We decided to go for a walk over at Cromer so I packed my Fuji EDC and off we went.
Wandering along the promenade from the gardens, I had to grab a shot to see if I could get some movement in the water. The built-in ND filter of the Fuji was engaged and the shutter slowed down to 1/30sec hand held and the following image was in the bag…
Some seagulls were fighting over some scraps of food on the beach so I left the shutter is a slow speed and grabbed a shot.
We were shocked to see how much damage the sea had done to the sea defences and some metallic supporting structures that has necessitated the closure of some of the access points to the beach.
This one below and the one opposite were focal point for our sunrise trip back in February.
We walked on and I thought this food van looked good as a snap.
You can’t visit Cromer without doing a shot of the pier.
As we got closer to the pier, we looked over the promenade wall and I grabbed some more slower shutter shots of the inbound waves crashing against the wall.
Some lovely flowers were on the slope as we walked past and had to be photographed.
We walked past the pier and I grabbed this shot of several seagulls sitting on the promenade wall
We walked past the beach huts and I grabbed some shots of the huts with reflections in the windows. Street photography coastal style!
I love this blue tractor and photography it nearly every time we’re in Cromer.
The view looking back at the pier was lovely so I had to take an image here.
I spotted a couple sitting down just taking in the view and loved this shot.
We walked past Cromer church so I had to grab a shot – this is where my Mum and Dad got married in 1967.
At 50m, it is the tallest church in East Anglia and the highest tower in Norfolk, and dates back to medieval times. The name ‘Cromer’ means Lake frequented by cows.
Next up we decided to have a fish and chip supper courtesy of Mary Jane’s and once we’d eaten our supper and survived the onslaught of aggressive pigeons begging for food, I took this image of Cromer Pier which I really like.
I think the colour have turned out well, the late in the day timing meant no one on the promenade and the curvy shapes of the steps in the foreground works well.
My final shot was as we made our way back to the car – the evening sun rays were looking good against the warm but cloudy sky.
For a Sunday trip out, this was awesome, sea air, lovely weather, a lovely walk with my wife, and some good captures.
Onwards and upwards…
