First days of 2010.
My friends Richard & Sarah Marie had travelled up from Kent for an impromptu new year with friends of theirs living in Norfolk. As a result a surprise opportunity to catch up with them arose. We were meant to go out to dinner with them in December on a visit to Kent but that was cancelled. It was also nice to catch up with Helen who they were staying with, though we got some strange looks from folks in Norwich Riverside as we tried to persuade our P&S cameras to stand on a post and take a timed group shot!
A day later with Susan preparing for a series of nightshifts I grabbed the proper camera and headed on out to Horsey Gap. The beaches at Horsey host a large quantity of grey seals who come to give birth. Friends and acquaintances alike have been posting pics of the seals on a local bulletin board and I decided it was about time I took a look myself. My 70-300VR was not taken to Scotland as I did not think I would have any use for it (and I was right) but now was its turn.
The pictures were okay but circumstances and incompetence (I hadn’t realise the VR was switched off) conspired to limit my success. Even so, it was a decent trip out, a nice bit of exercise and an opportunity to shoot something I don’t normally do.
