Normandy Landings

Just got back from a family break in France and despite lugging a load of gear over there in the motorhome, I ended up doing rather less photography and drinking rather more wine than I’d intended. I guess I just needed a break as its been manic busy on the commercial photography side of things leading up to the holiday. Also, in my defence, August in France is not going to be too productive in terms of nature photography. Most of the plants have burned off and the birds have gone. Even so, I expected a few more insects and butterflies than I saw. I managed to catch up with a winter plumaged Mediterranean gull and a few turnstones just moulting out of summer plumage on the beach at Carnac, though to be honest there were much better things in full summer plumage to photograph on the beach ;¬) There’s also a few shots from a very crowded Mont Saint Michel – there were just so many people and cars I had to shoot from a very low viewpoint in all the shots to get rid of the folks :¬\ At dusk, however, the light came good and the sky was perfect for some low light shots.
