Post Sunset, Lytham RNLI Jetty, Lancashire

At this time of the year, during the summer months I tend to step back from my own photography and concentrate on other areas of the business such as updating my website, putting together workshops for the following year, writing blogs, creating new presentations for camera club talks (contact me if you are in a camera club and would like me to come and present a talk) and in general, anything other than heading out with a camera.

However occasionally, sitting in front of a computer for 16 hours a day sends me stir crazy and I feel the need to get out and feel the breeze on my face and last night was one such occasion. I am in possession of a lovely piece of kit courtesy of Olympus. They have very kindly loaned me an E-M1 MK2, 7-14mm, 12-40mm, 40-150mm and their 300mm for a month and it goes back to them on Tuesday so last night, with the promise of a decent sunset, I ventured out to my local hotspot, Lytham, which is only twenty minutes away from me and in particular, this lovely wooden jetty.

High tide was schedule for half past midnight but to have it cover the end of the jetty, you need to be there two hours before on average. Sunset was 8.45pm and there was no colour in any case as things turned out however thanks to Southport in the distance and its light pollution, I was able to capture a lovely shot of the water marker (aka lamp stand) set against the bright lights of the coastal town.

I will be writing up a blog complete with some images taken with the Olympus sometime next week. It won't be an indepth review, more of a brief overview of my thoughts in using the camera and the quality of the lenses but for now, here's this shot to whet your appetite. I will still be sticking with my Canon EOS R and have no intention of changing as I love what full frame offers me but you can read my thoughts on the Olympus next week.
