Friday 28th January 2011

The grey dull weather continues making quality imaging almost impossible - Thank goodness for Snow Buntings and a couple of hours sunshine this afternoon

The meteorological office now tell us that we've only had 40% of the sunshine we'd normally expect for January - Stroll on February!!

 

 

 

 

Friday 21st January 2011

 

This dull grey weather continues - 3 months now - The weekly forecast has just said that we've had less than 30 hours sunshine in January!! Absolutely dire and as a photographer so difficult to make things work in these awful conditions

Anyway the grey days are here, so it's strap on the flashgun and West Norfolk for Snow Buntings

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Monday 10th January 2011

What a beautifully gorgeous start to the day with this fabulous low tide sunrise - Unfortunately within half an hour of taking this image we were back to dull cloudy grey again and that's the forecast for the rest of the week - get what you can while you can!!

 

So after such a gorgeous start to the day it's dull again - So strap the flash on and get what you can when you can!!

Sunday 19th December 2010

With so much ice on the side roads making it quite unsafe to drive and in the absence of wildlife to photograph it's back to the beach for inspirational imaging - All of these were taken by moonlight as the tide turns to accentuate the water flow patterns!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Friday 17th December 2010

The daytime weather's still not great but what a super week for coastal sunrises - you really do need all of the elements working for you and that just doesn't happen more than a couple of times in a year!!

You need a low tide that coincides with the sunrise, just enough but not to much cloud!! the sort of wet sand that you really only get in winter, luck and patience - Rarely do you get 5 tidal mornings on the run and rarer still to get worthwhile images on 3 of them - Great stuff!!.

 

 
  
 
 

Wednesday 15th December 2010

What a difference a day makes!!!

Sunrise at low tide with reflections on wet sands can be pretty impressive 

This morning there was little or no colour in the sky, far too much cloud and it started to rain, not a great combination!! So I packed up and started to walk home - then out on no where and only for about 2 minutes this gorgeous glow appeared - well worth getting out of bed for on a winters morning!!

 

 

 

Tuesday 14th December 2010

There's worse places to live than Cromer!!

The weather's still not great but this mornings low tide daybreak was pretty good!!

  
 

Tuesday 7th December 2010

More ice 'stuff' - Turnstones in a flap!!

Tuesday 16th November 2010

Totally unexpected this georgeous weather lasts for another day and today there's no wind - which is really something for North Norfolk - A little breeze which then dropped and left fabulous reflections in superb light - For Norfolk, this is just about as good as it gets.
