Not sure about the white wave at the bottom middle of the image, a

couple of people have commented that it spoils the composition.

 

It doesn't bother me being there but interested in what people think.

 

Thanks for looking.

Herringfleet Mill at sunrise, a drainage mill from 1820 on the

Suffolk/Norfolk border.

 

I'm not so sure about this one, there wasn't any direct light hitting

the mill - does it look a bit too dark?

An old one from the beginning of the year - my first go with my new

camera.

 

Still not sure about this one, the horizon feels a bit too 50/50 to me.

Went to Bawdsey for dawn yesterday. Weather was dreadful but the

clouds parted for just long enough to capture the sunrise.

Popped down to a near by beach for sunrise to check the camera and see

if I still remembered how to use it after 6 months or so of inactivity.

 

Was treated to quite a nice dawn, which made the 4am start seem almost

worthwhile!

Bamburgh Castle in Northumbria, taken at dawn.

Went to Happisburgh in Norfolk at the weekend to try out a second hand40D. Had a little bit of trouble as it kept resetting itself to theprevious owners defaults but I eventually got the hang of it.

I'm quite pleased with the results so ended up buying it, will beinterested in what others think.

Went to Bawdsey in Suffolk at the weekend, more to scout the location

than to take photos. However, it was a lovely dawn so I scrambled down

the sea wall to the beach as quickly as I could.

 

Managed to get a few shots before both my camera & I were swamped by a

wave - of which this is my favourite.

 

Thanks for looking.

A shot from sunrise on Saturday, taken just before a storm hit.

 

My filters were covered in a mix of spray and raindrops, no matter how

often I cleaned them and this has resulted in the shot having an

(unintentional) slightly smudged/blurred look to it I quite like.

 

Interested in peoples views on if it works as is... or if I'm just

trying to salvage something best deleted!

A shot of Herringfleet Mill from a while ago. I took it about half an

hour after sunrise using a Cokin IR filter - I used a custom white

balance taken from the surrounding grass with the filter on, which

seems to have given it a nice golden look.

 

I don't have much experience with IR photography, so any suggestions

or critiques will be appreciated.

 

Incidently, the vignetting in the corners is from the filter but I

felt the composition suffered if I cropped the shot.

 

Thanks for looking.

I recognise those trees! You certainly caught it at a good time, the Stour makes an almost perfect mirror when it's calm.

 

Like the figures in it, contrast nicely with the trees. I find the harsh reflection of the sun keeps drawing my eye to it & I'd have been tempted to crop out some of the empty field on the left - personal opinion though.

Tips of a branch buried in the sand at Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex,

UK. Taken at sunrise.

A branch lying in the surf at Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex, UK early one

morning.

A solitary rock lying on the beach at Saltwick Bay in North Yorkshire.

Taken at sunrise.

 

Just liked the water trails in this one.

 

Thanks for looking.

This is one of my very first landscape shots, and although I misjudged

the exposure and have blown out the highlights bottom right, it still

remains one of my favourites.

 

I just like the 'feel' of the shot.

 

Taken early morning at Benacre nature reserve, Suffolk.

 

Thank you for looking.

Five trees on the bank of the River Stour in Dedham, Essex, taken about

30 minutes before dawn.

 

I love this river, it's wide and slow, and on calm days it acts like a huge

mirror.

A lump of shale lying on the beach at Saltwick Bay in North

Yorkshire, with the Black Nab sticking up through the waves in the

background.

 

Taken about 20 minutes after sunset, as the last of the colour was

leaving the sky.

about half an hour after sunrise.

 

Thanks for looking.

Southwold Pier in Suffolk. This was a great predawn display, where

the light just went pink for about 5 minutes before sunrise. The wire

wrapped post might not be the most attractive foreground object, but

I liked the contrast between the broken sea defenses and the cared

for pier in the background.

 

Thanks for looking.

A section of tree that I found in the surf at Walton-on-the-Naze

early one morning, with the sun starting to rise on the left and the

moon setting on the right. The branches in this position made me

think of the tenticles of some old sea monster.

Five trees on the bank of the River Stour near Dedham, Essex. Taken

at dawn, at this time of day the river smooth and tranquil, acting

like a large mirror.

Saltwick Bay in Yorkshire, taken about an hour after sunrise.

 

I wasn't very happy with any of the photos I got from this trip, but

over the last week this one has really grown on me.

Sunrise at Saltwick Bay in Yorkshire during high tide.

 

Got a bit wet taking these, a storm front had made the waves a bit

more boisterous than I'm used to.

I went to North Yorkshire for the weekend where the weather was

fairly dreadful, looking through my shots there aren't many I'm happy

with but I like the sky and the light just hitting the edge of the

rock in this one.
