Winter Sunset at Selsey
Finally got my new filter and had chance to use it today went for a very long walk along the medmery beach at Selsey.
the filter adds 10 stops to the exposure so you can do very long exposures where otherwise the exposure is quick and freezes motion, this is especially good when water is involved, having said that …….
Its going to take a bit of getting used to as you can’t see through it and have to manually calculate how long to keep the shutter open for so here is the first big stopper picture and im hoping they only get better…….
Bosham Harbour Sunset
Today im going to contradict myself, while out walking yesterday, I decided that I don’t post nearly as many images as I should and mostly its because I’m too critical of my work and that I only want to show the good stuff, but maybe that’s not how it should be after all if I take a photo it must have been for a reason right? So I thought why not share some more…. and as and when I take a good shot every time I can start weeding out the rubbish afterall im not a professional photographer so im bound to take a few bad ones.
That said here is todays post taken a few weeks ago i just havent got round to it and it just so happens i think that this is one of my betters ones. Sunday evening after a long hot weekend I went down to Bosham harbour at high tide as the sun was setting I sat for about an hour and watch the sun disappear and then smiled as the sky turned a fabulous colour and here is the result…….
The panorama is made up of 5 images side by side and stitched together

Sunset at East head, West Wittering
Well i haven’t been out much with the camera in the last few weeks, despite wanting too. Every time there has been good weather or a nice sunset i have either had my girls with me or no camera, having a saturday free and knowing that i cant now get out for a week for sunsets i took a chance and headed out to east head at west wittering, always a popular spot for walkers and dogs and rightly so as it is very nice place to be particularly at dusk and sunset some breath-taking landscapes.
Here is one of my shots from the sunset…..

And Finally 1 last image
30 St Mary Axe, also known as the Gherkin and the Swiss Re Building, is a skyscraper in London’s main financial district, the City of London. It is 180 metres (591 ft) tall, with 40 floors. Its construction symbolised the start of a new high-rise construction boom in London.
This building is visible from most places in London, however the closer you get the harder is to photograph, this shot even on my 10-22mm Lens i still couldn’t get the whole thing in shooting on 10mm is about as wide as it goes but when close up has some distortion effects on the subject hence in this image “The Gerkin” looks more like and egg than a tall building.
This brings an end to a weeks for of Urban exploring or “Ubrbanexing / urb ex” or what ever you want to call it and I hope you have enjoyed this weeks images as much as I have

London Architecture Day 3
Welcome to day 3 of the photo blog for London Architecture todays post wasn’t on my original list of photos as i didnt quite capture the image i was looking for but after a trip to Legoland, Windsor, yesterday i have given it another chance.
The first image was one of the first buildings that I came across on our 12.63 mile trek (possibly more) around the big smoke.
The Next image is a close up of the same building containing a reflection of the Gerkin building, which when i was standing in front of the GLC was the thing that stood out the most and was what i was trying to capture the first time, i was shooting all day on a very wide-angle lens 10-22mm so close-ups weren’t really an option unless i wanted to spend half the day changing lenses to and fro.
The sheer size of this building (some may consider it a sculpture) and shape makes it very unique and recognisable, once you have seen it in the flesh so to speak you will know what it is if you ever see a picture of it and at Legoland i spotted it a mile off, sadly when ever you take a photograph at Legoland there will almost always be someone else in the photograph unless you go when the park is shut!
After all Lego is for architects in the making.
Enjoy

City of London Architecture Images
All this week I will be posting a selection of photographs taken on a day out to London which was the back up location in case of adverse weather this sunday which was due to be a 2nd trip to the sound mirrors at denge.
I have only ever been to London a few times in my life, once when i was too young to remember and more recently for events at Earls Court and Olympia and a few job interviews, so going on a sight-seeing trip was a first and an eye opener too.
The trip was intended to be for the purpose of Architectural shots of buildings, however i got a bit carried away and started photographing anything and everything some good some bad, slightly disappointed that both Tower Bridge and the Houses of parliament had more than a bit of scaffolding which wasn’t very photographic.
I really enjoyed the contrast of all the new square edged, sharp lined and modern curved buildings against the older buildings that are hundreds of years old, every where you look there is a modern glass building with a reflection of an older building in it giving that high contrast, what i was most surprised about is that I always thought that getting a tube around London was the best way to travel but most of London’s good sights are actually quiet close and very walkable, it would take longer to walk down into the tube station wait for the tube get of the other end and walk up again than it would to just walk from point to point.
On with today’s photo which is the 1st of 2 photos this week of this building and was taken opposite the Lloyds of London building in Lime street, as with most modern buildings in London, it was very anonymous so i cant say what building it actually is.
