Flamin' Hell!

Finally, after much deliberation, I got around to "scratch an itch" as I had a go at wire-wool spinning and light photography. My sister and nephew Martin did all the running around while I stayed safely behind the camera. All nine shots were taken at East Cliff Sands on the evening of 29th March '12.

Hopper Trucks?

Had fun with a friend's rabbit and her son's toy truck today. UPDATE at 12th April: Just been informed by the owner of the two rabbits that the one in the second photo has just passed away. R.I.P. Apollo.

This Ol' Town

The oldest part of Folkestone taken on a fine sunny day.

Celestial Combination

Moon, Venus and Jupiter all in one shot, taken earlier on this evening.

Spring At Harbour

The settled spring-like weather and the soft hazy sunshine had enabled me to get this round of photos, all taken at Folkestone Harbour at mid-day today.

Folkestone Fog

Sea fog had lapped against the coastal fringes of Folkestone this morning. They were taken from the hills to the north of the town.

It is caused by mild and moist air going over the cold damp air sitting only a few meters above what is still a cold English Channel.

Equinox Sunset.

As seen from my west-facing hobby room window this evening at 6.30 pm.

At this time of the year, the sunset faces 100% dead onto the front of my house, from here on, the sun will set that little bit further towards the north west.

Local Football Match

Taken on a rather cold evening yesterday. My cousin played in a charity football match and I was roped in being the official photographer.

Bear in mind this was taken with a budget D3100 and basic zoom lens, so the image quality aren't up there with the "pros", but considering the lighting and what I had to work with, I think I have done an admirable job!

Keeping The Wheels Of Folkestone . . .

. . . well oiled.

A maintenance guy hard at work on the Folkestone Leas Lift. Actually, this photo was taken a couple of weeks ago, I had forgotten all about it until I looked at a memory card prior to formatting it.

Baby Bunnies

A friend's rabbit had recently given birth to eight baby bunnies.

You can tell it's nearly Easter!

Soft Light

Taken at The Bayle, Folkestone, earlier on today. While the weather turned out fine and sunny, but a misty-type haze produced that soft light effect.

The Night Sky. Again.

Jupiter & Venus combo, a crane and quite a lot of mist-induced light pollution. Taken from my hobby room earlier on this evening.

Towards The Evening Sky

The clearance of a rain belt coinciding with dusk time made for a half decent sunset this evening.
