Getting ready to sail, River Itchen, 2012
|
I must admit that I love to go out taking pictures by the
water’s edge. The light always feels more luminous and there is plenty to
photograph. Unusual objects, reflections, colours, textures, patinas; they are
all there to be discovered.

Sail reflections, River Itchen, 2012
|
Last night we went down to the River Itchen in Southampton to
take my son dinghy sailing. It was a beautiful, bright warm evening. While he
was out doing some gentle racing in the light breeze we had time to go for a
stroll, enjoy a beer, and take a few pictures.

Unusually these days, my camera last night was my old Lumix LX3,
which gets little use since I got the G3. While I love the flexibility of the
wideangle zoom lens and the non-cropping multiple aspect ratios of this camera,
I really missed the multi-angle viewfinder, speed of operation and the wide
aperture lenses of the G3. If only I could find a suitable pouch for the G3 and
a spare lens, rather than having to sling a camera bag over my shoulder. Does
anyone have a recommendation?
