January 22 ~ Stormy Seas
Managed to get out for sunrise this morning - this is the scene I had before me. The wind was blowing something fierce on the coast, although a few miles inland where we live it was rather calm. The gusts were even knocking my tripod, so I have camera shake in a lot of photos.... despite having a heavy-duty model, the Uniloc 1600.
I was delighted though, as it gave me the kind of photo opportunity that I had been hoping for yesterday. This is more or less taken from the same vantage as the photo I posted yesterday - you can see why they close off the pier when the winds are high!
The wind was coming from the north - boy, was it COLD! It took a good few minutes sitting in the car with the heater on full blast before they thawed out enough for me to drive. The joys of winter!
So glad it's a study day for me today - no need to venture into work. Means I can spend time on my photography and intersperse that with some studying. What a nice combination!
