Good morning,
Have you ever wondered how tall the offshore turbines are?
Well the one in the video above, is a turbine on a UK wind farm.
These have a maximum height of up to 204m to the tip of the blade with a blade diameter of 164m.
Thanks

Hello, today I’d like to share with you some photos from a recent visit to Arbroath Abbey.
Nestled in the heart of Arbroath, the ruins of Arbroath Abbey stand as a testament to Scotland’s rich medieval history.
The abbey’s architecture showcases the grandeur of medieval design, with its towering arches, intricate stone carvings, and beautiful rose windows. Despite being in ruins, these elements highlight the skilled craftsmanship of the era
Founded in 1178 by King William the Lion, Arbroath Abbey is one of Scotland’s most significant medieval monasteries. It played a crucial role in Scottish history, particularly as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was drafted in 1320, a document asserting Scotland’s independence.
The Declaration of Arbroath is one of Scotland’s most important historical documents, symbolizing Scottish independence and national identity.
In 1320, during a turbulent period of Scottish history marked by wars of independence against England, Scottish nobles and barons came together to draft the Declaration of Arbroath. This letter, addressed to Pope John XXII, sought to affirm Scotland’s status as an independent kingdom and to request the Pope’s intervention in the conflict with England.
I can highly recommend the Abbey for a visit, as it is a very interesting site.
Thanks
Lee
Good Morning,

This is located in the Netherlands side of the North Sea.
I hope that you enjoyed this post,
Have a good week.

Good morning,
Today I’d like to share some photos of St Vigeans Church.
This Church of Scotland parish church serves the parish of the ancient village of St Vigeans on the outskirts of Arbroath, Angus, Scotland. The church was rebuilt in the 12th century but not consecrated until 1242 by David de Bernham, Bishop of St Andrews
These images are another edition to my church project where I am enjoying shooting different churches.
Do you have an ongoing project? I would love to see it.
Send me a message on Instagram.
Thanks,
Lee

Imagine standing atop rugged cliffs, with the North Sea crashing below and the wind whipping through your hair.
Welcome to the Arbroath Cliffs Walk, where nature’s raw beauty meets Scotland’s storied coastline.
The Arbroath Cliffs Walk stretches along Scotland’s east coast, offering a 4-mile trail filled with dramatic cliff faces, natural rock formations, and panoramic sea views.
Have you walked the Arbroath Cliffs? Share your favorite spots or good photography walk in the comments on my instagram @lee_ramsden as I would love to hear your thoughts.

Good morning, today id like to share some images of recent courses attended.
Those who work in the renewables industry will feel my pain for attending the GWO renewal courses….again
The courses consist of -
Sea Survival
First Aid
Working at height
Manual handling
Fire fighting
These certificates are only valid for 2 years and have to be kept up to date whilst working offshore in the renewables industry.
Good morning,
today i’d like to share some images of a recent motorcycle shoot.
Here is a short video of how I lit the above image.
The images were lit and shot by myself and I had to keep the equipment very light and compact to a single rucksack, so that I could ride the motorcycle to the different locations.
I really enjoy vehicle photography.
I would love to see your images, comment over on Instagram @lee_ramsden.
Thanks,
Lee
Good morning,
Today id like to share a short video of how we access an offshore substation on a windfarm.
After a 1.5hrs CTV (crew transfer vessel) ride, it is a large ladder climb on to the platform.
Where as this may not be for everyone, I will take this, over being stuck in traffic on the M25 every single time!
Good morning, Id like to share some black and white images.
Black and white (monochrome) is a genre that i rarely shoot, but have been really enjoying it recently.
I hope that you like the following.

Good morning,
Here are some images taken from an evening camp up Loughrigg Fell.
Loughrigg Fell is a hill in the central part of the English Lake District. It stands (Elevation 335m) on the end of the long ridge coming down from High Raise over Silver How towards Ambleside, and is separated from its neighbours by the depression of Red Bank.
Have you ever solo camped? I would love to see your photo.

Good morning,
Here are some photos of my family and images from a trip to Ferrara, Italy.
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, moments with family often pass by in a blur. But what if you could freeze those precious seconds and revisit them anytime? That’s the magic of family photography.
A simple light set up, with one key light strobe, camera left through a soft box
and a standing house light I found in my aunts house to the camera right for some separation rim lighting.
Start capturing your family’s unique story today. Share your favorite family photos and the stories behind them in the comments on Instagram @lee_ramsden
And if you’re looking for professional help, don’t hesitate to reach out to a photographer who can bring your family’s memories to life.
Thanks

Good morning,
Today I wanted to share a couple of images from where I was working at height on a telecoms tower. I liked the shadows created of a couple of scaffolders walking by, unaware.
