OCOLOY Week 51
Wednesday 30th of March 2016
For this penultimate week, I decided to bend the rules a little, in that I actually used my X100 all week instead of the X-E1 and 35/1.4, thus foregoing the ‘one camera’ and ‘one lens’ aspects entirely. Not even the same focal length. But man have I missed the X100. I sent it to my brother months ago since he wanted to see if that 35mm-e field of view suited him before buying the equivalent lens f…

OCOLOY Week 36
Sunday 15th of November 2015
Somewhat chastened by my lack of effort last week, this week I resolved to try harder, resulting in two pre-work bike rides to the beach, and one nice hour-long stroll around north Lowestoft seafront which, despite the generally dull overcast weather, produced plenty of pleasing pictures. It’s certainly somewhere I’ll revisit, particularly on sunnier days. This is the first time in many weeks wher…

OCOLOY Week 34
Sunday 1st of November 2015
Rather last-minute this week, but what a productive minute it was! During the week the weather had once again been meh, and so had my motivation, but with Sunday came fog. Fog is always great for creative inspiration, I think because it’s so rare, and so there’s a novelty factor involved. no access gate no access gate tatters on barbed wire tatters on barbed wire Hamilton Road bus stop Hamil…

OCOLOY Week 20
Wednesday 3rd of June 2015
This week is a bit of an odd one out, for two reasons. First of all, some of these pictures are shot with my X100, which right away goes against the ‘one camera, one lens’ idea. I was checking to ensure it still worked properly since I was sending it to my brother, so I took it out on Saturday when Zoe and I went into Lowestoft town centre. I’d forgotten how … not great that camera’s EVF is – di…

OCOLOY Week 7
Wednesday 4th of March 2015
After a bit of a slow start Wednesday to Friday, the weekend was really productive for me: each day I went on a nice long walk up Lowestoft’s main shopping precinct and high street, then back along the seafront. On Sunday the weather was cold and grey and windy whereas Saturday was bright and sunny (but still pretty cold and windy). Surprisingly though I feel like the pictures I took on the dull g…

OCOLOY Week 2
Tuesday 27th of January 2015
This week was a mix of clear skies and bright winter sun, and dull overcast days where it was a struggle to find anything interesting to shoot. I’m quite pleased with my efforts to consistently go for reasonably long walks (at least 30 minutes) every day, one of which was after sunset – I think in the future I’ll try to get more pictures at night, to explore the possibilities. abandoned delivery …

Winter Sun
Tuesday 16th of December 2014
In case it’s not obvious from previous posts, I really like the photographic opportunities winter provides. At a latitude of around 52°, by mid-December there’s a mere 7 hours and 45 minutes of daylight, and the sun barely reaches 14° above the horizon, so shadows are long throughout the day. tree shadows on a footpath Lowestoft south beach promenad 12:30, and the sun is at its highest point of th…
