CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

A couple of weeks ago I posted some pictures of some sea glass that we had picked up on some of our beach combing trips on the beaches near to our home in Dunbar.  There are plenty of other interesting things that we have found - shells, driftwood and some old iron items that have come from boats or from the many World War II installations that are on this coast. During the Second World War the threat of invasion was felt all around the UK, including the North Sea coast of Scotland.  With the naval base at Rosyth up the coast near Edinburgh, installations were built all along the East Lothian and Fife coasts, many of which are still visible today.   These macro photographs are of a piece of old iron that is probably the top of a metal post that was used to hold rolls of barbed wire.  It is corroded pretty badly but this makes it more interesting to photograph, which I did using the Fuji X-T1 and the XF60mm f2.4 macro.   Lighting was provided by the Niss...

I love walking on beaches and photographing items I find or just spending the time beachcombing.  I came across this rusty old post on a recent walk near Dunbar and thought it made an interesting subject to photograph after age and weather had produced some exciting shapes and colours. Today marks the start of the second half of the World Endurance Championship season and as this blog is being posted I will be on my way to Brazil for the next race in Sao Paulo.  I will be posting updates on the visit to Brazil in the next few days.
