Stunning weather at the weekend. Took this when we had a wee detour on the way home from the Portsoy Boat Festival.

Mooching by the coast .... I love, on this particular beach, how the color of the wet sand contrasts with the flow of the tide .. A spot you don't often get to stand as most times the rage of the ocean would consume you ... The top right dryer patch annoys me but was impossible to take out in...

As I arrived the whole place was bathed in this glorious pre-dawn pink light .. I even had to record a short video reminding myself that my white balance wasn't off ;) A slight breeze was creating patterns in the pool of sea water left behind from the outgoing tide which I kinda liked ...

Simply love the grasses that surround our coastline ..also love the quality of the jpeg files on the Fujifilm cameras ... this was actually 1/15second handheld as well ...

After coming across a little intimate scene I quite liked I setup the Fuji XT1 and waited for the light .... took the odd dander around and generally enjoyed the morning .... About 45 minutes later and just as the sun was rising over the dunes an over-excited pooch rampaged through the scene...

Glad those two clouds decided to make an appearance .... Have a great weekend everyone ...

... Well it's the main reason why I love being outside, the battle with mother nature, be that a subtle one chasing pockets of light, or a full on in your face, your camera is going to die soon, kinda battle ... You can probably guess which one it was on this particular day. Some footage from...

Trying to avoid the wookies ...

Twas only as the first drops of rain started to fall that I remembered just how far the Car Park is at Holkham ....

Overlooking the beach at Portballintrae, on the Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland. Makes a fine (and alternative) walk into the famous Giants Causeway. Stop for ice cream (or a cold beer) and then return for fish and chips. A grand way to spend a summers day I say.

High above the roaring sea nature still finds a way to prosper. I love how, at this time of the year, the edges between the water and the land, burst into colour ....Makes for quite a sight right along the coastline. Fuji XT1 + 18-135mm Formatt Hitech 4 stop ND ISO 200, f/14, 4.1 seconds...

5 second exposure, with a touch of ICM thrown in for good measure, after the sun had set on the North Antrim Coast. Fuji XE2 + 10-24mm 5 Seconds, ISO 200, f/8 cheers, Nige

Last walk before bed .. Crepuscular Fuji X100T, jpeg, b+w (+R) film simulation ...
