Last night it was clear and there was no moon. I headed out with my telescope to see what I could see, and ended up photographing Messier 5, which is a globular cluster.

Another sunset at Troopers Hill
I spent most of the day around Glastonbury, photographing the Tor from various areas outside the city and exploring the former Glastonbury canal. I took four cameras with me; the digital one stayed in its bag and I shot lots of pictures with the three film-flavoured cameras. Unfortunately I didn’t finish any of the filmsContinue reading “Another sunset at Troopers Hill”

This new building is the tallest in the EU and has the highest viewing platform in the UK. We went up at about 3:30 and stayed untilContinue reading “The Shard”
Clifton Suspension Bridge at night
I happened to be in Clifton the other night, so I made a panorama of the bridge. It’s made of three frames, shot handheld.
