Exposure
An exposure is the amount of light allowed to fall onto the sensor during the photographic process. The greater the amount of light let in, the brighter the resulting image will be.

Moon Clouds
f/8 6.00s ISO200
I noticed it was a clear night as I was driving home from work on Monday. I was waiting for an opportunity to do some long exposures of the stars, so this seemed like a good one.

Circuit board
I’ve recently discovered a fondness for the humble circuit board. Yes, that’s possibly one of the stranger statements you’ll read this year. But there’s something very interesting about these perfect lines connecting elements together in a uniform, functional manner.

I was recently away in Dorset on the Jurassic Coast. Plenty of photographic opportunities down there, especially when the sun is out!
