Portraits, Christmas and Holme Photographs

Copyright Janice Alamanou 2010 A walk at Holme beach was a breath of fresh air on a beautiful September morning. I could count the people I saw on one hand, the sun was shining, a slight cool breeze from the sea and lots of birds on the shoreline. I'm still not good with naming birds but the Oyster Catchers were obvious along with the cormorants and the others were beautiful to photograph, so it doesn't really matter to me the names, although I know I have been told to learn them by my more bird knowledgeable friends. The sand seemed endless to the cliffs of Hunstanton and a few distant kite surfers and wind surfers were visible in the waves. A lovely natural beach, where as I started my return, I started talking to a lone walker who described how they believed the sand had shifted and changed over the past years, pointing out areas that are now grasses and marshland which used to be sand. Take a look at the beach and birds at: http://www.coastalphotography.co.uk/shop/17-beaches/page48 also in the Birds category and the new Black and White category. Type Holme into the search to view all. My next local show is 24th and 25th October at the Maltings, Staithe Street, Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk. Time 10am - 4pm. Pop in and see me, Christmas cards will be available then along with snow scenes and mounted prints, canvas prints and framed images. From 11th November you can find a range of my canvas prints in the Picturecraft Gallery, Lees Yard, Holt, Norfolk. This event runs until lunch time Christmas Eve. Christmas cards and mounted prints will also be on sale here. For a Christmas present or something special contact me for a portrait session. Ideal as a special gift or to treat yourself and can be done before Christmas or at a later date.
