Rock Shelf at Kimmeridge Bay

By Nigel | Published March 16, 2010

On my coastal outings around Kent and Sussex I have yet to find an area that contains any large rock formation or slabs of rock, I am not saying there are not any but as of yet I have not discovered any, however on the short visit I had to Dorset I was falling over them and my head was swinging from left to right trying to decide which would provide me with some nice lead in lines and subject matter.

Here is a shot from Kimmeridge Bay which will be visited again in the near future when hopefully I will not be drenched from the rain and constantly cleaning my front element of the lens.

At the time I was there the tide was on its way in so I did not want to tempt fate and wander too far around the bay, not being familiar with the high water position and which part of the bay area accessible in between high and low water. For the next visit I will be spending a day at the bay and I will hopefully arrive at high tide which will give me plenty of time to study the shoreline from a high vantage point and ensure I can return safely from any where I decide to venture.

Lulworth Cove

By Nigel | Published March 15, 2010

As mentioned in the previous post from Dorset trip I have quite a few images left to add to the blog, however not wanting to place them in one large blog post I will be producing several posts for the trips images,here are some shots from Lulworth Cove area.

First off we have a panorama of Lulworth Cove from a high vantage point above the cove.

I took this shot sometime between sunrise and the time that my stomach started to remind me that I had not taken advantage of the full english breakfast that was waiting for me in the B&B that I was staying in… because I wanted to see if the sunrise was going to offer any opportunities for me from this location I hauled myself out of bed 45 minutes prior to the sunrise which meant the kitchens at the B&B were not in full swing. However since the room was equipped with tea making facilities I was in a semi-human state for the couple of hours I was away from the B&B.

The morning light did offer up some nice light however it was very short lived and was over in a matter of minutes. Below is one of the first shots of the morning foray.

As the light changed and the colour started to disappear from the sky I wandered back to the middle of the cove and my interest was peaked by a stream that was emptying into the cove, I sat on the nearby steps watching the stream for several minutes looking for something or some position I could utilise in a shot.

I will add an additional post before the week is out that will contain additional image from the cove and other areas that were visited.

thanks for taking the time to visit the blog.
