Just driving though town, camera tentatively balanced on the dash!

This is the full view of Buckminster Water Tower.

It’s actually 4 photos stictched and blended to make a 41.8MP image.

Full size is 4398 x 9522, if printed at 300DPI would be 372.4 x 806.2mm.

A burnt out factory just down the road from my original Derelict Factory.

Just about all that is left of the Pump & Tap in Leicester, which has been demolished along with most of the bridge which housed the beer garden… The whole thing has been demolished to build a new leisure center for the DMU!

Me and Chris did a little bit of exploring along the underside of the railway bridge.

Some graffiti on one end of what was the Bowstring Bridge in Leicester.

Ok, so I couldn’t be bothered to go anywhere to take some photographs today, and decided to just see what I could snap around the house and garden. This is a view down the side of my garage…

I took a quick walk into town tonight and got some really interesting shots of our local church. I love the way the uplighters throw a bright glow to the top of the tower, and the way the strong lighting shows through the windows!

A view of a derelict factory in Leicester. It was really quite dark when I took this, so I had to underexpose it by 2EV and bump the ISO up to 1600 to get a half decent shutter speed… If I’d had my tripod with me, I could have done this shot much more justice!

I took this one on the way to work this morning, I really love taking photographs in the fog. Ramped the ISO up to 1600 to compensate for my incredibly shaky hands, and was very pleased with the results!

I found this house near Stapleford. Not quite as delapidated as the first one, but it looks pretty cool sat in the meddle of a wooded area all by itself!
