Went to a local model railway exhibition today.

Some More Night Time Fun

 

 

Had a proper go at doing a star trail. The weather was fine, calm and clear, I now fully understood the camera settings needed for the shot but this time I had to contend with a big bright full moon which almost drowned out the stars.
  I also had a go at taking a long exposure zoom.

Night Time Fun

Tried to have another go at bagging that money star trail shot, but a passing shower had scuppered things. So, instead I did some more normal night time photography.

Star Trek

Had a go at trying to pick out the Milky Way with my D7000 last night since skies were fine and clear - at least for a built up area.

Indoors Sunbathing

Jet making the most of the Autumn sunshine, even while in the comfort of my hobby room.

September Sunrise

Been a while since I had the sudden urge to get out of bed early hoping to capture a decent sunrise. While this one wasn't really the most fiery display when viewed from Folkestone Harbour, it did look nice in its own right.

Autumnal Mood

As summer draws close to an end and I get all melancholic.

A Night In Arm

Went to the newly restored harbour arm again today, but this time in the evening for some night time shots.

Black Cat Appreciation Day

Tried to celebrate this special day by doing another photo shoot with my Jet, but unfortunately he wasn't in the mood to be a compliant model. I think it was late and he wanted his sleep.

Mid-Summer Fireworks

A fireworks display occurred at the harbour this evening, but this time I was ready for it.

PS: I felt the last shot has some interest as I spotted a kid playing with a sparkler shortly before the fireworks were due to start.

Harbour Arm

Folkestone's Harbour Arm was reopened to the public for the first time in three years after repairs and restoration has been carried out on it, complete with shops and cafes set up on it. It is still incomplete but it hadn't deterred people turning up in their hundreds.

Tea Light

A friend made this tea light trinket for me.

Folkestone Charivari

The annual Charivari took place at Folkestone today, and thankfully the weather played ball with sunny and warm conditions.

Moody Sky

It has been a morning of convective stratocumulus infill here at Folkestone.

Dolphins In The Sky

Sound like a typical Tangerine Dream track. I was just gazing at the dusk sky here at Folkestone when I noticed this cloud ripple take on the shape of some kind of porpoise mammal type creatures. The formation stayed for long enough to fire up the camera and take a photo of it.
