Some nice evening light at Morston taken recently. I would have liked to have taken a closer shot of the boat in the distance but the mud was very deep indeed.

I was out early the other day because there was a bit of mist swirling about. I tried to envision the best location to exploit but as usual my plans changed when I was confronted by reality so I decide to go for a walk and wouldn't you know it locations appeared out of the mist. I often find this that when you make a plan reality kicks in and you then have to follow the light and landscapes will reveal themselves to you. Have a great weekend my fellow light followers, I love to see your images.
London - A shot taken a couple of weeks back, very much on the default intinerary of many London photographers. I hadn't done any long exposure stuff since first toying with it Scotland last year and didn't have an LE filter for the new 24-70mm (since rectified) so took this with the wide angle to include the mudback. Unfortunately missed out on the dramatic light of a few minutes earlier courtesy of the super-efficient person at the cross-river ferry ticket office!
Thanks for your interest
It was a case of dawn to dusk photography with my mate Oscar Ip, I already started early by waking up at 5.00am to capture the Olympic Torch and Sir Bobby Charlton, then doing the rounds at Salford Quays and doing some long exposure work and then making a last minute.com decision to forget the England game and head towards Liverpool instead to go and do a sunset shot! So it was time to revisit New Brighton!

The stranded/abandoned Pt. Reyes boat on Tomales Bay is located behind the Inverness General Store. Unfortunately little is known about the stranded boat. However, when one visits Pt. Reyes the stranded boat is an irresistible photographers moment. Its calling forever draws me to continually photograph it with each visit.
The little winsome town of Inverness consists of a general store, post office, two restaurants, one gift shop, and a coffee shop. Tomales Bay runs Southeast along the line of the San Andreas fault. It is a long narrow inlet on the Pacific Ocean approximately 15 miles long and 1 mile wide. Visit the 1024 pixel view.
A view of the Humber Bridge in HDR. I spent so long down by the river in the afternoon on 16/01/2012 that the tide went out revealing this sunken concrete flood defence and also these amazing lines in the sand. For the middle of January it was a great day, the weather was calm and still, although frost was ever present in the shadows. This view is from the south side of the bridge from outside the Waters Edge Visitors Centre at Barton.

Ariramba- da-cauda-ruiva - Bico-de-agulha (Galbula ruficauda), Rufous-tailed Jacamar, fotografado no Parque Olhos D'água, em Brasília, Brasil. (Galbula ruficauda).
Família: Galbulidae Espécie: Galbula ruficauda
Comprimento: 22 cm; peso: 23 g. Presente da Amazônia até o Paraná. Encontrado também do México à Bolívia e Argentina. Comum em bordas de florestas úmidas (e no interior, próximo a clareiras, capoeiras, margens de rios e brejos) e em matas ralas e secas. Vive normalmente aos pares, pousado em arbustos, de onde voa para apanhar insetos, como borboletas e abelhas.
Faz ninho em buracos escavados em barrancos ou em cupinzeiros nas árvores. Põe de 2 a 4 ovos pontilhados de marrom. Conhecido também como beija-flor-grande, ariramba-da-mata-virgem, beija-flor-d´água, jacamarici, bico-de-sovela, sovelão (Minas Gerais), ariramba-de-rabo-vermelho e ariramba-de-cauda-ruiva.

Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Fotographed at Brasília's Olhos D'água Park (water's Eyeys Park), in Brasília, Brazil .
A novice may be forgiven for thinking, on first sight, that this bird was a Hummingbird. The shape, the needle-like bill and the iridescence cannot help but give that impression. But this a far larger species than any hummingbird. In overcast conditions it has a somewhat dull greenish colour on the upper parts, but in bright low-angle sunlight the bird seems to catch fire and all the colours of the rainbow, except blue, appear in a burst of splendour reminiscent of the queen of a Trinidad Carnival band. Go to Tobago and stop at the 23 1/2 mile post on the Windward Road and you are certain to see some of these birds flying in and out of their nest holes in the mudbank on the side of the road.

The Rufous-tailed Jacamar (Galbula ruficauda) is a near-passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World in southern Mexico, Central America and South America as far as southern Brazil and Ecuador.
The jacamars are elegant brightly coloured birds with long bills and tails, which feed on insects caught in the air, like bee-eaters. They distinguish between edible and unpalatable butterflies mainly according to body shape (Chai 1996). This species is a resident breeder in a range of dry or moist woodlands and scrub. The two to four rufous-spotted white eggs are laid in a burrow in a bank or termite mound.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar is typically 25 cm long with a 5 cm long black bill. The subspecies G. r. brevirostris has, as its name implies, a shorter bill. This bird is metallic green above, and the underparts are mainly orange, including the undertail, but there is a green breast band. Sexes differ in that the male has a white throat, and the female a buff throat; she also tends to be have paler underparts. The race G. r. pallens has a copper-coloured back in both sexes.
This insectivore hunts from a perch, sitting with its bill tilted up, then flying out to catch flying insects.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar's call is a sharp pee-op, and the song a high thin peeo-pee-peeo-pee-pe-pe, ending in a trill.
Mist starting to clear on the River Forth. Fife still shrouded in mist, the chimney at Longannet power station just becoming visible. The tide is out, so the reflections are on the mud banks. The little white dots are seagulls.
this photo's back after going in for a service, ie having the horizon straigt'nd,
with thanks to ray macbride and REBEL for bringing it to my attention

Restharrow.
Alison alerted me to the presence of a whimbrel on Gull island and amazingly it took to the air and after a brief stop on the small mudbank landed very close to the hide. It then wandered right in front of us!
Needless to say my best views/shots of a whimbrel.
There were loads of boats to photograph at Blakeney Quay but these two caught my eye in particular.

