Welcome!

It’s 2021, like most we have spent the last 18 months isolated during the pandemic. In June of 2020 we sold our RV after discovering that Bindi, our dog, was not going to be happy traveling. Colin is continuing with his photography and we are planning to refocus our website on photography, starting with a post about a photography workshop in the Outer Banks he recently attended. Our RV travel blog posts will remain on the website, just use the 'Interactive Maps' button in the menu bar if you want to look back at our travel posts. Expect the name of the website to change to reflect the new focus.

A blog post from Colin: Now that our RV travels are over, several of our friends (particularly those not enamored of Facebook) have asked if I would publish some of my photographic efforts on this website.

This will be the first post, showing photographs taken on a 5 day photography workshop I attended in the Outer Banks, North Carolina with 8 other attendees. It was run by David Blecman of Positive Negatives.from 11th to 15th September 2021.

Fishing Piers and Beach

An early morning session at Nags Head beach proved very productive as the light went from blue to orange from pre-dawn to sunrise. Then, later in the week, we visited Avon Pier for some more pier scenes, including some long exposure shots.

Lighthouses

A photographic trip to the Outer Banks wouldn’t be complete without some lighthouse pictures.

We had some discussion about the ethics of using the latest ‘sky replacement’ software to enhance pictures taken on e.g. cloudless days. So I included an example below.
