Olympus Photowalk Covehithe Suffolk - The Beach

On Saturday Olympus held a photo-walk in Covehithe in Suffolk. There were two representatives from Olympus leading the photowalk and 14 keen photographers, quite a few from the Cambridge Camera Club. 

One of the hopes was to be shown how to use the Live Bulb and Live Composite modes on many of the current OMD Cameras. 

I was not disappointed. 

We were split into two groups and Dave was our Leader. He first took us down to the beach and showed the principles of this technique. 

Basically the camera takes a photo and then records light changes as they happen, based on the original exposure. This is unique (I think) to Olympus Cameras. 

I can see me using this in a creative way going forward. 

As we were working in bright sunshine we had to use tripods and Big Stopper Filters to create long exposures. 

It was a great day though we had hoped for more wind and clouds to use show the effect of even better. The first six photos below show this effect. 

We then moved down the beach to see the cliffs. Beautiful Colours.

The beach walk was in the morning. There will be another post about the afternoon were we spent time at the Church of St Andrew in the Hamlet itself.

If you look on wikipedia for a description of the Hamlet you will find ...
