This talk, split in two distinct parts: a coastal part and a reflection of wildlife and photography at the water’s edge. It was brought together during the course of the pandemic lockdowns when I dwelt on just where I have enjoyed the highlights of my photography career – from a personal perspective rather than a commercial or any other one. The result is an array of images and experiences from the shores of the UK and a little further afield as well, and an array of images taken by and on a number of occasions, literally in the water!
