Inverted picture of a puddle with a wooden building reflected in it, so the building looks the correct way up. Around the edges you can see the bottoms of small sailing boats. A plank of wood is lying in the middle of the puddle.

#Puddle

The reflected building doubles up as the outside of the fictional "Whitstable Pearl" restaurant in the TV show.

A "castle" (basically a manor house with crenellations and mock turrets!) with a tree and grass in the foreground. Interesting clouds and shadow patterns from the tree branches. Some people are sitting on the ground in the bottom right of the picture.

Whitstable Castle?! Yes, Whitstable has a "castle". Of sorts. Although technically it's in Tankerton. Mostly built by an overly-rich bloke called Wynn Ellis for his mistress to live in while his wife stayed in London. Thankfully now owned by the local council, with public access to the gardens and a nice cafe in the orangery.

This technique doesn't work quite so well for images with a lot of detail but I think there's still something in this one.

A flight of concrete steps leading down to the beach and the sea below. They curve slightly to the left on the way down. There's a metal handrail on the left hand side.

Bright sun shines through a window in the side of a wooden shelter, on the left hand edge of the picture. To the right, the scene is split between a clear sky, the sea on the horizon, and a concrete path leading to some steps down from the grassy top.

A ruined church on top of a stone plinth on the sea shore. There are two large square towers with a triangular section between them that has holes where the windows used to be, one circular, and two arch-shaped. In the foreground are some massive rocks used as sea defences. To the right the sea stretches out.

The ruined church at Reculver. Once used as a landmark for shipping navigation, these ruins sit within a far older Roman fort, half of which has been lost to the sea. You'll probably see more pics of this spot from me, as it's one of my favourite places.

If you look closely there are birds in this picture - a flock of pigeons near the towers, and a cormorant on the marker post at the end of the spit.

An old cast iron cannon in a stone frame with stone wheels. It's sitting on a grassy slope above the sea, with the sea and a cloudy sky in the background.

A picturesque fishing boat is at the bottom right, but the rest of the lower half of the picture is water. In the background, taking up nearly the top half of the picture, is a complex industrial building with angles, pipes and chimneys. In front of it, on a wooden quayside, is a big pile of aggregates / gravel.

The sun is bursting through a small set of clouds, causing rays to spread upwards across the sky. In the foreground the tops of wooden beach huts can be seen - each with a triangular roof and slatted verandah.

I love the high dynamic range you can get with this technique - in a "normal" photo the huts would be black silhouettes with no detail. This shot isn't perfect, but the sunburst through the clouds only lasted a few seconds so I had no chance to retry.

An angular, striking, building by the sea. The roof rises to a sharp point. The sides are made form rectangular panels with a glass section near the bottom. Wide steps lead up to a plaza outside.
