Morecambe Bay Nobbies


Morecambe Slipway, originally uploaded by Bay Photographic.

Nobbies are Morecambe Bay shrimp boats, some of which were built by Crossfields boatyard in Arnside. These two are moored off the Lifeboat slipway in Morecambe and I could have walked out to them if I had been wearing boots and if I had been able to overcome my natural reluctance to wander around the sands of Morecambe Bay at low tide. So instead I photographed them from afar and included the jetty, hopefully leading the eye towards them.
Earlier this afternoon I was at Glasson Dock trying out a graduated ND filter. I took a number of landscape format shots then some portrait formats. However, I forgot to turn the filter, so I now have a fine selection of photographs of Glasson Dock in which the left half of the shot is one stop under exposed.
I might be fairly useless with filters, but at least I'm not called a 'Nobby'.
Not often anyway.
