Ebbtide










A windy day in Brightlingsea. I took my backup camera since swapping lenses in such conditions can be hazzardous. Took the tripod too but forgot to take the quick release plate (which was on the main camera), so what to do but more in-camera blur.
The technique works well with seascapes, bringing out their constant movement and chaos more readily than a frozen image will. Here I used gentle lateral panning and zooming.

Pictures at an Exhibition

No update to the blog this month as I'm exhibiting in the real world for a change.
The place is the Wivenhoe Gallery (Wivenhoe Business Park, Brook Street, Wivenhoe CO7 9DP), and it's the first group exhibition by the Wivenhoe Photography Group. All the images exhibited (by 8 photographers) were shot during our group ventures.
If you're interested in photography or participating in the group, pop down Tues-Sat 9-5 throughout August.
