The Skinny Boat Photography Company

The Skinny Boat Photography Company Welcome! I capture moments in time while out and about. All images are for sale, so please don't share or copy them. You can buy from the weblink below :)

I'm very much an incidental photographer. The vast majority of my images have been captured 'ad hoc' as I've been out and about with my camera, very seldom do I pose the subject.. I enjoy nature and love photographing the wonderful places that I travel through with my husband on our narrowboat. I also like the unusual images presented by urban decay so you'll see a few of those creeping in, especi

ally in the monochrome section of my Instagram or pages. I hope you enjoy my work and I appreciate any purchases you make from me

Now n then I take a photograph which is totally unplanned - a snapshot really. So, while Pixie waited patiently for her mum to throw her ball, I happened to be there with my camera πŸ₯°πŸΎ

I am so chuffed with this. It was hard to get a decent photo of my photo but check our Fern Floating Fine Art who is such a skilled and fabulous artist. We combined my photography with her ability to make her own frames. It's the first time I've had my own photography framed for me and for my own home and to say I'm pleased is an understatement πŸ₯° Shiam, who runs Fern is a very accomplished artist and I highly recommend her works.

I'm really pleased with this rare image captured today on my way through Blisworth Tunnel. It shows my subject matter perfectly in silhouette with one boat ahead and another coming the other way. Absolutely inky black in there. Wet, dank, and I hate tunnels πŸ˜‚ ...but I had to show you this. Blisworth Tunnel was dug by hand back in the day, using no mechanical machinery bar picks, shovels and barrows. Grim, grimey and altogether an awful job digging it out. That was in 1793, and now here we are passing through on holidays, trip boats, fuel barges and photographers 🀩

This new addition to my collection will be available to buy at Foxton Locks.

While on my walk yesterday I came to this Gallows Hill Bridge. Under normal circumstances it's just a plain canal bridge although there are some beautiful ones. Now known as Bridge 8, it was nicely framed with snow weighing down the trees and bushes so I took this photograph. Records show this section of canal was completed in 1809 after plans to connect Market Harborough to Northampton ran out of funds. Given the original name and its location next to JG Pears (aka The Bone Factory) I was relieved to read Gallows actually is a type of clay (apparently) and thankfully not connected with hanging 😳

This is JG Pears on the outskirts of Market Harborough aka The Bone Factory. Photographically I liked the fresh crispness of it. The canal frozen in a winter wonderland. I hope it melts soon though...I need to move through there soon to get water 🀭

I was surprised to see these fab fungi still here despite the freezing weather.
These are the exact same ones I photographed on the 8th of January
Not quite as sharp as I would have liked, but then, I did have clumps of snow dropping on me and my camera πŸ₯Ά while trying to take the photograph!

Well after so much snow yesterday it was a photo opportunity in the making wasn't it β˜ƒοΈ I love the way the trees and bushes bend around the image under the weight of snow and the little splash of red from the lady walking in the distance. The canal has inevitably frozen over too, completing this Narnia style boating scene β„πŸŒ¨β˜ƒοΈ
