Our rescue came home a year ago today. He's a crazy little thing

Givendale Church, in the Yorkshire Wolds. I lived a couple of miles from here as a teenager, and used to bike up here. It was a mean climb. Didn't appreciate it then. Took this on my HTC Desire in May 2011.

The same a year earlier. You can see the work was necessary.

The GP-9 locomotive that is permanent resident at Horseshoe Curve PA, during restoration and a new coat of paint. The grey primer made me think think of a glitch in reality where it was untextured.

OOCL Hamburg leaving Southampton, passing Town Quay. Heading back east to somewhere like Hong Kong or Shenzen, Via Rotterdam (usually)

The same bike at 20000 miles, on a full frame camera, wide at 20mm. Yes it's dirty, but it gets used every day and at the time lived outside. The exhaust is a bit antisocial but it weighs, like, nothing which is why I fitted it. It also required a new fuel map and more money fml

Sunset (at about 5pm😭) After my last commute home before putting the bike to bed for Winter. There was a nice sunset behind so I grabbed my camera an left the bike on for this photo.

My little Kawasaki on a trip out to the Kiski river (behind in this photo). It was July, and the last trip before an extensive service which took me forever to accomplish.

Ocean Village, Southampton, about 1030 pm on a Summer night. This a stacked exposure run through CS3's HDR tool to bring out a bit more range. I remember grabbing a pint at the bar behind me after this...

This is later, in the 'blue hour', the sun has gone down and there's not much light left. Luminance rendered this one a bit less naturally but it still captures the vibe I wanted.

Again the same spot, but I borrowed my dad's tripod and did some stacked exposures which I then ran through Luminance, a FOSS tone mapper to get a fuller dynamic range in the image. I like the effect and It still looks natural. This is sunset, hence the lighting on the mountain (Veleta is the name)

This was from the same spot, but back in November 2007, with a Canon 300D which was my first DSLR. The kit lens did really well on that camera.
