Sunset Old Winchester Hill

After what had seemed a very long week in work, it was finally time to head off out with our cameras once again, this time our trip would take us down the A3 heading towards Old Winchester Hill

This location overlooks farmland and hillsides for as far as the eyes can see, and that this time of year can offer great views of the sun going down, however on this occasion as you can we where unlucky with clouds rolling in.

But as Photographers, this is all part of the fun of trying to capture that Just Great Shot.

 

After The Rain

Okay so it’s an Easter Weekend which can only mean one thing, a day spent dodging the rain whilst trying to enjoy a Bank Holiday Monday.

Here at JustGreatShots Photography, we had arranged a group day out at Bosham Harbour, Where members of our Facebook Group JustGreatShots Photography Workshops could all try their hands at Long Exposure \ Seascape Photography at high tide.

 

We may not have had the weather, but we still had a great afternoon out trying to capture those Just Great Shots

 

 

A Trip To The Funfair

So a trip to the funfair how could anyone say no, so with camera gear all packed and ready we head off down the A3 towards Southsea to meet up with a group of photographers to try and capture and sunset behind the big wheel at Clarence Pier, Portsmouth.

We leave home to drive down the A3 in the pouring rain, keeping our fingers crossed that the weather will improve by the time we arrive at Southsea

On arriving at the funfair, we were happy to see that the rain had stopped and the sun was trying to shine, so with our camera’s at the ready we started to capture all the fun at the fair

 

Trip to Gosport

Our Gosport trip started with the alarm clock going off at 5am on Sunday the 25th March, which would have normally been ok. If it wasn’t for British Summer Time kicking in overnight, meaning the clocks forward overnight, with our bodies still thinking it’s 4am we roll out of bed and get ready to watch the sun coming up over Portsmouth.

The plan for this trip was to pop over to Gosport and meet up with a group of other photographers and capture the sun coming up behind the Spinnaker Tower Portsmouth, so with camera gear all packed we head off down the A3 and arrive in Gosport just before 6.30am for a 6.55 sunrise.

As you can see from the above photos we were unlucky with the sunrise on this occasion, but this didn’t spoil our morning out meeting up with others, we just changed our focus to Long Exposure Photography and playing with LEE Graduated Filters.

 

Trying our hand’s at Rugby

Ok’ay let me start off by painting the picture, it’s snowing with a wind chill factor of -3c and we get a phone from my daughter who says, Harvey is playing Rugby in Petersfield this afternoon, it would be great if you could pop down.

So camera in hand I head off down to the local Rugby in Petersfield, I have no idea about this sport. I just know it’s a little bit like Football \ Amercian Football which involves a bunch of men chasing after a ball, and trying to score a point at the other end of the field.

On arriving and setting up my camera gear, within seconds I can’t feel my fingers due to forgetting my long finger gloves, but I start to try and follow the game and capture all the action which is involved in this sport

At the end of the game, did I now have an understanding of Rugby NO,  but I had learnt a couple more tips when it comes to capturing action sports, and I did get to meet a really lovely bunch of people, Rugby truly is a thug’s game played by true gentlemen.
