Last weekend I had a go at photographing the fireworks on Southend seafront. It was fun and spurred me to try again and improve from the lessons learned. You can read about that experience here. So I head down again this evening and had another go. The weather was much better this evening - dry and …
Southend Fireworks
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 …

Remembering Nick – Southend Parkrun 90
The 90th running of Southend parkrun took place on Saturday and a record 277 runners and many spectators came out to take place and cheer. The event was special for a couple of reasons. Firstly it was a pacing event where a number of parkrun regulars had agreed to pace other runners to help them …
