The period of spring tides made me head into the Bay looking for the very low tide. I’ve found in the past that you can access/photograph rock pools that cannot be seen for much of the month and that was the plan. There was only one day of the peak tides [...]
I looked out quite early and realised it was not a day for being in the valley of the river Dart. In spring and autumn mist will often remain in the valley for quite some time. However there was the promise of some sun to come.
Looking for some “good dawn” images I headed into the Bay for 6:30 am with dawn being at 7:15 am. By the time I looked into the Bay I could see that I was not going to get a “clear” sunrise of any sort; the lights in the distance are Brixham. [...]
Having caught up with the backlog of the holiday snaps I started working on the relatively small number I’ve taken since I’ve been back and wondering about my next post. These are not all taken on the same day but I realised that on a number of days I’d taken photos [...] A short evening wander around the centre of Torbay and I found from a photographic perspective that looking down at the sea and up at the sky was the most rewarding.
At Goodrington the last light of the sun on the waves looked good. The area has some colourful buoys marking [...] The weather had not been that good for a few days so despite it looking a little grey and rather thundery I decided I had to get out. It looked a little brighter when I got to Goodrington beach. It was quite warm and rather windy – the beach had [...] I’ve been thinking about changing my camera for a while now and not for another Sony for a few reasons. Given this I’d not looked at getting any other lenses as I’d not be using them on a new camera. However conversations with a couple of friends made me rethink my plans a little. [...] For a variety of reasons I’ve not been out much recently and certainly not as much as I would have liked. The evening looked promising so I headed for Brixham hoping for some good sunlight. As is so often the case it didn’t quite work out like that but I still found some scenes [...] Another evening out walking the local area. The weather was not good and there were odd showers. However walking around Berry Head was pleasant. The old fort there is being cleaned up up/renovated and the sea bird colony just to the south of it had a lot of birds in in. There were auks [...] The title of a Neville Shute novel that I loved about a post apocalyptic world – while the scenario is different now maybe there are some echos – but I digress I found this while wandering the beach the other evening. It was obviously carefully sculpted by someone who had [...] |
