A black and white photograph of back lit grasses on the shoreline at Sand Bay, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, UK. One particular seed head is in focus with the rest defocused or blurred. There is a lighter hexagon in the picture caused by the low angle sunlight compromising the lens, causing flare.

'A Shore War Thing'

#SandBay #BlackAndWhitePhotography #PhotogSocial #MinoltaXE1 #Rokkor PF 50mm F1.7 #IlfordPan400 FX55 #BelieveInFilm
A black and white photograph taken Thursday, 18th January 2024 from the shore at Sand Bay, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, UK. Thursday PM, 18th January 2024. It is a cold though beautiful sunny afternoon. The scene is one of looking up over grasses, bushes and scrub at the back of beach in which is an obscured pillbox, of which we can see only the roof venting against a blue sky. There is a telegraph pole on either end and near the edges of the frame. Some of the telephone wires are connected and some disconnected just hanging done loosely. All this is again a blue sky which is graduated darker at the uppermost of the frame.

'Iron Age'

#IronRailings #BlackAndWhitePhotography #PhotogSocial #MinoltaXE1 #Rokkor PF 50mm F1.7 #IlfordPan400 #FX55 #BelieveInFilm
A black and white photograph of some of the remaining iron railings around Baytree Rec' Weston-super-Mare, UK. The theme has a repeating pattern motif, from left to right, of a reversed S scroll, a large square tapering upward needle and a Straight S scroll. These three uprights held in place by a top and bottom horizontal rail. Though the railings have been occasionally painted they are not well maintained and indeed in places have already been replaced with modern - inferior - metal railings.
