2010 Projects

Photographically 2009 was in many ways an important year for me. From walking atop Bempton Cliffs to view the spectacle of thousands of Northern Gannets, Kittiwakes, Puffin and Fulmar soaring high above the ocean or nesting on the rock face, to driving up to the Scottish Highlands to capture Osprey fishing at 5am in zero light and pouring rain and then finally fulfilling my long time ambition to visit Bass Rock - all of these were a first for me and I was excited, awed and humbled by these experiences.

But that was last year - this year I have some exciting projects in the pipeline, but first, a quick plug for my Facebook site recently set up:

LCC-Images on Facebook

this Facebook site is a small project grown off the back of my main website, I hope it grows over time and I'll be adding new content, pictures and videos when I can, but back to the pipeline, I am going to be experimenting with the art of “time lapse’ photography, using my trusty D3 and intervalometer, I hope to capture some stunning time lapse wildlife images which I will share both on the blog and my main site.

My other project, which I am thinking will run for this year, is a foray into wildlife documentary making, something I have never tried before but I have a story and location in mind and hope to start some work on this soon, when my newly acquired Sony HDRXR520VE High Definition Handycam Camcorder arrives - I’ll be posting a review of this too once I have used it for some time as that is another project I’m hoping to start up - a reviews section on this blog.

So lots of stuff going on for me this year, and along with these projects, my day job, and my new family arrival I still have to find time for Skomer, Kent, North Wales and others.

Thanks to everyone who reads this blog and keeps up to date with LCC-Images here’s wishing you all a belated happy and prosperous 2010.
