Day By Night

Went down to the beach this evening to capture the full bright moon in my own style.

Twilight Mission

I got out of bed at 2.00 am and was at the East Cliff at 2.30 am gazing at the stars with the camera hoping to capture the Perseids meteor shower. However, despite brilliant clear skies where I was able to see the Milky Way and that, it was NOT at all an easy task to try and catch at least one shooting star. Although I got to see loads with my own eyes, I just couldn't capture one with the camera (wrong place, not bright enough, etc).
  As soon as twilight appeared and frostbite was about to set in, I decided to do a bit of light painting using one of the Martello Towers - and that was when I just about caught that faint steak just above the top of the tower (to the left of that little cluster of stars).
  The second picture is where I've decided to make my own shooting stars and the third image is dawn hues as viewed from the old Folkestone Jetty.

Still, it was all a surreal experience in it's own right and my D7000 is great to work with when it comes to this kind of thing.

Space, The Final Frontier . . .

What with the ISS being very bright and the annual Perseids meteor shower at it's peak, there does seem to be a lot of celestial-related excitement going on at the moment.

The Boat Race

A boat race took place at the Harbour today.

Everything . . .

. . . are coming up roses.

Disused Huts.

Results of a long bike ride to Port Lympne zoo today.

Love Birds

It's being so nice weather wise even the local pigeons are all loved up.

A Day In The Life Of Me

Got bored of sunbathing so I decided to amuse myself with the camera today.

The first two photos are of the disused Folkestone Harbour railway station, the third photo is me messing around.

Folkestone Charivari

As it passed by my house earlier on this afternoon.

Seeing Double

Definition of Irony?

Spend 50p on this scope and you get to enjoy the view of the Channel. This was spotted at The Leas here at Folkestone.

Fireworks At The Leas

Went for a "on the spur" type photography mission this evening and got these shots.

Light Spirographs.

I did some more light spirograph stuff last night. It involved a small battery-powered blinking LED light hanging from the ceiling uing a length of cotton thread. I then let it swing around while the camera directly underneath took the long exposure photo of it (up to two minutes).
  The only thing I've done to this photo was to change the colour, just to add a bit more interest to it (the original light source was white).

Sitting On Loose Change

Retro Camera

Two cameras from my small camera collection. Top one is the ill-fated and infamous Kodak diskette camera and the bottom one is the more popular Polaroid - the ideal tool for taking photos of a . . . personal nature and sending them off to Readers Wives.

Mr Angry of Tunbridge Wells.

Gave the cat a comb through and thought I'd have some fun with the left over hair.

June Sunrise

Woke up at 4.45 am to answer the call of nature and the photo above is what I viewed through the bathroom window. Been a while since I saw one of those.

Backyard Narina

Passed through a graveyard while on a walkabout through the town. Actually, although these two photos has been taken from the same location, they were taken at different times of the day and using a different camera each.
