Starting this week with something rather unusual, for this blog. It’s not the first time I share a photo of a man-made rather than natural subject, if nothing else I have made enough photos of chapels, farm buildings, or bits of our old cities. However, I don’t usually make photos of industrial subjects, and in fact can’t even remember the last time I shared anything … Continue reading Delimara Power Station
For this week’s recent photography I’m sharing a couple impressions from the rocky coastline near the salt pans from last week’s photo. The first, above, is a long exposure, similar to the photo I shared last week. This technique makes use of a strong filter (ideally neutral density) to reduce the light falling on the camera sensor, allowing the shutter to remain open for a … Continue reading Rocky Coastline
For this week’s recent photo I’m sharing another from last week’s walk. The latter half of the walk started along the rocky coastline near Il-Qala t-Tawwalija. As I approached the well-known St Peter’s Pool I passed some salt pans carved into the rock, and decided this was the perfect opportunity for some photography. I set up with my tripod and played around with my filters … Continue reading Salt Pans

I took this wide angle view shortly after sunrise, moments after the one in my earlier post with the ships in the distance. In the lower right you can see a number of heads in the water, where the group I walked with were swimming, waiting for the sunrise. I joined … Continue reading Sunrise Swim
I’m back with another photo from last week’s early morning walk. I planned to arrive a little earlier than necessary, to have some time to take a few night shots. I had in mind a photo with the chapel at Tas-Silġ in the foreground and the open sky above; there should have been the Milky Way there. Unfortunately, the light pollution was insane for such … Continue reading Approaching Sunrise
Something rather fresh this week. This weekend I went for a short walk and swim at sunrise near Delimara. As I don’t usually set my alarm at 04:00, I wanted to make a most of this occasion so I took my camera and tripod with me. I took a few photos that I’m rather happy with, and today I’m sharing the first of that (short) … Continue reading Ships on Hurd Bank at Sunrise
