"Ocean Seaweed on the beach". Camera: Nikon D5600📸. Next time your out and about at the beach, take a moment to look down. You can find some interesting bits of this and that alone the shoreline that can go unnoticed during the occasional oceanside stroll. 🙂 Cheers for now. https://alan.mason.pictorem.com

"Whispers In The Wind". Captured with a polarizing filter and extra added contrast to darken the clear blue sky and bring out the texture in the tree bark. Unfortunately, this interesting tree is no longer standing as it has fallen over due to strong winds from an Atlantic storm.

Hi Gang. There was a partial solar eclipse here on Wednesday Aug 12/26. Something I have never tried before so here are the results of my little photography experiment. WARNING! DO NOT look directly at the sun or try to photograph it without a proper filter! You could permanently damage your camera sensor or your eyes! Camera D5600, 150-600mm zoom with solar neutral density lens filter. Hard part was waiting for breaks in the cloudy skies. White dot is the sun, dark crest is the moon crossing in front of it.

Just one of those fab moments that come along in photography📷. Have a great day.🌞

Iain Macmillan's iconic Abbey Road images were taken 57 years ago today on August the 8th 1969.

Macmillan was a prolific photographer but is perhaps best known for his 1969 series of images of The Beatles - one of which became the cover to their Abbey Road album.

A beautiful illustration of the power of photography - a simple, but iconic, scene that has been shared, recreated, parodied and studied millions of times around the world.

There were claims that the actual crossing was moved a few metres further away from the junction thirty or so years ago, but these were firmly disproved by researchers.

Even today hordes of tourists risk life, limb and the wrath of Uber drivers to recreate their own version on the crossing - indeed I wrote this post at 05:45 UK time - and they were already at it 🤣 - you can view their frequent efforts via the Abbey Road we**am, and I'll add a link to that in the comments section.
