Britain's desert







Dungeness, a shingle headland on the Kent coast, has both a nature reserve and a nuclear power station. It is also Britain's only desert, as classified by the Met Office. All that notwithstanding, it is also a fine location for photography. Apart from the numerous small buildings that make up the hamlet on the site there are a good number of abandoned - and seaworthy craft - to make any self-respecting shooter foam at the mouth in anticipation.

Places like this, plus the clear skies on the day, cry out for black and white photogrphy.



24-70mm f/2.8 AF-S Nikkor.

Top: 1/320 second at f/10. Matrix metering. - 0.33 EV compensation. ISO 160

There's a good pub that serves fish and chips near by too. Pixie let me have one of her pictures from there when you visited before.
