Down town

We had a lazy day yesterday, which was a welcome change.

Wasn’t long before I got the urge to get out of the house though, plus nothing inside was inspiring me to photograph for my 366 project.

Grabbed hat, gloves, coat and camera and set out for a walk down town.

Not the town center where all the shops are of course, but around some of the areas leading into the town.

I took two lenses with me; the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8EX and my Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX, which I attached first to try to get some different perspectives.

Ended up walking a lot further than I had planned and was properly tired when I arrived home.

Was pleased with some of the shot I came back with.

Hope you like them too.

Twenty minutes

‘At rest’

More pics below.

Grabbed a quick twenty minutes photography after dropping my wife at the train station.

The light looked really promising, there way no way I was going to miss it.

I headed straight for Hastings old town and the beach where the fishing fleet resides. Light changes fast, there was no time to lose.

Grabbed my trusty little Fuji X10, my carry everywhere camera, and went about snapping as fast as I could getting the best compositions I could find.

Twenty minutes later and the best of the light gone, I headed back home to sort out the kids for school.

Posted one for Images not Words, below are the best of the rest.

Old Roar Gill

‘Old Roar Gill’

A birthday party last night meant returning today to collect the car.

With coat, hat, gloves and hiking shoes I decided to wander through Alexander Park up towards Old Roar Gill.

One camera, one lens and a Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod.

Ended up walking for nearly three hours in the mud, rain and hail.

Was a productive photo walk nonetheless.

I think this shot encapsulates the mood.
