Norfolk tour - Misty Morning at Wells

There was a heavy mist on Sunday morning so I took an early morning stroll on Wells Beach. I have still not worked out whether it was the full moon or early sun through the fog. A couple of shots at the end of Pinewoods where we spent 2 nights.

 

Wells-Next-The-Sea

 On the last morning of our short Norfolk break, we visited Wells and tried the last of the techniques on Jonathan's list - various camera movements and double exposures. The first is an in-camera double exposure, moving the camera during one of the exposures. The second image is a composite of an ICM and a static shot.

Other images of the beach to compare with previous visits. At low tide there is vastly more expanse of sands exposed and the isolated sand dunes are very small now compared with 2008 (https://pin-sharp.blogspot.com/2008/10/shifting-sands.html). The lagoon is now dry at low tide in contrast to 2009 (https://pin-sharp.blogspot.com/2009/09/september-summer-day-at-wells.html).

 

Wells -Next-The-Sea and Blakeney Point

On Wednesday, we met Chris at Wells Beach and walked along to Holkham for lunch and back - note the crowded beaches! In the afternoon, we took a boat trip out to the seals and terns. Three species of Tern had arrived during the past few days as the wind swung southerly, Common Tern, Little Tern and Sandwich Tern (Arctics not yet arrived)

Wells at Dusk and Agatha Christie on Cromer Pier

I spent a very pleasant afternoon in Wells-next-Sea showing Julia's classes the best of Lightroom. It was  dusk by the time we finished so a couple of shots of the harbour. I thought it would be good to unwind with an hour on the pier at Cromer, only to discover that they were filming a new Agatha Christie series for TV there so there was no access to the area. The Partners in Crime six-part adventure series stars comic actor David Walliams and Jessica Raine and is due to be shown next year. They were using some incredibly bright lights to illuminate the front of the pier.

Using Shift and Tilt Lens

Tried out my Canon Tilt and Shift lens on the beach huts at Wells.


On the left, the beach huts when taken without any shift appear to lean backwards as they are taken from below

With the lens shifted, the verticals are corrected and the beach huts are now upright and photo appears to be taken from a ladder at the height of the decking.

Shifting Sands

The first evening of our recent camera club weekend in Wells was very windy but clear after a very wet day. The shifting sands made wonderful patterns
