Fossil-hunters at Charmouth
There's often something special about the light, just before it begins to fail in the late afternoon, down by the water's edge. That weird glowing effect in the Thames is the warm setting sun finding its way between the buildings opposite the South Bank near Waterloo which, paradoxically, are in the west, due to an acute bend in the river. I have no idea why a band of musicians decided to congregate on that narrow shore, rather than up on the embankment, but they were making a rousing racket down there. It's a Balkan thing.

Heh, cool! People! Lovely photos, Mike. The light at the beach is exquisite.
Kent,
Isn't it? The Fuji X100 seems particularly receptive to marginal light conditions -- the RAW files always have stacks of data in the highlights and shadows.
I really regret not getting some better shots of the musicians -- I kept hearing music, and assumed it was a boat party out on the water. Only as they were packing up did I suss where they were.

We want some video of the musicians. Surely it's a regular thing for them, and you could meet up w/ them again.
Kent,
London is a £40 train ride away, even with my recently acquired Senior Railcard. This is not a journey I make more than a few times a year!
