What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

13 years ago it was the Sidmouth Folk Festival in Devon.

Not being a huge fan of folk music I mainly just wandered and snapped away but I did enjoy this chap…

I didn’t get much use out of the Panasonic Lumix GX1, I found the 16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor to be far too noisy for my liking and I remember wishing I’d stuck with the 12MP Lumix GF1.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

12 years ago it was Morecambe Bay and the distant Heysham Nuclear Power Station.

The light was constantly changing thanks to a combination of clouds and a strong wind and had we not been on our way elsewhere I would’ve spent a lot more time here (although I can’t remember exactly where ‘here’ was!)

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was boats on the River Trent at Sawley in Derbyshire.

Actually the River Trent forms the border between Derbyshire and Leicestershire here but I think Petrel No.1 is far enough across to still be in Derbyshire!
