Early morning trip to Newhaven. The tide was coming in and the wind was getting up which brought awesome sights of the waves hitting the harbour wall.
The Hastings Unit 1001 approaches Southease Station with the 'Newhaven Nonsense' tour, promoted by UK Railtours. After a break at Eastbourne, the tour continued up to Lewes and reversed to come down the Seaford branch to Newhaven.
Series of four. There were three Rock Pipits foraging on the foreshore. Just wish they would stay still for a moment.
Series of six. Our resident Kestrel has 4 (or maybe 5) chicks this year. Quite well developed. I waited for a parent to feed but it did not happen. Maybe next time.
Hiding under the heels of your corrupter. The hell is she going to do with a coward like you?

One from last week on a bitterly cold day with strong winds and spray.
Managed to salvage only 2 shots as the spray was covering the filter.
Always have a bit of dilema in composing this shot as the lighthouse isn't central in the path.
Two exposures merged together in PS as the sky was very bright in comparison to the foreground.
Will be taking a few more from here now that its light aftwer work and its one of the closest spots to me.
I had an afternoon off work just before Easter. Terrible weather for photography as it was so windy and nearly didn't bother going out. But then had a thought to check out Newhaven. Pleased I did! Some huge waves! Took lots of photos but the ones I like most are when the sun came out briefly and helped illuminate the details.
Thanks very much for viewing.
Series of five. The female Kestrel was sitting in her nest hole. A chick was just visible in some shots behind her and she was having a lovely preen.
Another shot which I took at Newhaven during the peak of Storm Brian on Saturday 21 October. At this point the sky out to sea was really dark with an approaching shower while the sun was still shining near the shore making for perfect lighting which didn't last too long. Taken from a safe position on shore with a lens at 210mm. Although it looks to be taken out at sea in the original image before cropping there was a bit of the beach in the image. The location is just west of the Newhaven Harbour wall breakwater and with a serious storm massive waves come in from the SW and hit the breakwater also creating a lot of backwash and turbulence with the waves coming in hitting the waves thrown back from the breakwater creating a mountainous sea.. I would assume it is quite deep water there for the waves to be so large.
Storm Brian was strong enough with gusts of 60-70mph to bring down trees. Conditions for Photography were ideal. The peak of the storm came in the middle of the day combining at the same time with an exceptionally high Spring Tide. The weather was sun and showers with the main rain having gone through overnight so the light was good. The location I wanted at Newhaven on the South Coast also had the advantage of a wide and high shingle beach providing a safe location to take pictures even in a fierce storm. I had wanted to take pictures from this location since being inspired by a talk given at the Bognor Camera Club early this year by well known seascape Photographer Rachael Talibart who had taken shots from the same location. This is one of about 1000 pictures I took over about 2.5 hours. With spray going well inland and showers I used a waterproof cover for the camera though the lens needed frequent cleaning. I would estimate that there were a good 30 other photographers there
The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Minolta 75-300mm zoom at 210mm. Taken handheld (No chance of a steady tripod in those conditions). It was bright enough though to easily get 1/2000 second. Processed first in Camera Raw and then in Topaz Denoise and Topaz Clarity and Adjust for more detail. The image may look mono but it is technically a colour image, the conditions created a mono appearance.

Panorama of the Newhaven Breakwater and the town of Seaford in the distance, looking from the site of Newhaven Fort. Evening.
Ever since I saw Gail Johnson's picture of a massive wave slamming the side of a lighthouse in the 2008 LPOTY I've been looking to shoot something similar. No point rushing into these things! I wanted to wait though, until conditions were just right, Newhaven isn't exactly around the corner for me, but with hurricane force winds predicted overnight I don't think conditions could've been any better than today. Thankfully I didn't have anything else planned so made the (rather tedious) journey to the coast. It was well worth it, I don't think I've ever seen such powerful waves, quite breathtaking. But then I do live in Surrey.

One more shot taken at Newhaven during the peak of Storm Brian on Saturday 21 October. At this point the sky out to sea was really dark with an approaching shower while the sun was still shining near the shore making for perfect lighting. The image was taken from a safe position on shore with a lens at 135mm. The location is just west of the Newhaven Harbour wall breakwater and with a serious storm massive waves come in from the SW and hit the breakwater.

I also used an old spare camera with an intermittent fault with a fully working camera in the bag as backup but not needed in the end. I would estimate that there were a good 30 other photographers there
The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Minolta 75-300mm zoom at 135mm. Taken handheld (No chance of a steady tripod in those conditions). It was bright enough though to easily get 1/8000 second with ISO 400 Processed first in Camera Raw and then in Topaz Denoise and then Topaz Adjust for more detail. Mono conversion with Topaz B&W Effects
