Today’s photo

6 January 2013 / Photography, Walking / iPhone camera apps, iPhone photography, Photos 2013

I went for a short walk around the village today – to try out my iPhone 5 camera and to find a photo for today.

I managed to make at least one image every day during 2012 and I thought I would try something different for 2013, however it looks like I am hooked on getting something “on film” everyday – so it looks like I will try and do it again this year.

Last year the project was done with an iPhone 4 and most of the posts were edited and sent using the phone. This year I will be using an iPhone 5 – it has a better quality camera so I do plan to revisit some of last years shots to see if I can improve on them.

Viking Way

We had a plan today to walk a couple of miles along the Viking Way and take some photographs. However the weather fixed those plans.

So as with other walking trips it included coffee and cakes.

We did get out and walk a little around the start of the Viking Way.

…and a wet group shot!

We went out to watch the sunset – and also saw an RAF Sea King helicopter, which came in really close to us and hovered.

Walk along the coast

I I went for a walk along the coast near Cromer today.

There is a community of working fishermen in Cromer operating from the beach. They have an interesting collection of rusty tractors to pull their boats up high on the beach.

Coffee Break

18 November 2012 / Outdoor Gear, Walking / coffee, lightweight stove, lightweight walking, MSR titanium mug, outdoor gear, walking

I didn’t take a backpack on my walk this morning, I wore my winter walking coat and carried just enough equipment for a coffee break on the walk back – well actually it was hot chocolate.

I used a stile as a convenient seat and got my meths stove out of the wind behind the fence post.

I use a strip of heavy duty aluminium foil, cut from a tray an oven joint was cooked in. The foil is shaped into a “coil” so it fits snuggly around the titanium mug with lid, making an effective wind shield.

The plastic mug fits over the Sigg bottle and the folded up stove is stored under the bottle, the titanium mug slides onto the bottom of the bottle.

The other sundries fit into the front pocket: spork, fire steel, mug lid, meths bottle, some paper towel in a small ziplock bag for cleaning up and the rubbish.

I carried my sitmat in a jacket pocket.

A walk to Potterhanworth

18 November 2012 / Lincolnshire, Photography, Walking / Lincolnshire, Photos 2012, walking

It was a good for walking, sunny and dry so I took a couple of hours out to walk to Potterhanworth Woods and back. The low sun in a blue sky, meant that with care to reduce the flare in the lens, I could get some high colour images of the autumn leaves. There was also some overnight frost which was still in the shadows.
