We spent the night at the grotty campsite in Wissant. The next morning we were due back to Dover on the Eurotunnel leaving at 4.00pm, so we had the morning free. Alan went out for a spin on his bike and I wandered back down to the beach for some shots. It was a beautifully warm day for the end of September and there were a few people on the vast expanse of sand. I took mainly ICM and multiple exposure pictures using a Hoya 8 stop neutral density filter. But I will start with 3 straight ones, including one of Hettie doing what she loves best.

Another early morning allowed us to see sunrise from the road just outside Dole. We drove north until we finally arrived at Wissant on the channel coast close to Calais. We have used Wissant for a number of years as a stopping place before we cross La Manche. We stay in a campsite from where you can walk to the beach. It is very scruffy and crowded and each time I swear we will not go back, but we always seem to end up there. Wissant had some hulking concrete Hitler bunkers on the beach which were torn down last year but there is still wire and rubble on the beach and a large number of wooden groins which give great photographic opportunities, especially during sunsets, which always seem to be good in Wissant.

I have been looking through all my pictures for items to use for a panel. In so doing I have come acros stuff I had more or less forgotten about. I always hope the latest things I have done are the best, but the weather has not been kind lately, so here are a couple of past numbers! This was taken in Anglesey Abbey last winter and processed using Silver Effex Pro2. This was taken in Wissant, France at the end of a hot September evening last year.
