RYE PIER - SAT 23RD JAN 2021

If you get one good picture a night, you can feel good.

If you stay sitting on the couch at home… you can only dream about what could have been. (Or, look at everyone else’s pictures)

Again, I would like to thank all my volunteer subjects on the pier tonight. Except the man whom walked in front of me with his bald head. Luckily for me I saw him coming, out of the corner of my eye, and I managed to capture the shot and have been able to crop it beautifully. I’ve included the original shot, and you can see the added benefit of post cropping a picture. You can also see my disappointment at missing out on the moon in this picture.

Photo Tips: There are many different types of lenses, and they all have different uses. (more on this to come later) Tonight’s pictures were taken using an 18-35mm lens. Opened right up, at 18mm, the width of the picture is so much wider than I get using my other lenses...

Rye Pier - Thu 3rd Dec 2020

If you can capture just one different picture each shoot, it is all worthwhile..

These seagulls all went crazy when a boat came into the ramp, then they settled near me ?

I saw these divers walking from the carpark to the pier when I ran to get in behind them…

Then, I spotted these 2 all alone on the beach.

Rye Pier - Wed 2nd Dec 2020

At home, and with Sunset time fast approaching, as I do when hesitating, I walked out first into the front yard, and then the back yard, and looked at the clouds and if there was any wind…

With 30 minutes to go till sunset, and a 10 minute trip to the Pier, do I go tonight or not?
