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. <br />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.<br />I might be fairly useless with filters, but at least I'm not called a 'Nobby'. <br />Not often anyway.</p>Bay Photographichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13989112160700212804noreply@blogger.com0
