From the same shoot as 'Sun Dance'... sometimes, to get a good photo, you just have to a) wait. and b) sprawl on your front on damp sand and pebbles.

Shot from the moving train on my regular commute home (doing about 90mph)... very much pot luck whether something blurs past in the foreground and ruins the shot, even at 1/3000th. Contrast/curve adjustment in Lightroom.

On the beach near Thorness, if I remember correctly. It's a crop from a slightly bigger shot, once again using SF's loaner Sigma. For all it only works on a Canon DSLR wide open, it's a great fun lens to have on the camera.

Another moment of blind luck - I turned, saw this...
It's funny, though, the more I carry a camera around, the luckier I get.
Shot on the Isle of Wight in summer '06, on a deliberate walk down to the beach at sunset - deliberate in the sense of with the intent to take photos.
Trafalgar Square's pigeons. I was just lining up to take a shot of a pigeon sat on the fencing they're putting up for the Tour de France start on the 7th July, and someone walking behind me startled a whole bunch of them.
Needless to say, I ducked, so this is a complete fluke.

An experiment in low light photography. I have to say, the shutter speed was a lot faster than I expected at ISO 800.

The East Cowes clock, from Carisbrook Castle museum on the Isle of Wight. They appear not to allow photography, according to the notice, although there were no complaints about us using DSLR's with no flash. It's actually shot through glass, as you can probably tell from the slight halo of reflection top left.
