water!
240 seconds exposure using Lee Big stopper 10 Stop ND filter + 0.9 ND grad filter over the sky.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
Bit bored tonight, just messing about with an old image - I'm looking for a simple image for the cover of a photo book that I'll be preparing (hopefully in time for christmas) as a gift for friends and family.
Another long exposure shot from Belmont reservoir on the West Lancashire Moors, abandoned bridge structure into the reservoir, with nowhere to walk anymore it seems to have been left as probably easier than dismantling it. An unusual feature in contrast to the barren moorland all around it.

This is my favorite building in my neighborhood and I think is the centerpiece of what is known as the Aberdeen Historic District of Boston. I have posted a couple different angles before, but I have always wanted to nail a front on facade, tried a couple times over the years. There were perfect clouds last weekend while a storm was clearing out, so I took advantage and went right to this building for unfinished business, and I figured the historic snow levels would help me get this facade without cars in the frame. There was a benefit from a huge snow bank that went well into the street, as I was able to set up on the bank and get an angle that normally I would have to set up well into the street for. It was really tough, I had to wait out a few delivery people that parked directly in front of the building and a couple people unloading groceries etc. Between that and waiting for the right clouds it took me well over an hour to get this image, luckily I got this single exposure with great clouds and no cars before the clouds disappeared.

Saw some nice light and clouds so I ventured down the street in my neighborhood. This is one of the taller art deco buildings and I found this to be the best angle possible with the conditions and lighting. I focused the composition around light, shadow, and the line of the building against the sky, so I used a frame with the perfect touch of cloud movement that didn't distract from the lines in the comp. Oh and it was well below freezing and I nearly lost my fingers waiting for the right clouds.

Met up with one of my lovely Flickr friend's Sue, (www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsuzy/)
We were hoping for a glorious colourful sunset!
As that didn't materialize we both tried a couple of long exposure shots.

This children's boat pond, located on the beach at Weston-Super-Mare in North Somerset, UK, has been used by model boating enthusiasts since the 1920s
Took an unplanned trip down to the Embankment last night as the sky was really bright from the full moon. It really could've been mistaken for blue hour. I arrived just in the nick of time as a party boat was just passing under Wilford bridge so I rushed to hit the shutter - looks like I timed it just right.

It's been a while since I got this angle, and I believe the last time I wasn't shooting this wide to get both the Hancock and Prudential towers. So here is a fresh take over a year later.

Taken durimg sunset I was a bit disappointed the beach was soft and not as well focused as I would of liked but I loved how the sky turned out through the long exposure so am posting it it anyway
I was down shooting some LE’s of the ocean from this sea cliff and I decided to get some looking up to the tree line because the clouds were cruising by nicely. Tried to do something different with the process.

Had to check this spot off the list, so I went back looking for better light on a cool morning. I was running behind so I missed some incredible late dawn color by the time I showed up, which was a huge bummer, but I observed that the cloud bank covering the horizon where the sun was going to rise was starting to clear. My hope was it was going clear and the thin atmospheric clouds were going to light up as the sun approached the horizon, and they did indeed. I ended up getting some nice color, and I had the benefit of brighter lighting, which gave me truer whites. I pushed this one out really far, which is where the cool morning comes into play.

this was our final stop of day 1 and it was definitely worth it even though it was freezing!

I had seen this building from the front on Beacon Street and thought it would be cool to try a shot there. The front resembles an English Tudor manor house with battlements, and is inspired by the next door neighbor Richmond Court. It was built in 1900 and was formerly the Brookline Motor Hotel. The clouds were looking good today so I cruised down to check it out, but the lighting wasn't great from the front, so I walked around the back hoping there was something to work with. It looked pretty cool and the light was great so I went with it, although a far different look.

I posted an exposure from this session in color a time back, and today I went back and chose a separate exposure that fit perfectly for black and white. That's the beautiful thing about daytime long exposures, if you take a handful of exposures, chances are there is a perfect frame for color and a perfect frame for black and white.

I took this shot from the balcony of our accommodation at Airlie Beach during a recent visit there. We were so fortunate to find this accommodation with this awesome view! The weather was forecast to be quite showery, and wet while we were there...and that's exactly the weather we got! But, with changing weather comes interesting conditions for photography, and I was not disappointed this particular morning! I saved the peak of the colour to use my panoramic film camera, but my remote cable release malfunctioned...and then I accidentally double exposed...and who knows how the film will turn out when I get it developed. But, anyway I'm happy with this shot taken with my digital camera!

This lighthouse, at the northeastern tip of Sao Miguel, was the first to be installed on the island in 1876. Upgraded and expanded over the years, the 15m-high octagonal cylindrical tower, standing 66m above sea level, is equipped with a 3rd order Fresnel lens, with a 45km range. There is a permanent exhibition about all lighthouses in the Azores inside the keeper's house. It was at this point that, on the 20th of October 1918, sailors of the Portuguese Navy found land after several days at sea in a lifeboat, after their warship, Augusto de Castilho, was sunk by a German submarine.

This was the first 'named' storm of the season 'Storm Agnes' we decided to head up to Whitehaven to see what we could capture...
About an hour before sunset, the weather had suggested very strong winds and rain and with that the possibility of some big waves over the harbour walls here.
As it transpired the waves just did not materialise at all but the sky was absolutely epic with thick black cloud rolling through the area just in front of what appreared to be blue skies and wispy sirrus clouds behind it, I'd never experienced a sky quite like that before.
The rain was quite relentless but the forecast suggested a break in it right around sunset so I just set up and covered the camera over to wait for a clear opportunity, thankfully we managed several shots while we were getting a good soaking.
I decided to keep this one really simple to show off the sky and the contrasting lighthouse below, if you can imagine the clouds moving extremely fast left to right here, changing every second it will give you an idea of the scene we were witnessing. You can see the clouds depositing heavy rain on the sea to the rear.

It seems a while since I've done any black & white work, and it wasn't the intention today, an impromptu trip to New Brighton to shoot the sunset didn't really get off the ground due the vast amount of cloud that seemingly appeared from nowhere (despite it being glorious all day) spoiled the show apart from one tiny area of colour in the distant horizon, that said the cloud covering was ideal for this sort of stuff and the low light worked well to give a nice long exposure.
I need to come over here more often, I think I'm put off as it's such a common place to shoot but in the right conditions it's possible to come away with something interesting & different each time if you have the patience.

Another Lighthouse, but the exact opposite side of the Country to the last image....
A trip to shoot Storm Agnes as she rolled into the UK, we headed up to Whitehaven arriving about an hour before sunset, the weather had suggested very strong winds and rain and with that the possibility of some big waves over the harbour walls here.
As it transpired the waves just did not materialise at all but the sky was absolutely epic with thick black cloud rolling through the area just in front of what appreared to be blue skies and wispy sirrus clouds behind it, I'd never experienced a sky quite like that before.
The rain was quite relentless but the forecast suggested a break in it right around sunset so I just set up and covered the camera over to wait for a clear opportunity, thankfully we managed several shots while we were getting a good soaking.
I've not posted this image before, this was one of the first shots I took that evening before the blackness truly rolled in but you can see it creeping in from the right, the high winds meant that I really didn't need a crazy shutter speed to scatter the clouds across the sky and the lower speed also allowed for more detail in the slower moving dark areas. I liked the contrast in this image of the 2 sides of the sky with some nice calming colour on the left and a sense of what was to take over from it on the right.
