Taken on vacation trips
When we arrived, the windy conditions at St Ives, Cornwall made photography tricky. I had to be wary of the sand particles being blown into my camera while changing lenses. At the same time, the strong winds of up to 55 miles per hour made standing and even hand-holding the camera a definite challenge. The surfers that we encountered on the beach had a fun time on the other hand, enjoying the strong waves brought about by the extremely blustery conditions.
The weather we experienced in Cornwall on our latest trip was one of the coldest and wettest in all the trips I have made to the region. We were fortunate to get a day of relatively good sunshine (in between taking cover in our rental car from the spells of strong winds and rain). Arriving at Sennen Cove, we were impressed by the strong waves crashing into the coast. I thought the lighting was just perfect to capture the power of the waves exploding into the rocky coast.
The weather on our most recent trip to the UK was challenging for photography. Most of the days were extremely blustery, cold and rainy. In fact, there was a day where we could hardly take any pictures because of the unrelenting rain! Just when we had packed up our cameras for good on the day before our departure, blue and sunny skies greeted us on our drive back to London. Our original intention was to grab some lunch and do some shopping at the Designer Outlet at Wembley. In the end, we ended up taking pictures. I did not have my DSLR kit handy and had to make do with the Canon G7X Mark II. With the kind of bright lighting we experienced, I could use the lowest ISO setting possible and avoid noise typically associated with smaller sensor cameras.