A novice may be forgiven for thinking, on first sight, that this bird was a Hummingbird. The shape, the needle-like bill and the iridescence cannot help but give that impression. But this a far larger species than any hummingbird. In overcast conditions it has a somewhat dull greenish colour on the upper parts, but in bright low-angle sunlight the bird seems to catch fire and all the colours of the rainbow, except blue, appear in a burst of splendour reminiscent of the queen of a Trinidad Carnival band. Go to Tobago and stop at the 23 1/2 mile post on the Windward Road and you are certain to see some of these birds flying in and out of their nest holes in the mudbank on the side of the road.

The Rufous-tailed Jacamar (Galbula ruficauda) is a near-passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World in southern Mexico, Central America and South America as far as southern Brazil and Ecuador.
The jacamars are elegant brightly coloured birds with long bills and tails, which feed on insects caught in the air, like bee-eaters. They distinguish between edible and unpalatable butterflies mainly according to body shape (Chai 1996). This species is a resident breeder in a range of dry or moist woodlands and scrub. The two to four rufous-spotted white eggs are laid in a burrow in a bank or termite mound.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar is typically 25 cm long with a 5 cm long black bill. The subspecies G. r. brevirostris has, as its name implies, a shorter bill. This bird is metallic green above, and the underparts are mainly orange, including the undertail, but there is a green breast band. Sexes differ in that the male has a white throat, and the female a buff throat; she also tends to be have paler underparts. The race G. r. pallens has a copper-coloured back in both sexes.
This insectivore hunts from a perch, sitting with its bill tilted up, then flying out to catch flying insects.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar's call is a sharp pee-op, and the song a high thin peeo-pee-peeo-pee-pe-pe, ending in a trill.

The small fishing port of Looe is on the south-east coast of Cornwall, where it sits either side of the Looe River. The river is actually split into two branches which meet just to the north of Looe Bridge. Both run through heavily wooded valleys. Trenant Wood is seen at the river's edge. This is the East Looe River whose sources are in the rolling hills just north-west of Liskeard, which lies around ten miles to the north. At low tide the river virtually empties out, leaving vast mudbanks with just a narrow winding stream. The mouth of the West Looe River can just been seen on the far left of the picture.
A simple shot of an old water pipe near a river mudbank. The trickling water forged a meandering path in the mud down to the waters edge.
Not an especially pretty scene in real life, but thought it might make an interesting image...

Eastham Ferry looking across the Mersey. The sky just before sundown was even making the mud look blue. I did brighten up a bit with Lightroom so the mudbank looks glacial.
Was hoping Easyjet would oblige by sending one of its orange birds out.
Thought of doing a tryptych with this.

Another in my series of views of the Sunset on January 1st 2006 as seen across high tide on the River Thames. The clouds cleared towards sunset to reveal the Sun; by positioning myself carefully outside one of the pubs on Hammersmith Mall I was able to catch this view of the Sun setting behind a prominent tree on the Barnes (Surrey) side of the river.
I like this photo because of the way the various clouds and their reflection form an approximate cross centred on the Sun.
Photos over the estuarial River Thames tend to depend a lot on the state of the tide; when it's high like this then you see these stunning reflections; at other times you get mudbanks, although at least one Flickr contributor has shown that these can be made photogenic if you try!
This was a pretty high tide, however it does sometimes rise higher. When this happens the towpath on the Surrey side floods, I have seen minor flooding in Hammersmith Mall; the Thames Barrier seems to prevent anything worse.
The area beyond the river is the St Pauls School grounds.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments, invites, and faves. I've run out of time tonight, but will respond to invites tomorrow. I'm glad you are so enthusiastic about these photos.

Ariramba- da-cauda-ruiva - Bico-de-agulha (Galbula ruficauda), Rufous-tailed Jacamar, fotografado no Parque Olhos D'água, em Brasília, Brasil. (Galbula ruficauda).
Família: Galbulidae Espécie: Galbula ruficauda
Comprimento: 22 cm; peso: 23 g. Presente da Amazônia até o Paraná. Encontrado também do México à Bolívia e Argentina. Comum em bordas de florestas úmidas (e no interior, próximo a clareiras, capoeiras, margens de rios e brejos) e em matas ralas e secas. Vive normalmente aos pares, pousado em arbustos, de onde voa para apanhar insetos, como borboletas e abelhas.
Faz ninho em buracos escavados em barrancos ou em cupinzeiros nas árvores. Põe de 2 a 4 ovos pontilhados de marrom. Conhecido também como beija-flor-grande, ariramba-da-mata-virgem, beija-flor-d´água, jacamarici, bico-de-sovela, sovelão (Minas Gerais), ariramba-de-rabo-vermelho e ariramba-de-cauda-ruiva.

Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Fotographed at Brasília's Olhos D'água Park (water's Eyeys Park), in Brasília, Brazil .
A novice may be forgiven for thinking, on first sight, that this bird was a Hummingbird. The shape, the needle-like bill and the iridescence cannot help but give that impression. But this a far larger species than any hummingbird. In overcast conditions it has a somewhat dull greenish colour on the upper parts, but in bright low-angle sunlight the bird seems to catch fire and all the colours of the rainbow, except blue, appear in a burst of splendour reminiscent of the queen of a Trinidad Carnival band. Go to Tobago and stop at the 23 1/2 mile post on the Windward Road and you are certain to see some of these birds flying in and out of their nest holes in the mudbank on the side of the road.

The Rufous-tailed Jacamar (Galbula ruficauda) is a near-passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World in southern Mexico, Central America and South America as far as southern Brazil and Ecuador.
The jacamars are elegant brightly coloured birds with long bills and tails, which feed on insects caught in the air, like bee-eaters. They distinguish between edible and unpalatable butterflies mainly according to body shape (Chai 1996). This species is a resident breeder in a range of dry or moist woodlands and scrub. The two to four rufous-spotted white eggs are laid in a burrow in a bank or termite mound.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar is typically 25 cm long with a 5 cm long black bill. The subspecies G. r. brevirostris has, as its name implies, a shorter bill. This bird is metallic green above, and the underparts are mainly orange, including the undertail, but there is a green breast band. Sexes differ in that the male has a white throat, and the female a buff throat; she also tends to be have paler underparts. The race G. r. pallens has a copper-coloured back in both sexes.
This insectivore hunts from a perch, sitting with its bill tilted up, then flying out to catch flying insects.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar's call is a sharp pee-op, and the song a high thin peeo-pee-peeo-pee-pe-pe, ending in a trill.
A garganta do macho é somente branca, a fêmea distingue-se pela garganta arruivada.

"Elm Bluff was a large plantation with about two hundred slaves. My great-uncle entertained many of his neighbors and friends there. As he had no wife, he used to bring down from the North a "lady housekeeper," so called, who presided and acted as hostess. In those days travel was almost entirely by river steamers, which had a habit of running on mudbanks and being delayed for a day or two at a time. Gentlemen from the plantations for many miles around used to ride to Elm Bluff and settle down with my great-uncle to stay as might be necessary, until their steamer came along and carried them on down to Mobile. In the big house at Elm Bluff there was a large library, and there, laid out on a long table, were American periodicals and many European ones. I like to know this and to realize that the people who lived in Alabama in those long-ago days were not cut off from the world."

This insectivore hunts from a perch, sitting with its bill tilted up, then flying out to catch flying insects.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar's call is a sharp pee-op, and the song a high thin peeo-pee-peeo-pee-pe-pe, ending in a trill.
A fêmea distingue-se pela garganta arruivada.

Rufous-tailed Jacamar, Fotographed at Brasília's Olhos D'água Park (water's Eyeys Park), in Brasília, Brazil .
A novice may be forgiven for thinking, on first sight, that this bird was a Hummingbird. The shape, the needle-like bill and the iridescence cannot help but give that impression. But this a far larger species than any hummingbird. In overcast conditions it has a somewhat dull greenish colour on the upper parts, but in bright low-angle sunlight the bird seems to catch fire and all the colours of the rainbow, except blue, appear in a burst of splendour reminiscent of the queen of a Trinidad Carnival band. Go to Tobago and stop at the 23 1/2 mile post on the Windward Road and you are certain to see some of these birds flying in and out of their nest holes in the mudbank on the side of the road.

The Rufous-tailed Jacamar (Galbula ruficauda) is a near-passerine bird which breeds in the tropical New World in southern Mexico, Central America and South America as far as southern Brazil and Ecuador.
The jacamars are elegant brightly coloured birds with long bills and tails, which feed on insects caught in the air, like bee-eaters. They distinguish between edible and unpalatable butterflies mainly according to body shape (Chai 1996). This species is a resident breeder in a range of dry or moist woodlands and scrub. The two to four rufous-spotted white eggs are laid in a burrow in a bank or termite mound.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar is typically 25 cm long with a 5 cm long black bill. The subspecies G. r. brevirostris has, as its name implies, a shorter bill. This bird is metallic green above, and the underparts are mainly orange, including the undertail, but there is a green breast band. Sexes differ in that the male has a white throat, and the female a buff throat; she also tends to be have paler underparts. The race G. r. pallens has a copper-coloured back in both sexes.
This insectivore hunts from a perch, sitting with its bill tilted up, then flying out to catch flying insects.
The Rufous-tailed Jacamar's call is a sharp pee-op, and the song a high thin peeo-pee-peeo-pee-pe-pe, ending in a trill.
