My first attempt at photographing South Stack lighthouse at night with a beautiful array of stars..
Still got lots to re-learn again but it was lovely to get out.

I've not been active for a few months because as most of you will be aware, I suffered a Stroke back in October.
However, I took this photo today, it was The Irish Mail train 46100 going to Holyhead.
To all of you, thank you for sticking around.

I made a short visit to look for night time photo opportunities before Wirral Borough Council remove the wrecks at Sheldrakes, but I don't think I'll be wasting my time going back...
It's a rather sorry sight, but I feel its the correct thing to do because of the small amount of lovely houses with amazing views across the River Dee estuary across to the Clwydian range being marred by this mess of abandoned rotten carcasses spread around the protected marshlands.
(There are dozens of them, some quite far out and unreachable on foot).

The Sir Nigel Gresley steam locomotive 60007 passing the Oakenholt level crossing this morning from Holyhead to Crewe/Cardiff.
I love monochrome and sepia photography which is in keeping with the original era when the loco was built way back in 1937.
Through the bridges at Fflint station sits the more modern Avanti service heading towards Holyhead.

Here's the general cargo ship Wagenborg Iepborg being loaded with aggregate from the Cemex quarry conveyor belt system which runs underneath the A*5 near Rainbow Bridge, between Llanddulas and Colwyn Bay.
I chose to use neutral density filters on these images to enable longer exposures.
The overall effect flattens the waves around the vessel, creates movement in the clouds, yet they leave any static objects such as the ship, the sea defences, and the seemingly fragile wooden structure which (I believe) was built in 1842 untouched.

The LifeBoat lady was on night turn last night, looking out for distress flares and the Northern Light's.
Unfortunately there was a lot of light pollution refracting through the mist so I'm not convinced the colours are a true aurora.

The Milky Way is a little difficult to spot in this picture but it's rising above the middle of the hall.
