The Raw Adventurer

On Saturday, I turn 23 and the one thing I have always wanted is a DSLR camera, it's been a goal for a few years now.

 I have always been keen on taking amazing pictures, capturing a moment, a feeling, that time when you just see something and have to share it with the world.
And yesterday, my dream came true, I am now the proud owner of a Canon EOS 1200D, granted it isn't a high-end camera, but for me it's just what I wanted.

These are a few pictures I took this morning, I woke up to try and catch the sunrise but because of the mist/fog and general wet weather the sun didn't appear, but these photos capture the weather and the autumnal season. I like the darkness and general dullness of the pictures, Its how I felt when I was there, I am choosing not to edit them at this moment in time, but may do in the future.

This is just off the coast of Walney, and it shows the abandoned boats on the coast- "The Lost Boats"

These are my first pictures with the camera and I hope to progress into bigger and better things once I have discovered the full potential of the camera!

The Promenade

Walney Island is just off the coast of Barrow-In-Furness, Cumbria. It is a tiny Island and separated just over the channel from Barrow, it reigns as the largest English Island in the Irish sea!

But, what I love the most about Walney Island is the sunrises and sunsets, it is always a break-taking sight, as you watch the tide come in or go out, you realise that this Island is really a little piece of heaven. I often bike around the Island, walk and even run across the beach, it is peaceful, tranquil and is just over the bridge to another town.

It is the perfect place to relax, forget about your troubles and just enjoy the view. There are different corners to explore, whether that be Biggar Bank, West Shore or North Scale, each has its own merits. I'd like to share just a few pictures I have taken within the month of being here, I'm afraid they are taken with a phone and aren't the highest quality, but overall, still stunning.
