Default Blackpool through my eye.

Hello everyone. My last post was of my son David at Blackpool. These are a couple that I got myself whilst we were there. This was my first time trying out the polarizing filter.
Thanks for taking a look, and I hope you enjoy.


Blackpool Tower

North Pier Blackpool

The famous Blackpool Donkeys

Jake you have made Blackpool look very nice. My husband is sitting behind me making comments about the place, so you have done a wonderful job with your photography. Love the colour in the first photo, I have a polarizing filter but have never been very happy with what it has produced, I must go back again and give it another chance after looking at your photo.

Three beautiful picture post cards from the home of the kiss me kwik hat, candy floss and the donkey ride wonderful work
The polorizing filter is a great addtion to your camera tool kit and you must be pleased with the results.

Thanks to you and your husband, I am so glad that you both enjoyed them. You are very kind Michelle.
