A few images from a very misty walk around my Cambridgeshire village, Toft, on a very misty Remembrance Sunday morning. I managed a very distant image of a Hare and was thrilled to see very large flocks of finches including lots of Yellow Hammers and Reed Buntings and even larger flocks of mixed Redwings and Fieldfare (next post!!).

Close-up at Botanical Gardens
I was using an Olympus OM-System 50mm 1.8 legacy lens (lefthand images) on Saturday at the Gardens as I needed some images for a talk I am giving next week. I took most shots with a comparison image using my Fuji dedicated 50mm Zeiss Touit lens (righthand images). I always enjoy the soft pastel colours and backgrounds from the Olympus lens (both are used wide open).

Autumn at the Botanic Gardens
Beautiful warm sunshine for our CCC visit to the Cambridge Botanic gardens. Not the best autumn for colours but there were some beautiful vivid areas of orange and yellow.

Happisburgh Beach
During our time on Happisburgh beach, the skies changed from uniform grey to give some cloud structures, conveniently centred on the remains of the sea defences. Played with shutterspeeds and water splashes - series are taken at 1/60th,1/8th and 1.5 seconds.

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
