HERE ARE THEM BIRDS IN 'COLOUR' STILL LOOK QUITE GREY TO ME.

this photo was (obviously) clarted around with creatively, a bit too much perhaps but when you can save multiple images why not?

this was a dull day to start with and I think a dull day is beyond my photographic capabilities; fog: yes, but that general even greyness makes it difficult to get anything to look interesting but then the sun began to shine through the cloud, and I caught it behind the angel at the Haymarket in Newcastle. its interesting, I've never really looked at the statue with much interest before today.

I've photographed Tynemouth a lot but this was a nice catch, I don't know what kind of birds they were but they make a good foreground or perhaps the Priory makes a good background. I was surprised thy didn't fly off as I crept closer, crows certainly don't seem to like having their picture taken but these didn't seem to mind

this

was a little while ago, its one of my favorite pictures so I don't know why it hasn't been uploaded till now. I love the aerial perspective, the tonal recession and the crows of course very good looking birds in my humble opinion.

had a good trip to Allenheads on wednesday, nice light, saw my first snow (only in shady hollows)

this is my car! it's a little bit knackered at the moment.

this was the morning I got my left leg stuck in 3 ft of freezing (but not frozen) mud, !!!! shoe came off and when I retrieved it it was a big cold lump of mud ,had to put it back on and wash my hand in freezing sea water. Still got a few nice shots before my battery conked out!

another moring but very wild and windy by the pier at Tynemouth.

a sea of burning gold! yes' I think you could say I am a morning person: mornings out and about in the pleasures of God's landscape; evenings sitting like a moron in front of the tv watching rubbish.

early one morning again!

getting up and out early has its rewards, this was a fantastic morning waiting for and catching the sunrise, If my memory serves me right a short while later the sun vanished in the thick stratus clouds and the day became very dull, but I SAW THE SUNRISE! This one was fiddled with a little to make it more dramatic.
this is about as bright as my camera can take.
