Photographing Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset - How a grey dawn became a stunning morning

During my trip around Dorset to get new photos and scout locations for my upcoming workshops, I headed to the beautiful Kimmeridge Bay for sunrise. But what started out as a dull, grey dawn slowly turned into one of the most beautiful mornings I’ve ever had there.
During this video I also talk about my thoughts on the Canon R5’s EVF (electronic viewfinder) and how although I didn’t like the idea of going mirrorless at first because of it, I am beginning to see the benefits.

The effect of the changes in light in this area are incredible, as highlighted in your lovely video. I am a regular all year round visitor to Kimmeridge and you have captured it perfectly! Thank you for posting!

[@IanMiddletonPhotographyTravel]

Thanks very much. It really was incredible how the light changed over the course of the morning and a perfect example of how you never know what will transpire. Helps to be in a beautiful place like Kimmeridge too. You are lucky to be able to visit so often.

I enjoyed this vignette of you working with the shapes and colors around you very much. How dynamic nature is! Also it's nice to see the person behind the name 🙂Now to locate Kimmeridge Bay on the map!

Thank you. Glad you liked it. Hope you get there. It's my absolute favourite place on the Jurassic Coast.
