Thames Clipper
I got bored last week and started buying loads of photo related junk that I don’t really need of the internet. This included a rip off Manfrotto tripod. I was going to try some long exposures over the weekend to try it out but I didn’t get the chance. On Monday evening the weather and tide combination looked promising so I went to North Greenwich to try some stuff that I’ve been meaning to do for ages.

The shots that I’d planned to take didn’t prove that great but by chance a Thames Clipper was beached close by which proved to be a bit more interesting.

I trod on my cable release and broke it so I was slightly limited by the camera's internal timer until I worked out a way around it. This was a 30 second exposure, F/8 @ 200 ISO with 4 or 5 full power flashes from a Tungsten gelled SB900.
