Night and day, shadow and light
Sunday 11th of February 2018
I didn’t really appreciate just how much of one’s time a baby takes up until Emily was born. It’s not even just things like rarely having a moment alone; it’s the other stuff, like major limits on spontaneity, especially in winter. Zoe and I can’t just decide to go out somewhere now, as we need to consider how accessible it will be with a baby and maybe pram. Consequently this leaves less time for…

Winter sunrise at the beach
Tuesday 19th of December 2017
I sleep too much, and poorly. I suspect the second thing is a result of the first, so I’ve resolved to try getting up earlier, since going to bed later isn’t really an option as it would disturb my wife and baby daughter too much. contrails across the dawn sky And so! Up before dawn, although since it’s winter that’s not saying much; the sun doesn’t rise until about half past 8. Still, it’s nice t…

Pakefield and Kessingland Beach and Cliffs
Monday 22nd of August 2016
Just a bit south of Pakefield beach, heading towards Kessingland, there are some interesting sandstone cliffs that I’d never seen before. I didn’t even know they were there until I decided on the spur of the moment to take a walk along the beach that way. These were taken with a mixture of the Fuji X100, and the Fuji X-E1 with 14mm and 60mm lenses. It’s interesting using the two cameras side by si…

A walk to Lowestoft
Saturday 30th of July 2016
Continuing the walking theme from last time , Zoe and I walked all the way to Lowestoft town centre and back today, a distance of just under 12 km, and taking us 2 hours 45 minutes. We’re both fans of Pokémon Go, primarily since it provides some pretty good motivation to go out and walk a lot, so naturally we had it active on our phones on the way into town. Alas, location data, full screen brigh…

Beach boat details
Monday 18th of July 2016
Yesterday the weather was hot and shiny so I went for a walk to Pakefield beach. I hadn’t planned it at the time but it turns out I got a nice selection of detail shots of the various boats. yellow tarpaulin with bugs blue and yellow ropes blue rope and green tarpaulin frayed tarpaulin on wood gunwale frayed tarpaulin on red partially covered rusty wire grid stones on matting several boats on the …

Fuji 14mm at the beach
Sunday 16th of August 2015
Strictly speaking I shouldn’t be doing this. The rules state that one should only use a single lens for the year, and I chose the Fuji 35mm f/1.4, yet here I am dallying with the 14mm f/2.8. In my defence, I like to think I’ve been photographing for long enough now that maybe I don’t need to stick quite so rigidly to what is essentially a learning exercise. I’m still primarily shooting with the …

Fog in the Morning
Monday 29th of September 2014
It’s not often we get fog like this in the morning, so I felt compelled to take advantage of it with a nice walk to the beach before work. lost cat poster bike warning sign bollard on cycle path water tower office Office building in front of our local water tower trees in two layers of fog dewy spider webs beach grass It’s quite an odd experience walking on a foggy beach. beach plant dog walker on…

Pakefield Beach
Sunday 6th of July 2014
My fiancée Zoe and I moved house recently, to Carlton Colville, a small suburb south of Lowestoft , and one of the nicest things about it is that it’s only a short walk to the beach in nearby Pakefield. view south along Pakefield beach The view south along Pakefield beach me on the steps down to Pakefield beach Zoe took this picture of me on the steps down to Pakefield beach The beach is very wel…
