Wallington rail viaduct. Victorian, very long and built entirely of local red brick.
This is where the river flows in to Fareham Creek which becomes Portsmouth Harbour further south.

There is a previous shot in my photostream looking from the opposite angle, that version was a horizontal pan, and, since then, I've learned how to clean image sensors!

Project Flickr -Week 52- Showcase

My second favourite image from the year 'Not blending' self portrait, Project Flickr -week 10. Inspired by my number two son and his X-Box exploits with 'Assassins Creed'

I made this image in about ten minutes after coming in from work as I was in a hurry to go out again!

Nikon D300, Nikkor 50mm AF-D lens, f9, 1/250, ISO200, no filters, SB 600 speedlight @ 1/4 power.

I held a remote shutter release in my right hand and the SB600 in my left hand with a home made diffuser and the speedlight resting on my left hip. I got exactly the effect I was trying for.

There has to be an element of narcissism here, but this was really fun to do!

Well worth a look in Light Box and LARGE too, so press 'L' then 'F11' on your keyboard.
