All last Tuesday I’d kept an eye on the weather forecast. Would we have cloud; would we have a good sunset? Two nights before it had been glorious. But how many times can you take photos of a red ball in the sky? You need cloud, cloud disperses the glow, makes it more interesting.
Finally, the forecast predicted cloud-cover at sunset. But would it be too cloudy? As I left my house the air tasted of mist. I crossed the bridge, mist obscuring the further reaches of the river. I took a deep breath. What sort of photos would I get.
I got these:

Brilliant, aren’t they. And some of those I posted in Twitter were picked up by people far more experienced, with far better equipment than me. That’s chuffdom, that is.

Absolutely brilliant, yet!
Chuffdom – adding that to my file.
And stop it. Equipment does not make the photographer.

No, but Dale, have you seen some of those photos? And I don’t mean the ones that over-edited, they’re gross, you need sunglasses to look at them. But, oh, there is subtlety there.

Yours, you mean? I’ve seen quite a few. And over-edited, when done for the sake of art, can be fabulous. Other times, it looks too fabricated and unnatural. I know there is.

Example. I took photos of last night sunset. Another on twitter did ditto, from the other side of Breydon. Mine are all pastel colours. His are vivid orange. Vivid didn’t happen, not last night.

Which is an amazing thing, I say. Vivid doesn’t always have to happen.

No, not at all. I just find his style of photos OTT.
Besides, I think some of my photos have been picked up by two of our local papers. Reporter on the spot, eh. We had a full-sailed schooner in port today. And I got he scope of the photos. Which I tweeted with write up and someone retweeted to out local papers
