Fool's Gold - Continued.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Went back to the beach again but this time with my sister and her friend and I was armed with the big guns that is the Nikon D7000.

Fool's Gold

Ever since a well known artist/photographer revealed that he had buried £10,000 of gold pieces in Folkestone Harbour, suddenly the normally ignored part of the beach became swamped with would-be prospectors. It even was a nationwide media thing.

The Great Folkestone Gold Rush '14 has begun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That Sinking Feeling

Going . . . Going . . .

 

 

. . . gone. The Pilot's Watch tower at the harbour area, which can be seen from my hobby room, has finally succumbed to the demolishers. The second image is like a mortally wounded creature with it's face torn off.

Attack

An experimental set of photos taken at the Leas today. Two of those photos were taken on a wide angle lens with a ND1000 filter attached to it, thus producing up to 60 seconds long exposures even in broad daylight. That has the effect of blurring out people (note the ghostly bits) as well as picking out the flow of the clouds. The third photo used the dreaded HDR method.

My Tribute

To Robin Williams who had commited suicide today.

A second attempt at taking this image.

The Memorial Arch

 

 

 

Folkestone now has a new landmark. This is in memory of soldiers who passed through that location on the way to France in the Great War a hundred years ago.
  The top image is facing east (towards France) and the bottom one faces west.
