Stunning sunset
We went to the private view of Brighton and Hove camera club in the morning.
I don't have any photos in it this year as I didn't get round to putting any in. I'm going to have about 14 framed photos exhibited in an Open House in Newhaven starting from next weekend, and I'm also probably going to have some up on E-Kagen's wall soon, so I didn't make that much of an effort to make it in time for the camera club submissions.
Snap from Castle Hill in Newhaven.
In the evening we went for a walk in Seaford Head. The Seven Sisters were basking in the evening sun.
On the way back we saw this fabulous sunset over Newhaven, and Brighton in the distance.

Seaford Head to Cuckmere Haven
It was another lovely sunny day today and after racking my brains to try and come up with a new, exciting place where to go for a walk, I decided to go back to Seaford Head and walk towards Cuckmere Haven. Well, actually we ended up walking all the way to Cuckmere Haven as the weather was so pleasant. 2.5 hour walk all in all, including a couple of short breaks for Z to have a little rest. (Not me - honest.)
Starting at Seaford Head, looking back West towards Newhaven (which is only barely visible in the distance):
(I didn't mean to have Z in this photo, but he insisted being in it.)
Getting closer to Seven Sisters.
This kind of photography is relatively boring, but I couldn't resist... Just imagine complete silence apart from a bird song/cry here and there, looking out to sea... Perfectly calm and serene... hmmm, actually now makes me think of the film "Dead Calm".
A four frame stitched panorama of the Seven Sisters. (Click to see it large.)
After having (almost) raided someone's picnic on the beach, Zebedee had a little dip in the sea.
(Raiding people's picnics is becoming Z's regular stunt. I think I need to keep him on the lead wherever there are people having picnics about.)
Isn't he handsome, though. So people keep saying, anyway.
If you saw the film "Atonement" earlier this year - or was it last-, you may remember this scene from it.
Here's a post from the last time we were in the area.

Seaford Head
...also known as Wake up and smell the flowers! Part II
This morning we went for a walk on the cliffs from Seaford Head towards Seven Sisters, and back. It was such a beautiful day that we found ourselves sighing out of delight every few minutes, and without noticing, ended up walking so far that we had to hurry back in order to get into London (to meet up with a friend) on time.
Canon IXUS 850 is a great little camera to carry in the pocket and snap away with, but it does have its limits when it comes to image quality. Apart from having a rather grainy pixel quality compared to larger sensored SLRs, in the above photo you can see vignetting (=darker corners) and barrel distortion that causes the horizon to bend. But not so much that it disturbs the "untrained eye"; I doubt any non-photographer even noticed it before I mentioned anything.
Yesterday we drove to Beachy Head.

It was a very windy day.
So windy that in places Zebedee had to brace himself against the wind even when just standing in one place.
