Photography from Canvey Island photographer Camera, Photos and words
So, here we are. It’s March and we have a foot of snow outside, temperatures of -6 and as expected, everything’s ground to a halt. Roads are impassable, no public transport and no schools open. How do they manage to keep things going in other countries?
Autumn in the new forest is always a treat, there’s fewer people around for starters, and the leaves and autumnal colours are much easier on the eye than the great green swathes of summer. Always plenty to do or see, and the pubs/restaurants serve some of the best food in the UK.
OK, so it’s not the best photo I’ve ever taken technically, it was after all grabbed during a brisk walk along the seafront at Southend on Sea, and a damp freezing fog had just started rolling in from the water on the only camera I had available at the time, the trusty iphone 6. Now we all know that in low light, it’s not the best you’re going to see, but it was in reality pretty bright out. Nevertheless, the fog has reduced the contrast far better than I could have done in post production, giving the image a somewhat surreal, almost watercolour like effect. I’d promised myself that only my best images would get uploaded here (unlike my Flickr account which has a lot of painful reminders of amateur errors) but there’s just something about this one that I keep coming back to. Despite it’s appearance, I can assure you this one is straight out of the phone, no editing whatsoever.

Bank Holiday in the UK, and unusually, the sun was out. Whitstable was absolutely packed with visitors enjoying the vast selection of seafood, oysters, and refreshing ales.

Half term has been and gone, just a fading memory of lay ins, not having to think about meetings, or pre-meeting meetings and days out. Weather held nicely so we went to tropical wings, out local Zoo.
Posted this up a month ago on YouTube, but never updated/added it here. Had a great Holiday this year in Olu Deniz, Turkey.
We weren;t really sure what to expect as we usually go for the livelier resorts like Marmaris but after 2 weeks baking in the sunshine I’m hooked now. We were quite literally 5 minutes away from the Blue Lagoon, where we not only saw turtles, but managed to get up close to them as well !
