Erosion at Happisburgh

My last recorded visit to Happisburgh was in 2011 and I was amazed to see how much erosion had taken place in 11 years - the previous sea defences are now a tangle of iron and wooden posts. You can see from the aerial views that a whole section of the cliff, including the houses (as in 4th photo) and steps to the beach, is no longer there and the car park has been relocated. The lighthouse is unchanged though now a bit closer to the sea! These are quick monochrome conversions of the jpeg files from my Sony RX100 IR-converted camera so a bit of haloing etc

Cambridge III v North Walsham II

 Yesterday's match was a bit of a challenge for CRUFC's third team playing a fairly local second team - ended up 10-52. It was also a challenge for me as my 100-400 telephoto has not yet dried out so I was using a shorter zoom and one not designed for sports/nature and they were playing on a pitch with a metal barrier all down one side.

Points of View in Histon

Every year, our camera club has a day of photography projects set by the 'winner' of the previous year - the aim therefore is to avoid that first place!!. Penny set the topics in her home village of Histon and our topics were Creatures, Pub Life, Trees, Entrances and Colour. Here some images taken on the day that either did not fit any category but I couldn't resist or are 'rejects'.

Infrared at RSPB Sandy

Friday was a great day to use infrared with the clouds constantly changing and the very clear conditions helping definition in the foliage. Taken with converted Sony RX100

Experimenting with 'Infrared' Filters

 Malcom has kindly lent me some screw-on red filters with different wavelengths to simulate using a converted camera with an infrared- sensitive sensor.. The first six  were taken with a 680nm filter on my Fuji X100V - not a strong infrared effect but able to easily handhold. (1-6: ISO 3200 and the noise has not been removed' 1/30th sec F8). The last image is with the 850nm giving the characteristic white foliage but even at F2 difficult to get enough light to handhold so more trials needed with tripod etc (ISO 3200 F2 1/60th).
