I've been a bit 'under-the-weather' lately, and this evening was the first time I've been out with my camera in seemingly ages. I've got an almost-permanent pain in my lower back, no doubt caused by lugging this heavy gear around for so long, so I just wandered down to the beach with my Canon 40D and newly-repaired 17-40mm lens, hoping a nice sunset might develop.
These were the best shots I could come up with - some pics of the River Clyne, a small stream which flows into Swansea Bay here at Blackpill, with the sun going down in the background:
While I'm on the subject, here's a little video of the same river I took about a mile upstream last Summer:
Today was the first day, after a long, cold Winter (by our standards) that felt truly Springlike round here, and it was appropriate that I should finally get to see (and hear) my first Swallows of the year, as a small group twittered overhead on my walk down to the shore.
Beautiful landscape images Jeremy! I just love the mix of sky colour with the almost monochrome foreground.
ReplyDeleteI've answered your question re my lens on my blog. Thank you for your kind comments.
Sorry to hear you've been off colour, and suffering with back pain. I used to have a similar problem with back pain until I found an amazing harness which allows me to carry two cameras, or a camera plus binoculars, with ease and comfort. Contact me if you want more information!
Lovely photos Jeremy and the piece of video from last year was so peaceful with the sound of the running water.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read you have been unwell. I know how excruciating back pain can be. I'm sure heavy camera equipment doesn't help and sitting over the computer or laptop doesn't help either I find.
Beautiful sunsets Jeremy and enjoyed the peaceful trickling of the water in the video. Sorry to hear you have been having back trouble, I hope the warmer weather bring some improvement.
ReplyDeleteOh my those images of the sun setting are certainly beautiful Jeremy and I do hope that your back feels much better very soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comments. Funnily enough, my back seems free of pain today for the first time in ages. I suspect it will flare up again as soon as I take the big lens out!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images, Jeremy! The colors are stunning. Glad to hear you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteSuper sunset images love the colours you have captured in your images.
ReplyDeleteGreat sunsets Jeremy. Really like the contrast between grey foreground and red sky. Hope you're feeling better soon.
