Honfleur Radar Station

Posted by
Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 26 November 2010 in Business & Industry and Portfolio.

This is one from earlier in the summer which I've re-processed.

It's a long exposure photo taken at dusk of one of the radar stations at Honfleur on the River Seine at the approaches to the docks at Le Havre.

You can see the Pont de Normandie in the background.

NIKON D700 30 seconds F/16.0 ISO 200 21 mm (35mm equiv.)

Wonderful movement of the clouds - the reflection of the radar station even in the blurred appearing river water brings out wonderful look. Wonderfully well composed.

It's the stillness & the softness of the water that really makes this image.

Good to see this one Ian. It's a real corker. I might consider a cheap ferry and have a go at that bridge over the coming winter months.

Thanks to all of you for the lovely comments.

It was photographed without a tripod - I was with my family on holiday so didn't have my usual tripod or remote shutter release with me. Instead, I placed the camera on top of the concrete sea wall (nice and stable it was too!) and used the normal shutter release button but with the 2 second delay set to avoid any undue camera shake.
