As usual it's been a while so to fill in a gap before any meaningful personal update I thought I would throw in a photo or two from our recent trip to Oamaru with my parents. The weather was not due to be anything special and, as is so often the case now, I left my D80 at home as the car was just too full of baby paraphernalia. We woke on Sunday VERY early and after eating breakfast in the dark and trying to entertain Tom without waking every guest staying in the motel we hit the road as the gloom revealed itself at first light.
Having been this way many times before, we knew a lovely beach to head to and we had the clothes to cope with the rather chilly early morning.

While it was a bit grey and dreary there was some good potential for moody weather shots. Looking at other peoples images I feel I have always failed to exploit similar conditions in the past and armed with my trusty S90 I tried my arm at a few shots with a specific type of final image in mind. Amy was a bit worried Tom was going to be tipped into the drink but we managed to avoid any major mishaps and my feet even remained dry!
As to whether I achieved my aim, I'll leave that for you to make your own mind up...
