Waterfront buildings on the River Wensum in Norwich, photographed on an unseasonably warm 18 March this year… also the very first image from a charity shop find Canon EOS 5, a camera I coveted in the early 1990s when using a Canon EOS 1000FN.

An image from a recent(ish) trip to Norfolk… I absolutely love the ONDU 6×6 Pocket pinhole camera but no matter how often I think I’m too close to my subject, I’m never close enough!

The Fujica Pocket 350 Zoom is a quirky little camera and will be described in detail in a future post.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Eight years ago it was the Norfolk coastline…

Happisburgh lighthouse must be one of the most photographed structures in Norfolk and I certainly couldn’t resist pointing my camera at it…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Four years ago it was the seaside town of Sheringham in Norfolk.

I can’t remember where we were staying but this image was definitely taken whilst wandering to or from the pub (probably the Windham Arms… they serve an excellent pint!)
