About Me

My photo
At the moment I am caring full time for a family member and when the time comes I will be selling up and living on a narrowboat.I enjoy reading,especially about those living on narrowboats and their daily lives.The tug Nb Resolute in the above picture is NOT mine but is owned by Dave Moore and is something I would aspire to own one day although I am going to look at many boats before I make a decision on the style and interior.Tugs are looking good at the moment but have yet to look around one. My interest in narrowboats started some 47 years ago. As a lad I cycled from Luton to bridge 111 on the G.U.by the Globe to fish and watch the Morton and Clayton boats go by,full of coal with a family on board and always wondered how they kept their balance on the planks that ran above the coal and why the the dogs didnt jump in the canal.That fascination has stayed with me so when I am able I will be there on my narrowboat joining in the great community of boat owners.

Find direction of sunrise/sunset anywhere worldwide

The Photographers Ephemeris

The Photographer's Ephemeris is a program to assist the planning of outdoor photography.
Landscape photographers typically plan their shoots around the times of sunrise/sunset or twilight, or alternatively when the moon is in a particular place in a particular phase.


As an example, sunset on Wednesday 25th July 2012 will shine directly along the canal at the Soulbury Three locks which should make a good sunset picture if standing on the nearby bridge looking along the locks on the canal.
If you are keen enough you can list your favourite landscape views then find the time of year when the sun rises or sets in the correct direction for a good picture.


As you can see the Jet Stream in yellow is below the UK allowing moist air from the north to form cloud cover which is problematic in the execution of your well planned photo shoot.
