Hello, I hope that you are well.
Today Id like to share some images taken on St Anne’s beach during a beautiful sun set.
Good morning,
Today I’d like to share some simple black and white images where we walk the dog locally on the beach. I am enjoying the contrast and textures at the moment shooting in monochrome.
I would love to see your black-and-white images.
Feel free to comment over on Instagram @lee_ramsden
Thanks

On this wet Sunday, Lytham remembers.
Remembrance Sunday is held in the United Kingdom as a day to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts. It is held on the second Sunday in November.
Thanks

Good morning,
Here is a photo following on from my personal project of photographing Church’s.
Although officially Fairhaven United Reformed Church, this church is known locally as The White Church.
The story of the White Church begins at a meeting of the congregation of Lytham Congregational Church in 1899 with the suggestion that there should be a new church in Fairhaven on the estuary of the Ribble on land leased by the Clifton family of Lytham Hall. A month after the proposal was made they received great encouragement for their vision. The Congregational Union of England and Wales had commenced a fund to raise half a million guineas for church extension… ‘in view of the rapid increase in population’.
Now there was no stopping them and with scarcely a setback they began raising the money that would be required to build the new church, a church which they all agreed should be a distinctive architectural feature in the district (and it is!).
Four firms were chosen to submit designs. The successful architects were Briggs, Wolstenholme and Thornley of Blackburn who won with a design that imitated some of the features of Byzantine architecture (on the outside that is). When the church was opened on October 17, 1912, eight years after the opening of the new church hall on May 4 1904, their vision was realised.
Thanks

Hello, I hope that you are well.
Today I would like to share some images taken of the Parish Church of St Annes.
The Above image was lit by attaching LumeCube lights to a drone and flown close by to illuminate different areas. Multiple exposures were taken and then blended in photoshop.
The church is from which the town took its name. It is part of the Church of England and in the Diocese of Blackburn.
History
The building of St Annes Church was commissioned by Lady Clifton in the early 1870s and named in memory of her aunt who was called Anne. It was built as a chapel of ease to the then parish church of St Cuthbert in Lytham to benefit the farm labourers and fishermen of the hamlet of Heyhouses, who had difficulty in getting to church on a Sunday morning. It was several miles walk

Here are a few iPhone images taken whilst i was waiting for a time lapse set up to complete.
As you can see from the above image i had 4 and a half hours to kill...
The Kessler Cineslider. So far I'm pretty impressed with this bit of kit. Each time i take a time-lapse it gets tweaked and set up slightly different. Using lighting stands and moveable heads with the aid of a spirit level helps no end in getting the shoot straight from start to finish.
My old Nikon D700 is now used for the time lapse work.
Lytham green and windmill.
The attached Youtube video is my first attempt. (well with usable footage)
and a play with 4K.
On average each sequence was around 4hours of shooting time. Which on a cold January morning, or evening certainly makes the process harder and you have to check and double check everything so not to waste your time by not producing any usable footage. Which happened on more than one occasion.
Below are some stills taken from playing with a time-lapse rig.
This is something that i really like the look of and will be pursuing the opportunities further.
