Following a shoot on Saturday I decided to go for a walk in Brightlingsea. I followed the path from behind the Beach Huts along by the water to Arlesford Creek. It was cold but a beautiful day and I was so glad I had taken my camera with me. The light was simply perfect and as I wandered about choosing different clouds to shoot I suddenly spotted a dark swarm on the horizon and realise that a large flock of Geese are on the move and heading my way…..

It is at this point I am regretting only bringing one lens with me! As they swoop and curve over, the noise of them chattering and flapping fills the air around me. On the ground their shadows seem to move in slow motion and remind me of a clip I once saw in a Pink Floyd video of dark aircraft shapes moving as one.

I stand in wonder at the ever changing scenery in front of me..

After putting on a very impressive air display they finally settle down in a field near by.

Then I approach the creek which is still and silent and illuminated like a freshly painted picture.

Essex University

When the snow fell heavily in Essex before Christmas, I wrapped myself up and took my camera and my very cold fingers over to Essex University to take a few shots of the snowy grounds late afternoon. It was bright but freezing and by the end of the afternoon (which admittedly included some slipping around and colourful language ) I had to abandon the trip due to my battery giving up.

The night is darkening round me

by Emily Jane Brontë

The night is darkening round me,

The wild winds coldly blow;

But a tyrant spell has bound me,

And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending

Their bare boughs weighed with snow;

The storm is fast descending,

And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,

Wastes beyond wastes below;

But nothing drear can move me;

I will not, cannot go.

Snowy Wivenhoe

I couldn’t resist taking some photographs of Wivenhoe covered in a blanket of snow. Yesterday morning I put on my Thermals and headed off down to the Quay to take some shots of the boats. The light was beautiful, constantly changing, lots of reflections and powder puff clouds..Please click on this link to see the other pictures I took http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/wivenhoe_in_the_snow

Christmas shopping in Colchester, Essex.

I recently met up with the Wivenhoe Photography group and we decided to go into town to try and capture people out shopping. We met up and all separated in different directions, when you point a camera straight at someone you tend to get a mix of reactions, some people look unhappy about it and avoid you, others move in closer and positively pose…please click on the link to see my other shots.http://www.pbase.com/wakelin/colchester_town Thanks for looking.
