Here's another shot from my recent wander around with Simon Jenkins: a shot of a rather obliging lady we met on Fleetwood beach.

The building on the right of this shot is the North Euston Hotel at Fleetwood, a building that looks very isolated when shot from this section of the beach.

I think the title for this one probably speaks for itself: another british summer.

And in case you're wondering about the post-production: I didn't do much to this one other than drop in a different sky. There was some detail in the original, but it was very flat and drab and didn't suit the lighting on the building.

This was taken while we were on our way to the north of Jura to photograph George Orwell's house and the Corryvreckan whirlpool. It was a bit of a struggle to get right – the boat was moving quite quickly making composition and focussing a bit of a struggle – but I'm pleased with how this one turned out. As you'll see, I had to be a bit creative with the Raymarine text – the composition was a bit tight – but as all my wider shots were a bit blurred I decided that this one provided the best starting point.

As always, let me know what you think.

This is a shot of NCI Rossal Point, the relatively new coast guard station near Fleetwood.

It's also the image I've posted as this week's Mini-PSD.

For most of the shots I take I think it would be fair to say that I'm borderline OCD when it comes to noise, camera shake, and so on, but for images like this I really don't care: a shot of Tabby, Tiggy and Harmony, just as they were waking up one morning back in January.

At some point I guess I'll either get fed up of photographing the old pier or St. Annes, or run out of ideas, but I hope it's not for a while: I love this structure :)
