Lowestoft town centre, December
Friday 30th of December 2016
It feels a lot less than two years since a previous “winter sun” post, my goodness how time flies. These are all from a couple of days ago when I visited town to arrange a new pair of glasses, since I lost one of the lenses in my old pair and besides, I suspected my eyesight had got worse (confirmed). New pair won’t arrive for up to two weeks though, as I wanted the lenses that help when working…

Christmas in the North-West
Thursday 29th of December 2016
As has been traditional, Zoe and I went to stay at her parents’ house this Christmas. As is also traditional, I managed to be ill for most of it, having caught a cold off Zoe and suffered rather worse from it than she did. Still, I did manage to get out a couple of times to take some pictures in nice light. West Kirby pictures taken with Zoe’s Fuji X-M1 and XC 16 – 50 because I forgot to bring my o…

London Road salmon-coloured houses railings around a Christmas tree gated…

Norwich, winter sun
Saturday 19th of November 2016
Autumn is almost over, with the temperatures heading well into full on winter territory – today was a mere 2 ° C, partly due to the clear bright sky. What it lacks in colour, winter makes up for in great light that lasts all day. Took the 18 – 55 out for a spin again today, and again it disappointed me. I had an idea that it was the image stabilisation that was causing the lack of sharpness, but t…

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…
