Hunstanton Sunset and Xmas Fair

I stayed 3 nights in Hunstanton over the weekend and took my camera for a walk each evening - two of them had good sunsets (usual quiz question - in what East coast seaside town can you view the sun setting over the sea?) The first one is particularly curious with a bird apparently sitting on the sun! The long exposures were all done with the Olympus live composite facility which builds up the image in 1 second exposures on top of an initial exposure. During some of these I moved the camera.

 

Fiery Sunset at Paxton Pits after a Rainy Day

After a very wet morning and early afternoon, the clouds cleared to give a fiery sunset over Heronry Lake at Paxton.

Sunset Walk Along Clyde

I walked along the south bank of the Clyde from our Travelodge, recording the changes in light and colour as the sun set. For the walk back along the north bank, most of the light had left the sky giving long exposures and great reflections.

Gunton Beach Sunset

For our final evening in Suffolk on Saturday, we visited Gunton beach for the sunset. I was using my Fuji compact (1,2) and Olympus with 12-42 lens (3,4,5) plus I  borrowed Barry's full-spectrum infrared camera(6,7,8,9) .  Late in the evening, the full spectrum camera gave very similar colouring to normal cameras with their infrared etc blocking filters but allowed faster shutterspeeds. Not sure which member of the party was being beamed up in image 9 but we seemed to have our full complement at Breakfast on Sunday (though we couldn't confirm that Ian, who was in self-catering accommodation, was safe).

Southwold Evening Shots

Monday evening after dinner in Southwold, we visited the beach for sunset and the last colour in the reflections and in the sky, not forgetting a few shots of the Pier and Beach huts.
