These are not exactly news bulletins, folks. In Liverpool, if we were to wait for good weather, we'd never go out. Me? I'm having fun with the PS sky replacement tool, carrying my weather in a file. Great idea! I wish I could use the sky replacement tool outside my window at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to book in advance so have to take pot luck with the weather. The day I had chosen was dismal, dull and misty with the mist at times, quite literally, down to sea level. I've had nine sales from that short walk. Their website claims it to be 'The most dramatic walk Europe'. To put it mildly, I think that's a bit over the top... ! I'll add that to my bucket list - thanks for the tip! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current mood around the country should be photographed on days like these - especially with bight Xmas lights which benefit from darker backgrounds. And then, if it rains .. I'm too depressed to try and snap it! 4 years of Brexit shenanigans, 10 months of Coronavirus pandemic and now chaos at Dover have depleted any reserves of enthusiasm. On which elevating note many thanks to everyone who replied; some really solid ideas. Merry Christmas! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas! 🙂 I do think that the whole story hasn yet played out and we should be out there recording what's happening as circumstances change day-by-day. That said, it's been another exhausing year for photographers reporting on these issues. If I could actually reach Dover, I would - but I think I'll take up the pace again in the New Year. It's not over till the fat lady .. oh, never mind. A Merry Christmas to you all too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could, and have thought about it, but feel that in these situations I'd struggle in the competition with the locals - especially with such a high profile story that will be attracting teams from the big guys. I'll keep covering the unfolding situation locally and hope for odd successes, which when they happen means for a greater return on the minimal cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't you been listening to our esteemed Transport Secretary- "Don't go to Dover"-sounds like sound advice as a destination, generally, I've only ever passed through, fortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC (Before Covid) I did plan to visit Dover for the first day of crashing out without a deal, presuming it happened. Previously I visited last year to shoot an XR Dover Blockade and local stock. Free parking in residential roads was plentiful. It was a great day other than when shooting into the sun towards the docks from the cliff footpath before the protest. In the current climate it's a no no. Edited December 23, 2020 by sb photos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went part of it was closed due to rockfalls and we had to return the way we came. Normally the mini-bus picks you up at the other end. But they had 'forgot' to mention any of this on their website and I only found out after I arrived (I had already paid of course}. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time, I don't even bother upload that kind of images because there are almost no chances they ever sell… But it's always nice to try something different. I think the weather should never prevent you from taking your camera out. London sure has changed since i was there 🙂 (great pictures) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I labelled one of my portable toilets with a 'portaloo' keyword the company concerned got in touch to request that I remove it as the loo in questions was not a bone-fide portaloo.
