Purton Hulks

The remains of old boats and barges deliberate sunk on the bank of the Severn at Purton to help prevent erosion. Some of the barges are great concrete things, others, like these are wood and have become mere skeletons.

Both these were taken on the little Fuji x100s with an ND filter and resulting long(ish)) exposure.

Excellent shot, Caveman. Aircraft, odd angles and mono - we're on the same wavelength!



Fuji x-pro with a 35mm lens if I remember rightly.

Yep,seems so

[caveman]

And, it's a great wavelength. Ed.

I've just noticed if you look in the cockpit you can see the Pilots Fob Watch attached to the Console.

Hi John sorry but no space for a Camera !

[Jocko]

Lovely images. Which reminds me. I have a flying lesson in a fortnights time. I'll get my Mrs to take some snaps.

Crackers Doug, 1st one, try cloning out the plane to the left, and the Path in front of the port wing leading edge, same tone as general concrete, makes the wing prominent, icing on an already great cake. Believe the waiting list is about 2 years. Cheers. Ed.

Smashing photos - love the second one with all the exhaust smoke come from the engine. I'd actually like to see them in colour - just wonder if colour might separate the Spitfire from the background a little more? But cracking shots!

Hi Delboy I will post later that four letter word "Work" gets in the way, just not sure where to post it.

Tell me about it! That's why, in general, I post little during the week and a bit at weekend.

Still, one day it'll be our turn to put our feet up and let the rest keep the wheels of commerce and industry turning
