The Refuge
Not quite as solemn a sky as on my previous couple of shots from Northumberland, though the wider shot would reveal a mass of cloud. However, I actually saw a glimmer of sunlight on this particular morning on my visit to Lindisfarne.
I’d gone to the island for sunrise but this particular shot was taken on my way back across the causeway, which is susceptible to flooding at high tide. The refuge hut is there just in case people haven’t heeded the tide warnings that are displayed at each end of the causeway.
I decided to strap on my 100-400 lens and shoot close the the ground with the R8 in order to compress the view, and to get the slither of light between the grey clouds and the road. This was my first real landscape outing with the R8. I also had my R5 with me with a wider lens attached, but I wanted to test out the R8’s abilities; it didn’t disappoint😁.
