Walking along the coast when the weather starts to get a bit better and Winter loosens its icy grip, the days turning far more Springlike, can be a real joy. So can walking around without the big and heavy DSLR gear I normally use on a day to day basis. I like to travel light on such days and normally opt for the Fuji X100 and maybe a film SLR, both fitting comfortably in my ONA Union Street camera bag, ( a review of which in the not too distant future)

| Calm at Wells-Next-The-Sea |
When the weather is so calm in the harbour at Wells-Next-The-Sea you often get lovely reflections, all of which are just begging to be photographed. When taking these images look for some great lead in lines which will help the viewers eye travel throughout the frame. Images like the one above make for great stock photographs as they are very inviting, blue skies and calm water make for a tranquil photo and can sell regularly to big stock companies.

| Brooding clouds at High Tide |
The tidal level changes very quickly along the coast and as a photographer you don't want to get caught out by this and be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Always check the tide times before venturing out for the day and if for some reason you don't have them to hand play it safe and stick to the paths and car parks.
