Backlog: December 2019
Thursday 2nd of February 2023
Finally, the last month of 2019! As with the previous month, finding pictures wasn’t actually a struggle for a change; in fact I had to be quite selective to reduce the choice to just these ones. Even so, three of them are from the same morning fog adventure, and two are pictures I’d previously not really paid much attention to. It’s interesting what a fresh pair of eyes can reveal. This image is …

Backlog: March 2019
Friday 25th of November 2022
Looking through my photo library, pictures from this month are mostly of Zoe and Emily – it seems I didn’t get out to do anything else very much. Still, you can never have enough pictures of your wife and daughter, so I’m not complaining :) Even now, almost 4 years on, Em still loves going on the swings.

Backlog: February 2019
Thursday 24th of November 2022
More fog this month, this time on a morning walk around Lound Lakes. While preparing the images for this post, I was inspired by a video I recently watched about the Hassleblad X-Pan/Fujifuilm TX-1, so decided to try cropping the images to that camera’s super wide 65×24 (1:2.7) aspect ratio. It’s certainly a challenge trying to find images to fit, as obviously none of them were shot with this in…

Backlog: January 2019
Sunday 13th of November 2022
January, like the previous month , was quite sparse, photographically. I don’t recall why, exactly – perhaps it was the work involved in bringing up a 1-year-old, perhaps it was just the weather wasn’t especially cooperative most of the time. Or perhaps I was just lazy? Still, grey, overcast and dull weather can make for worthwhile photos if you approach it with a positive attitude. Lowestoft bea…

Backlog: December 2018
Saturday 5th of November 2022
December is when winter really get stuck in, and offers frequent displays of soft, low sun. Despite this photographic bounty, December was a surprisingly low-output month for me; perhaps looking after a 1-year-old child took its toll. early afternoon on Coast Road It’s also a time of wrapping up warm when out and about. shoppers at Norwich market Emily wrapped up warm doing a superhero pose The lo…

Lowestoft before summer
Wednesday 16th of May 2018
Winter didn’t want to let go this year, clinging on until well into April. It’s finally given over to Summer, which is a relief, both to my mood and to our energy bills. cold rocky groyne lifeguard station deserted beach small painted human figures on a fence stacked scaffolding poles abandoned sofa and armchair

Yarmouth: remainder
Sunday 15th of April 2018
I have rather been lax with my blog upkeep of late – looking after a 5-month-old baby will tend to have that effect. Still, Em is doing great, and even though I’ve not been posting, I have still been shooting. Not that this post is about anything recent: it’s a collection of ‘miscellaneous’ pictures from our weekend away in Great Yarmouth a while back. big G from a ‘BINGO’ sign reflections in ch…

Yarmouth: fronts
Wednesday 21st of March 2018
A month ago, Zoe and I needed a break: work was stressing me out, and Zoe was having to take on all the housework duties. Since Emily was only 4 months old at the time, we didn’t want to go far, so settled on Great Yarmouth, since it’s only a short drive from where we live. February is not exactly tourist season, what with the freezing wind and frequent gloomy wet weather, but the chance to relax …

Walking with baby
Sunday 25th of February 2018
Although it’s cold and wintry, last weekend the sun was out so Zoe and I decided to go for a walk in Dunwich Forest. Given the rough terrain we decided against Emily’s pram and instead took the baby harness to put her in instead. yellow flowered bush in cleared forest land trees ready for logging Zoe at the end of the road forest path 1 forest path 2 archery range sign forest pond bench in the woo…

The sea and the sun
Saturday 27th of January 2018
My parents are staying at our house while the purchase of their new house grinds along. I don’t get on well with them and have been feeling stressed lately, so Zoe and I took Em out for breakfast at the Lighthouse Café in Lowestoft, then for a walk along the seafront. A lovely shiny day it was, too! Cold, but good for clearing one’s head. After being up and alert while Zoe and I ate breakfast, Em …

Southwold Diptychs
Sunday 24th of December 2017
The weather forecast said it’d be shiny at dawn today but that turned out not to be the case. Instead, it brightened up about 11 o’clock, so Zoe and I made the most of it and went to Southwold with Emily for a nice walk by the sea. As with yesterday I shot with the Acros +Y film simulation, and +2 highlights, +4 shadows. Generally it worked well, but there were a couple of cases where +4 shadows w…

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…

Burgh Castle, and the setting sun
Tuesday 14th of February 2017
Yet more nice weather! Perhaps the atmosphere will be kind for this whole week while I’m off work? Once again I wanted to go out somewhere today and make the most of the shine, and so: Burgh Castle . I’ve been here before with Zoe but that was a long time ago and I don’t even know if I posted the pictures here (if I did, I didn’t tag the post properly, oops). It’s an ancient Roman fort, or rather…

Gorleston, bright, breezy and hazy
Monday 13th of February 2017
It’s my birthday, and the atmosphere bestowed a fine gift upon me: sunshine! Even better, it’s really hazy so the light is lovely and soft. After a delicious breakfast at the Lighthouse Diner in Lowestoft, Zoe and I decided a walk around Gorleston would be a fine way to spend the morning. A quick trip back home to pick up wooly hats (very much needed, it turned out) and off we went. looking sout…
