A quick trip out tonight to have a go at photographing fireworks. Southend Council put on a free firework display on the seafront every Saturday night through November (at least) so there is plenty of opportunity. It was dry - if cold - when I went but turned out to be very windy on the …
Southend Kitesurfing
It was a sunny morning so after doing the dad taxi thing and dropping my girl off in town I wandered down to Southend seafront to take some photos. The tide was high (very), the sea was choppy, and the wind was blowing hard off the estuary. It was really rather nice and I spent …

Southend 10K 2014 – Photos

Southend Half Marathon and Fun Run 2014
[Updated 10/06] For Nick. Once again I took to the sunny seaside streets of Southend to support and photograph runners in the annual Havens Hospices Southend Half Marathon. This year I decided to base myself around the start finish general area . I have got to know many more runners in and around Southend in …
