Ventured down the coast for a few days this week, Dovercourt is a grand total of 24 miles from home and I think that's as far as we're going to get this year in terms of a summer holiday!
The traditional view of the Low Lighthouse is normally a sunrise shot with it being on the East coast but it also makes an interesting subject during the day. We've had a few very hot sunny days here this week- it was all blue hazy skies so not a lot in the way of photographic opportunities, but it was lovely to see people enjoying the beach and cooling off in the sea. I love the sparkles on the sea on a bright sunny day.
(I THINK I got permission from the pretty girl in the pink swimsuit to photograph them. I was some distance away but we had a vague waving/pointing at the camera/distant thumbs up kind of exchange. I was pleased to see when I zoomed in she is looking straight at me and smiling :) )
Happy Weekend everyone!

I've decided to take a year off from photography. I've certainly had a number of setbacks photographically over the last year and also I've lost my motivation to pick up a camera. Maybe a long period without picking up a camera will help me find a new appreciation.
Somewhat ironically the sun was quite nice this evening so I shot this last one as the sun sets over Ilkley Moor. I am still judging competitions and enjoying looking at others images though which is something !

Here's how it goes in my neck of the woods....
1. watch the local news to see if the impending thunderstorm will stop the launch.
2. Wait until about a minute and a half before lift off, then go outside and take a few practice shots."
3. Watch the shuttle rise into the sky and fly over the ocean.
4. Watch the tiny, orange speck of flame until there's separation and it disappears.
5. Grab some more shots of the shuttle trail.
6. Go back in the AC and cool off again!
