After the foray up the coast to Southwold on Tuesday it was back to making work yesterday morning and today. I was up and out 1 hour 15 minutes before sunrise yesterday and what a sunrise it was. I have said this before, I never tire of seeing a sunrise. It is the most magical […]
Fish finger sandwich – Southwold style
Yesterday, the sun shone, just as it is today. Often on an Winter’s day when we get a high sitting over us and we happen to be not compelled to work, we will head up the coast to Southwold. We last went there on New Year’s Eve. I forgot that it was half-term until we […]
Abbot’s and cake
The weather this morning was just about right for a few large format images at one of my new locations. The light was flatter than I expected but hey-ho, I’ll just have to wait for the Portra to get to the lab and back. I snook the D810 out with me and whilst the tripod […]
Natural reclamation
As of this past week, Edgelands has moved up a gear. Various impediments to progressing the extended shoot have now been overcome and a weather window has permitted a second visit to a new location identified last November. The forecast for this morning was spot on or indeed in reality better than spot on. I […]
No smoke without fire
I was out in my quest for new Edgelands locations yesterday morning. Was it cold or not? I tagged some places but they need to be a Sunday morning job on account of traffic and other issues. Much of this fishing lake was frozen. I’m not sure what was cooking but this image makes me […]
The Northern Fringe
There is an old adage within photography and that is if you do not record something within six months of arriving in a place then it will have changed. This view on the Northern Fringe of Ipswich is subject to contentious planning change and the vista seen here might no longer be on account of […]
Subjective colour – CSCL Globe
I thought better of heading down to Felixstowe this morning. I really did not want my gear ending up in the North Sea unlike my fellow photographer in the last post. The wind had been quite gusty overnight but nothing like the Outer Hebrides. What an awful Shipping Forecast this morning. I did experiment with […]
CSCL Globe before daybreak
The weather yesterday afternoon, when I stumbled upon CSCL Globe berthed at Landguard with half the population of Suffolk blocking Viewpoint Road was dire. It is as equally if not more dire as I write this post today. I got a good vantage point yesterday from the nature reserve with the elevated position overlooking the […]
Largest ship in the world berths at Felixstowe
I went on a recce this afternoon along the Eastern edges of Ipswich looking for Edgelands sites. It was grim in terms of weather and nothing was stimulating my photography buds so I hoofed it down to Felixstowe to see if anything was in at Landguard. Well, I’ve never seen so much traffic. I was […]
Dog waste
I was out early this morning, an hour before daybreak but it was such a dark morning compared to yesterday which was impossibly bright. The temperature was up by at least 6 or 8 degrees. Such is Winter in temperate climes. I checked out the shipping movements for the dock and tide times and it […]
