"Jetty in bad shape, do not enter"
Last shot of the day, light was already fading, so I managed to get a 30 sec. exposure without any ND filter. As the image was getting a bit flat, I added a split-tone effect to bring out some more contrast and detail. Still trying to get a hang of this whole Lightroom tool box! Constructive comments are always welcome.

Wanting to achieve photography as art, I thought I might try a photograph of Art. This image is of a sign in an alley in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Having made a specific trip to this unusual seaside pool, I judged my exposure at 70 seconds then watched as (much to my dismay) a small group of synchronised swimmers suddenly appeared and headed for the waters. Those lengthy seconds passed by, and reaffirmed how unpredictable long exposure photography is - much can happen in a relatively short period of time as any practitioner will testify. It certainly hadn't been my intent to include a human angle in the shot, and as a result I initially decided not to post the image here due to my lack of conviction about not only their presence, but the strange effect the water trails they'd left bore on the scene. The experience was also slightly sullied by my being asked to fill in a form by an attendant in case the swimmers were visible - as you can see they can all be readily identified here!
On a completely different note, today has been a good day photographically - which is perhaps odd as I didn't take any photographs. You see, this year I decided for the first time to enter LPOTY, and was really thrilled to receive an email earlier congratulating me on three of my submitted shots being shortlisted for the final judging. Having no experience of the competition previously, I'd be hugely interested to hear from any of you with prior dealings or knowledge of the proceedings. For example, does anyone know roughly how many images are submitted each year, or what percentage are shortlisted, etc? Hopefully you won't shatter my enjoyment by informing me that half of everything received makes it through, but I'd be grateful for any insight anyone can offer.
I genuinely (why is it that word tends to belie it's definition?) don't expect to get any further in the running despite my crossed fingers, but it's a useful learning curve and I'm already planning what I hope will be a much improved submission for next year.
Wish me luck!

More icy abstracts - this time from a frozen puddle at the side of the road (the raised 'lumps' are larger stones in the roadbed).
Taken on 5 April in Scotland - it's not normally this cold at this time of year!
One of the compensations of not being able to sleep: you get to see sunrises, night skies and in this case the moon shining through thin clouds (03:00 in the morning)

This is my final upload for 2012, and I'd like to extend a genuinely heartfelt thank you to everyone who has dropped by my photostream or contributed in any way over the past twelve months. Your kindness of spirit is a primary motivator in forcing me out of bed at indecent hours of the morning to shoot scenes like the one above, and were it not for you I seriously doubt I'd have shot half the images I've displayed this past year. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to view the work of my contacts, and even though I find it impossible to comment on each and every single one I try to view them all. Social networking demands a commitment which can be difficult to balance with day to day life, yet how enriching it's presence is for artists working within a visual medium!
So, what for 2013? I'm not one for resolutions and unlikely promises, I find most invariably fail - yet by the same count it helps our progression to have at least some vague goal or goals in mind. Mine this year is simple, I wish to be a better image maker than I am now. I'm not entirely sure (in truth I suppose I'm not at all sure) what that means, so I may or may not be setting myself up for a fall. I'm not actively planning to shoot colour, or deviate from my favoured square frame, or diversify into high octane sports capture or celebrity reportage. Sorry about that. As much as I value your continued support I shall be shooting just what I feel like, which is the only way I know how to make photographs. I have a great deal of self-doubt about my own imagery and the direction it takes, along with the blessed times when I look back and think, 'you know, some of it's actually not bad'... I can see gradual shifts and trends in my own work as I'm sure you can in yours, and right now I'm just going to let those continue organically and see where they go of their own accord. This means if my closing upload next year is a timelapse video of butterflies wheeling around a breezy summer meadow it will be just as much a suprise to me as you...
Happy New Year for 2013 - I wish all of you good health and good luck in all of your endeavours whatever they may be.
In closing, it was great to bump into contacts Paul Wheeler, Scott Howse and Brian Crompton while shooting an outrageously high spring tide at Weston-super-Mare recently with pal Keith Aggett. Pleasure chatting to all of you guys, and hopefully we'll get together again before too long!

The days are drawing out, so I stole a few minutes on the way home from work to take in another beautiful sunset at my local beauty spot.
