Time for a clue. This town has three railway stations.

Ecclesiastical?
Not Ecclesiastical. In a town. Can be seen on GSV.

Watch out with drones. The law has been tightened up significantly and for all but the smallest drones you will need a licence. Even for the small ones, if they have a camera they need licensing. See
https://www.caa.co.uk/drones/rules-and-categories-of-drone-flying/introduction-to-drone-flying-and-the-uk-rules/
Nice camera. I've recently upgraded from a Canon EOS 4000D to an EOS 7D Mk II. It's still and APS-C camera, so my glass still works! Remember that for hand-held the shutter speed should be faster that the reciprocal of the focal length; for 40mm that means 1/400s maximum, better to be a bit quicker. Hence the need for tripods in all but the most brilliant sunshine.

I have a camera with a long lens - or rather, my wife does. A Nikon D80 digital camera. She doesn't use it, so I'm thinking I might as well. Need to invest in a tripod for it though. I'm also thinking of buying a drone.

Thanks MartinR
That one was fun. I reckon you were near the Premiere Inn when you took that?
Next one up soon.

Near enough John, sat on the seafront in Southend looking across the Thames. ISO 100, f/5.0, 210mm with APS_C cropping = 336mm, further cropped in post-processing. Over to you John.

From the end of Southend Pier ? (with a very long lens)
Trying to work out the angle that puts the fort to the right of the turbines.

Not in a boat, but very nearly there.

Were you sitting on a boat in the Thames looking toward Sheerness/Queenborough?

OK, here is an easy one to restart the ball rolling. Where are these wind turbines, and where was I sat?
