GarySmith70's photostream  

We had walked to the end of Southend Pier (over a mile) and this guy was all that way out, fishing..

Might need to view this one Large !

Couldn't keep away from the long exposure !

A very misty morning means that the water and sky seemed to merge into one today.

The industry on the other side of the estuary is invisible, which is ironic as that's what I intended to get a shot of today.

Not 100% sure about how I have placed this in the frame..

Been thinking a lot about photography lately and how I don't seem to be having as much fun with it these days, even to the point where I have sold some of my stuff and was thinking of selling the rest.

I think it's partly because I fixated a bit too much on long exposure photography, which a lot of the time has to fit in around the tide times and weather conditions to get the ideal shot, which makes it a bit rigid (or maybe that's my approach to it ?)

As such, I would like to try some different stuff this year, and one of the things on my list will hopefully be a visit to the WHF in Kent to photograph some of the big cats. Just need a 300mm lens now :)

I imagine the occasional long exposure will still happen as well...

The Barge Pier at Shoeburyness.

Should maybe have hopped over the wall and climbed down onto the beach, but it was freezing out and I couldn't be bothered..

Can't argue with the parking skills..
