This week, I have mainly been using circular polarising filters, fill flash and a bit of dodge and burn in post processing. Unnecessary use of HDR will return in due course.

This Tells you about Ramsgate Harbour in 4 languages English, French, German, Deutsche
The Clock House, currently occupied by the Maritime Museum, dates back to the early 19th Century and for nearly 200 years has maintained strong Maritime connections. Former occupants have included the Royal Navy, Trinity House and the General Steam Navigation Company. A Solar Meridian Line for calculating Ramsgate Mean Time (used for the correction of ships chronometers) was incorporated within the central tower (1819).
To your right can been seen the 233 ton Steam Tug 'Cervia', one of the last steam tugs to be built in Britain and one of the very few preserved. 'Cervia' is moored in the outer portion of John Smeaton's 1791Dry Dock. The Dock was in use for 80 years before falling into disrepair and was eventually converted into a store for Norwegian ice used by the large fishing fleet. In 1981 the Dock was uncovered and partial restoration carried out.

I think this is on the site of the old Ramsgate Beach Railway Station; just got a book about it, crazy place for a station. But right on the edge of the sea.
Taken laying down on the pier, another one of those shots where i keep getting funny looks from people just admiring the view.
I chose this angle, to simulate a working and busy marina, one that has history and advertising an area of Ramsgate that is very nice to look at.

The smack boys were apprenticed to the fishing smack skippers of Ramsgate (often the other 4 members of the crew besides the skipper himself were all smack boys), there were 50 registered smacks here in 1863, 168 in 1906. The home was the result of pressure put on the Board of Trade by Canon Brenan, Vicar of Christ Church, Ramsgate. No other British fishing port appears to have copied this unique facility.
