Erratum

I’m afraid that I didn’t do North Devon’s Hartland Quay nearly enough justice in the book. Sorry.

Awesome photos Mark – what sort of camera are you using?

I’m using a Nikon D80 – it cost a packet so I hope it might take the odd good photo!

I’m pretty annoyed by the ‘fringing’ effect that these photos have (vignetting) – I was trying out a new filter, which clearly wasn’t a success.

Thanks,

Mark

Just ‘googled’ the D80 – yep, that costs a packet!!! Still, results are worth it looking through the blog so money well spent. If you use it from the Kayak, do you use a waterproof housing of any sort?

I’ve only recently got the D80 – for the book, I used an Olympus e500 – this isn’t a very good digital SLR but it is at least light and easy to stow, unlike the D80 which is like a housebrick.

I use either an Ortlieb bag or Watershed bag to keep the camera dry in the cockpit – both 100% dry except when open!

About this blog

During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote 'South West Sea Kayaking', a detailed guide to the coasts and islands of South West England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight.

'Savage Shores: Britain's Coastal Environment' is the working title of the book currently being researched and written by my wife Heather and myself for Pesda Press. The book aims to explain the climate, geology, landforms, natural history and human history of the coastal environment to walkers, sea kayakers and others enjoying this wonderful part of Britain's natural heritage.

This blog is intended to keep you up to date with our progress and adventures in working on the book.
