High Contrast Monochrome at Hunstanton

One of the topics during our day in Hunstanton was High Contrast Mono, which perfectly suited the very sunny day that we had. These are my favourites.

New Year's Day at Titchwell

 On New Year's Day, ten RPS Nature Group Members, partners and friends spent the day photographing the many species present at Titchwell admid crowds of bird watchers there to start their 2020 new bird lists. The day started overcast with poor light conditions for bird photography but the cloud gradually lifted to give a sunny afternoon with perfect lighting on the beach. I think curlew are may favourite in flight birds but the Oystercatcher came a close second. Lots of waders and ducks to test the camera focusing plus a very obliging Little Egret. Even a glimpse of an Otter but it was so quick as it undulated through the water.

Hunstanton Cliffs, Beach and Fulmars

We were very lucky to have a beautiful sunset for the end of our RPS day in Hunstanton. I spent a time photographing the Fulmars as they flew in and out from the cliff - their straight wing flight reveals their close relationship to albatrosses. Later views of the cliffs and wonderful rock shapes and colours took over. Even found someone with a Field Camera on the beach.

All the Fun of the Fair at Hunstanton

One of our subjects for the RPS walk around Hunstanton was 'A Long Way from Summer' and certainly the Fun Fair in its winter state emplifies this well.
