“Welcome”
One of the days we decided to visit Plymouth as it wasn’t that far away from our site, one of the first main things that you see as you drive into the city is this derelict Church situated inside the main roundabout.
The Church is called ‘Charles Church’ and there is a link to its profile on Wiki here. So once we had finished looking around the City I had the chance to take a few shots of it. So I went on a bit of a suicide mission dodging the high speed traffic that were hurtling around the roundabout and managed to get myself across the road and onto the island.
I decided to process this shot in black & white, as compared against the colour version it came out best. Personally like the how the perspective worked with the view of the rear wall/window frame being seen through the entrance door.

Classic Bentley
Over the weekend I took a trip over to the local prestige car showroom where they had the most wonderful selection of Rolls Royce and Bentley cars varying from early 1900s up to the present day.
I was very fortunate to be given full access to the ‘behind the scenes’ area like the paintshop and the workshop where I could just look around and take plenty of photographs.
I will be posting a few of them here over the next few days or so I hope you will look forward to seeing them.
Anyway I hope you enjoy this shot of this Bentley shot with a -2 / 0 / +2 exposure processed in photomatix and touched up in SilverEfex 2
On a different note I received a great gift yesterday from my partner which was the Canon 10-22mm UWA lens, I am really looking forward to shooting many photos with this one as things can now hopefully get a little more creative !!

Beneath the Pier
This is a shot taken beneath the pier in a place called Deal In Kent, I was lucky at the time of my visit that the tide was high and I could get a nice high shot from the stony beach front looking down through the pier supports.
I have used Silver Efex by Niksoft to process this image to add some extra contrast to show some added details with the waves of the sea.
I would like to return to the same location and this time do a long exposure and use some high key processing to give a really simplified image

Between Breaks
This shot is taken in a place called Whitstable, its in the Northeast part of Kent. Whitstable is famous for its oysters, which have been collected in the area since at least Roman times. The town itself dates back to before the writing of the Domesday Book. Whitstable’s distinctive character is popular with tourists, and its maritime heritage is celebrated with the annual oyster festival. Freshly caught shellfish are available throughout the year at several seafood restaurants and pubs in the town.
