Yes sir, it’s heavy metal time again. I love rust and big old metal things. This was made of the track part of an old crane in a shipyard in a harbor in Cornwall, UK. I opted for BW jus because it looks nice this way.
Heavy Metal Again

Just Having Some Fun
I love animals. They have not a care in the world. They are here to share their love with us and to show us how to have fun. This photo should say it all. There is one way to live and that is full steam ahead. I shot a ton of images of these two dogs playing. Just like I shot a ton of the Arctic foxes playing this past summer in Svalbard. No matter where you go you will see animals having a good time. I guess I’ll have to pick up a stick and run a little and see who wants to chase me.
Abstract Fun
My friend Art Wolfe is one of the most respected photographers out there. I have enjoyed shooting with him in various locations around the world. One of the things that always amazes me is how he sees. He can see the big picture that may be mundane and nothing and see the smaller masterpiece in it. This image is like that. On the rear of a large and old crane in a shipyard was the deeply embossed letters and name of the maker of the crane. This shot it just a portion of that. Yet, if you didn’t know what it was you maybe would not be able to figure out what you were looking at. I challenge myself where ever I am to not only see the big picture, but also to look for the small picture too. Thanks Art!
Getting Ready To Fish
This is another from the Cornwall, UK series. This was a major fishing harbor and the boats would come in and off load and prepare to go back out. The light and color was perfect. I liked the chains, the netting and the way the guys were working.
Sitting By The Dock Of The Bay
I still have a lot of nice images to share from my week in Cornwall, UK. Today’s image was made in Charleston Harbour in Cornwall. I made it with the Olympus OMD E-M1. I used art mode for BW that allowed me to shoot RAW as well as have a JPEG in BW as shown. This makes using the camera a lot of fun. I saw these guys sitting on the bench and just had to make a photo of them. Black and White makes the image really nice.
Castle Walk
While in Cornwall, UK last week I saw many cool sites as well as many castles. This castle is St. Michael’s Mount in the village of Marazion. At low tide you can walk and drive out the island. At hight tide you need to take a boat. Pretty cool and medieval.
Bridges Take One
I was in London just over a week ago and spent some time shooting under bridges and the patterns of some of the supporting structures. I think I need to make a project out of these.
The Cornwall Coast
Ahh, so many good images from my week shooting in Cornwall. Today is a shot made along the coastline. This is the Godrevy Lighthouse. I did a large number of exposures at this location so you may see more in the future. This was made with an Olympus EM-1 and 12-40 pro lens.
Cornish Rainbow
I have been enjoying my time in the Cornwall area of England immensely. I have been shooting almost non-stop and have seen some great sunrises and sunsets and a lot of things in between. Yesterday morning we were shooting the sunrise at a little harbor and we had a rain shower then a double rainbow. How lucky was that? It’s been one of those rainbow kind of weeks.
Sunsets The Theme Of The Week
Seems I am in a sunset these week. I am in Cornwall and shooting a lot of images in a lot of places. This image was made today at sunset. Spent a good 2 hours shooting this lighthouse with various angles and shutter speeds. This is a good idea of why I am having so much fun here. Shot with an Olympus OMD EM-1.
