Hello,

A few images of different transport along Blackpool Promenade.

In this post I have included the camera settings, as I wanted to illustrate the different shutter speeds used whilst panning to capture the moving vehicles. All images taken were handheld.

But I am sure you will agree when it works, the images look great and really isolate the moving vehicle in the blurred moving scene.

Christmas decorations along the Golden Mile

Hello, I hope that you are well.

18 sleeps until Christmas….

Here is a photo of Blackpool prom getting into the spirit.

I hope that the bow is well secured, as we have been seeing some high winds recently.

Head for heights.

Hello,

How are you? Have you had a good week?

Today id like to share some images of a job on Blackpool Tower.

The above image is obviously not one of mine, but wanted to show how things have changed, and thank god that they have.

The guys in the past had little or no working at height protection.

These days we use advanced techniques such as rope access, to access these hard to reach places safely.

I hope that you have a good weekend.

Another trip up Blackpool tower.

Hello, id like to share some images from another trip working up Blackpool's tower, repairing the illumination lighting at great height. 

Arrived to site early and so I walked the long way there. Was surprised to see early morning council worker cleaning the front. 

Ropes set, and decent underway. Always told "don't look down" but you have to in this game. 

Today repairs ongoing to the heart light. 

Sophisticated control gear, power the lighting on the Tower, helps it to change colour and be programmable.

Thanks for viewing.
