TEES - 10th September (99 images)
21st September 2007

A second trip up to the South Gare with Phil Simpson provided yet more new sightings.The two local dredgers 'Cleveland County' and 'Heortnesse' were in and out from the approach channel to the deposit all the while we were there.
A different Pilot cutter,Crofter,was back and forth this time,I only saw her the once on the last trip as one of the newer cutters was doing the work.
A description as to where the vessels are bound is posted under the first pic of each as in the last Tees collection.
Including Tugs and the Anchorage,19 sightings for the trip...was well chuffed!
There were many in the anchorage,most of which proved to be new sightings,Ive posted distant shots of these,quality not much good,so hopefully get them in or out on a future visit.
The two Peters from who we met last visit were there again to provide updated movements and great conversation,hope to see you again soon guys although with us losing the light fast now it may be a while.
Hope you like these images,all comments welcome.
Bye for now ;-)

I wasn't all that impressed with the pictures when I got home as I had bought a new lense for my camera,which I reckon had been dropped in the post,the damn thing rattles a bit and when you take a picture,if you keep looking through the lense as the image has been taken and being recorded to the card theres a clicking sound and the image drops slightly,I think the image is being recorded onto the card out of focus because of this...any comments would be welcome.
Therefore most of the images have been sharpened a tad,you may also notice a difference in shade to the pics,this isnt due to doctoring,its just I was messing around with different settings on the camera,the darker images with the more intense coulours are on the Auto setting,the lighter paler ones are one the Landscape setting,I havent gotten that daring yet as to try the A,S,P,M settings yet....time will tell,lol.
