Evening At Harbour

Folkestone inner harbour on a calm May's evening.

Actually, I hurried down there after seeing reports on Facebook of bioluminsence (tiny light emitting sea algae) being spotted in that area, but I didn't see anything of the sort and I didn't want to go home empty handed with my camera.

Stanier Black 5

Finally ticked something off in my "bucket list", seeing an actual Stanier Black 5 (my favourite type of steam locomotive) in the flesh for the first time as she raced through Shakespeare Cliff at a fair ol' lick.
It was a challenge with my camera as light levels suddenly changed from brilliant sunshine to dark clouds in seconds.

Lighting Test.

Had a play about with a "left over" photo from that recent late night colourful photo session. Jet then sat on the stool wondering what I was doing and he just happened to be in the right "zone", I fiddled about with the photo and greyscaled it to see how the lighting looked like and thought it was rather cool.

Regeneration

 

 

Been a while since I had a late night photography brain fart. This photo was done in one take using my trusty Nikon D7000 and three off-flash guns with gel strips taped to them (green, blue and red). This is a single exposure shot done in darkness with just the flash guns around me and no additional photoshopping were carried out apart from a touch of polishing up in Lightroom.

PS: The second photo was Jet wondering what I was doing and stayed still for long enough to take the shot.
