When the builders stop

As more and more construction sites are slowing down and in some cases stopping, the partly built land left behind becomes a desolate waste waiting for the decision to start again. In one site over 20 acres of turned land holds broken rubble and grit like a long and wide scar anticipating the revival of an economic turnaround. The land taken, a solitary tree left standing - what remains in limbo is recreationally paralysed.

Nestea Beach Volleyball - Blackpool

Had a couple of days shooting this with press access. Great time sport watching and always good fun trying to shoot something different or push yourself to try different things.
Shot on manual - exposure taken before each game and worked around as the light changed. Most shot with a 70-300mm Sigma I picked up a while back which isn't the best lens in the bag but gives decent enough results.
