Mablethorpe SandRacing - Pictorial Shots

The very bright sunlight gave some great opportunites for high key images such as the first image of Sarah, John and Phil waiting for the racing to start. I also liked the images from my final position where we could get the bikes with a sea and surf background.

Sand Racing at Mablethorpe 13th November

Six CCC Members decided to go to the Sand Racing on Mablethorpe Beach on Sunday. It was a bright sunny day so plenty of light to play with. The challenge was to get good combinations of bikes, light in the eyes and a sense of movement. Individually achievable but getting all three eluded me in most shots. Here a few 'classic' shots that I liked (more 'pictorial' shots to follow)

Supermoon Views at Mablethorpe

When I realised we would be at the seaside for the Supermoon on November 13/14th, I wondered what I could get in the foreground to give an idea of scale. Difficult as nothing is far enough away to get in focus with the moon but here some attempts as the moon rose on November 13th evening, changing from red to white as it rose higher.

 Monday was cloudy but I managed to catch the moon setting on Tuesday morning and again looked for things to give scale. Using 560mm lens equivalent allowed an idea of the size of this supermoon - the largest and brightest since 1948 apparently.

Mablethorpe: Beach Huts and Starfish at Sunrise

Mablethorpe is replacing some of its older beach huts with new ones - available to buy for £12000. I had fun photographing along the promenade as the sun came up and also on the beach where large numbers of starfish and razor shells had been washed up.

Mablethorpe Evening

It was still raining in Lincolnshore when we arrived yesterday and went out to find a meal in Mablethorpe. Made for great reflection images but made keeping the lens dry difficult so some introduced artifacts in the later photos.
