I had taken a break for a couple of months - the cold weather in December confined me to the house for long periods. Being on the north shore of the Bristol Channel and the low angle of the sun during winter limits the photography - unless you're into silhouettes!
Anyway I'm back - I've checked out some new locations for viewing the ships and the best times to use them for photography - all I need now are some ships.
