An Afternoon At Welney

After a busy week at work, I have been able to catch up processing images from the previous weekend.  On the Sunday, I joined other CCC members at the WWT centre at Welney.  I spent a pleasant, but chilly afternoon in the hides.  There weren't many Whooper Swans in, but there was other other activity to keep us busy, most of which I wasn't quick enough  to capture.

 

 

London - A Walk Along The North Bank

Last Saturday, I headed into London for the day.  The weather forecast, windy with cloud breaking up throughout the afternoon, was promising for some good long exposure shots of the big buildings.  Sadly, thanks to a broken down train, my journey in took nearly 2 hours longer than it should have.  With a good portion of the day and most of the cloud gone, I abandoned plans to head into the City.  Instead I took a stroll along the north bank of the Thames from London Bridge to Waterloo.

It was low tide, and I managed to find a couple of spots on the shoreline for some 10-stop photos with the last of the decent cloud.  The backwashes of the many passing boats provided a challenge to getting really close to the water's edge.  After that, it was on to low-light shots. I couldn't resist including the 'Paul's Walk' sign in the shot of Sea Containers House and the Oxo Building.
