Since finishing our final event at the beginning of December last year much water has flowed under the bridge but I have had time to reflect on my decision to change direction and I have to say no regrets have surfaced. I never thought adjusting to full retirement would be so difficult but actually things are going quite nicely.

Finally last week I picked up my camera for a couple of sessions on the beach at Aldeburgh in Suffolk, evening and daybreak. Aldeburgh seldom fails to please and last week was no exception. I have read other landscape photographers say just how much being behind the camera takes their mind off just about everything else and I must concur with that. For a few brief hours I was alone with the light, weather and my camera and I made best use I could of what lay before me. Nothing spectacular but I do enjoy the soft tones before sunrise and after sunset. Aldeburgh is perfectly situated facing east to capture the best of the pre-dawn light.

Where i was on the beach the air was clear but a short distance to the south mist was starting to play around the buildings there, quite captivating as I watched, especially when the sun managed to illuminate parts of the scene.

Not sure yet what my next outing will be….I am sure something will arise.
Of course as I am finished attending events I do still have some stock available and if anyone has any interest in acquiring an individual item or a wholesale consideration please do get in touch.
Finally I think it is more than likely that I will close this web site before the end of the year. Time will tell.
