Having A Blast At Sennen Cove

Having A Blast At Sennen Cove
The weather we experienced in Cornwall on our latest trip was one of the coldest and wettest in all the trips I have made to the region. We were fortunate to get a day of relatively good sunshine (in between taking cover in our rental car from the spells of strong winds and rain). Arriving at Sennen Cove, we were impressed by the strong waves crashing into the coast. I thought the lighting was just perfect to capture the power of the waves exploding into the rocky coast.

The weather on our most recent trip to the UK was challenging for photography. Most of the days were extremely blustery, cold and rainy. In fact, there was a day where we could hardly take any pictures because of the unrelenting rain! Just when we had packed up our cameras for good on the day before our departure, blue and sunny skies greeted us on our drive back to London. Our original intention was to grab some lunch and do some shopping at the Designer Outlet at Wembley. In the end, we ended up taking pictures. I did not have my DSLR kit handy and had to make do with the Canon G7X Mark II. With the kind of bright lighting we experienced, I could use the lowest ISO setting possible and avoid noise typically associated with smaller sensor cameras.

I am back from a trip to the UK (again). Taking a side trip to Devon & Cornwall with my father after attending a work conference, I retraced the steps of a previous trip to Cornwall in reverse, this time heading westwards from Bath towards St Ives along the A39, a drive that has been described as one of the “greatest driving roads“. Our first stop on this trip was Minehead, which lies on the south bank of the Bristol Channel. We had wanted to take advantage of the proximity of our hotel to the beachfront to take some morning photographs. The constantly changing weather (alternating rapidly between rain and sunshine) made it a tough challenge! Just when we were heading back to our hotel, brilliant sunlight greeted us, flooding the view of the Minehead Railway Station tracks. I love how the backlight rendered the scene almost completely monochromatic, leaving only a light hint of colour in the background of the shot.
