Rising River


Canon 5D, 17 mm, ISO 50, 6 sec @ f/22

I’m fortunate enough to live in a location that has lots of interesting old industrial features, one of which is the jetty and abandoned pier at Rock Ferry, on the River Mersey. The is sited next to the Tranmere Oil Terminal and there’s invariably something of interest going on, be it a tanker moored up or the tide coming or going. For a while I’ve been meaning to try some long exposures and finally got a chance to make a visit that coincided with the tide coming in.

The effect wasn’t quite as I intended but I think I might have to splash out on a Big Stopper from Lee Filters for that… Still it was a welcome early finish and a break from the office!
