    No riding here tomorrow, 50-56mph wind for about 12 hours.


    Pah, time to find some Strava segments heading in the right direction.

    Taken on a real camera, on the move, and I think the technical imperfection actually adds to the effect. Glad to have got a ride in before the afternoon bluster... hoping @masjer might risk his life with some wet & windy sea later... I see what you mean about the wind speeds!

    Oh, it was rough! I was beaten by the lack of light, and sea haze, but I think they capture the essence.
    Waves appeared to be travelling in slow mo.

    Thanks for risking your life for us. Yes, thought the light and rain might make it tricky. I've not ventured out since 3pm, it's been so foul.

    Anyway, I like the 2nd one particularly.

    👍 Took a few others. They maybe had more wave action and drama, but too much noise crept in. Too much, that I couldn't blame BR compression.

    I really like the side lit church one.

    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Isn't the third one a Tor-ist shot? :)
    That is a picturesque church.

    Everything's calmed down here and returned to normal. Yawn.

    Thanks PB. When I saw it in the distance, I ran to a vantage point before the light changed. It's Widecombe-in-the-Moor... it was about a mile away. The tower is ridiculously out of proportion to the rest of the church, and magnificent.

    Nice amphitheatre, too.

    More London awfulness. I don't know how I bear it.

    I do like an overgrown graveyard.

    That reminds me, one I took earlier with a thought in mind. Enjoy life!
    No matter how rich or how loved you are you will be forgotten 100 years after death.

    Don’t they say you die twice? Once when you die and the second time when nobody remembers you anymore.
    I reckon you’ll be still remembered on Hover-BikeRadar in 2122.

    Some cheesy fireworks shots. More taken to see what the new Pixel 7 can do.





    I struggled with fireworks photos until I discovered the 'fireworks' setting on my Sony. D'oh!

    I tend to batch process my photos when the weather is bad and it has come to my attention that I have been remiss in sharing for a long period of time, so...

    Had hoped to go to a local viewpoint and capture some but the weather was crap and I didn’t want to leave the dogs home alone with fireworks going off.

    I didn't think the weather was going to play ball at all today, so this was a bonus... a quick spin to beautiful Budleigh







    I actually did a little bit of cheeky photoshopping on one... can you guess which, and why?

    No2. Removed a container ship/ oil tanker, ruining the symmetry.

    I'm guessing #1 to get detail out of what could have been blocked shadow?

    It was actually no.3, as there were three people in the distance easily erased (plenty of small-scale texture to clone) who distracted from the wave. Pity I didn't get the sea level at the same time!

    The other two were just cropped to get the composition to my liking. I missed a better shot with the kite surfer when he got caught in a gnarly wave near the beach, but I was more interested in how he was getting out of it (basically by letting the kite lift him up out of it).

    Much harder when windsurfing! I got eaten by a wave in Ireland, I think, but still had my feet strapped to the board - ended up doing a cartwheel/pole vault as the tip of the mast dug in the sand and pinged me into the air. Annoyingly the photographer at the beach at the time didn't capture it.

    All washed up. I blame the people smugglers.
