I’ve decided to bring forward this post due to being featured in a very small way in an online magazine.
Featured by Landscape Photography Magazine last night and currently rocking 300+ likes.
I love the east coast. I’ve been visiting since i was young, and it is a bit of a fixture now i have my own children.
I’ve been here 3 times in the last couple of years for various reasons, and took a few photos each time.
Generally i will either go to Hunstanton as a base, or further round the coast to Southwold. depending which i will sometimes stop all the way down on the trip to places like Cromer and Caister.
Hunstanton from near the front shops, very early in the morning.
Sometimes a huge blank slate is great for a shot.
EXIF: f20, 13 seconds, iso100
D3200 with the kit 18-55mm lens.
The rocks out at Old Hunstanton
EXIF: f22, 13 seconds, iso100
D750 with 28-70 Tokina Pro Lens.
Always stay safe. This was on an outgoing tide but still pretty precarious standing on the rocks.
There are some fantastic spots around to work with and would be better on a less overcast day.
There is a wreck on the beach at Hunstanton. The Steam Trawler Sheraton broke free of it’s moorings in 1947 and drifted onto the beach, where the hull still lies.
A quick shot of the Wreck.
I really need to go back here, as i was a little late in the day and the tide had receded.
Further round the coast you have a load of options for days out shooting. Brancaster has some great areas to shoot, Titchwell Marsh if you like birding.
Cromer Pier in Black and White. Really nice contrasts and lines. EXIF: f22, 30 Seconds, iso100
I could shoot these wavebreakers at Caister on Sea All day long.
Lovely tones and some great lines to shoot with.
Long exposures on the waves is great , as they are quite large and do give you a good misty look.
EXIF: f13, 30 Seconds, Iso100
Nikon D3200, 10-20mm Sigma Lens
A straight on shot of the wavebreakers. My favourite. Available as a 16×20 print from me for just £25 inc VAT + delivery. Just send me an email or message. Other sizes available.
One of the old Pillbox Defences. This looks awesome in the early morning sunrise. The waves were crashing over this quite forcefully. There is a bit of colour cast from the filter. This was early days for me with ND filters and daytime long exposure. This can be dealt with to some extent in post, but better quality filters helps as well. EXIF: f18, 45 seconds, ISO100. May even go through end reedit this at some point.
And a single shot with the waves crashing in. EXIF: f18, 1/250th, ISO100
Finally a shot of the constant battle between the shore and the sea. EXIF: f13, 30 Seconds, ISO100
I now have a store for Prints and anything else. Look at the top of the page and click on Shop. If you want to email me for a custom order, or something not in the shop drop me an email.
Finally, have fun and stay safe, and enjoy shooting.
Any suggestions for future blog posts, drop me an email. I will at some point be going into more detail on future posts.
