As boxing day comes to a close, we enter that weird twilight zone between Christmas and new year where we all lose track of what day it is, so on this particular boxing day (Tuesday?) that I take advantage of the first day of dry weather in a few days, very keen to commence the first of my ‘compact chronicle’ outings.
Armed with the Lumix LX7, a wander on a local shingle beach at low tide seems the ideal way to begin my latest photographic escapade.
After all the hype of the festive build up, this boxing day exudes a quiet lull after the storm feeling, the only sound, the crunch of shingle from my sturdy walking boots and the odd squawk of an attention seeking gull.
Normally I would pay attention to low shots of the boats stranded on the grey low tide sludge,instead I look to the smaller details of the shoreline, the macro mode of this little camera is just the tool for these compositions.
With the first of my chronicles under my belt, I am looking forward to the twists and turns that 2024 will bring.
