Nine years ago it was the Fife coast during our first full day on holiday there…

Maybe it’s living as far as it’s possible to get from the sea (in the UK anyway) but I never tire of being at the coast…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was Roker Pier and Lighthouse, on a very blustery day!

The seabirds definitely add to the picture but a just a bit too far away for me, with my limited bird identification skills, to tell what they are.

Another pic of the pier and lighthouse, from the same day, can be found here.

Throwback Thursday… Turning of the Tide, Sidmouth

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

12 years ago it was this seascape at Sidmouth in Devon, using (I think) an ND 3.0 (10-stop) filter to lengthen the exposure time.

Editing this pic in Lightroom reminded me (again) of how dirty the sensor on the D600 used to get… definitely the worst camera I’ve ever owned for that!
