Update: I now run regular workshops at Dungeness which include an evening painting-with-light session. For more information, please visit the workshop page, here.
With plans to run a workshop here, I visited these areas once again, over 2 days, earlier in the month. I found some new locations too including church ruins which will be fantastic when painted with light at night. My attentions, however, were firmly fixed on Dungeness and so I spent a very pleasant few hours on this vast shingle bank from late afternoon to twilight. The subjects in question were the old, rotting fishing boats that, with their decaying hulls and nearby fisherman's huts, make for great subjects to shoot.
And then sunset gave me innumerable photo opportunities. I would have liked more cloud cover to add more atmosphere and drama and I can imagine that even on the most uninspiring, grey days, strong images are more than possible, especially in black and white.
On another day I re-visited Romney Marsh. a wonderfully atmospheric location which I had the pleasure in being commissioned to shoot for Country Walking magazine. Please click on the link to read the article on my Publications page.
I'll be running a short, late afternoon workshop at Dungeness for Rye and District Camera Club over the next few months and have plans to run others. Should you be interested, please register your interest by contacting me at either rmcanis@msn.com or Tel: 07939 117570.
