A Morning Walk at Hastings
Nikon FM2
These images were taken on a visit to the coastal town of Hastings , way back in the 1990’s . I remember that I had just invested in a Nikon FM2 Camera which I still own. Getting up very early one summers morning I loaded some Kodak Ektar 100 colour film and went for a walk along the sea front.
Hastings is a great sea side town located on the south coast of the UK and a wonderful place to get some beach and sea front images, I remember being really pleased with these images and encouraged to keep taking more.
I think finding a good location for your photography is key to keeping you going and learning as much as you can about using your camera and adding to your photography skills.

I like the resort and am looking forward to the re-opening of the pier next year. This is thanks to the community. Love the fishermens’ net huts area as well.
Lovely clear photos

Lovely shots, Nigel; I spent a lot of weekends in Hastings as a teenager in the 90s so this takes me back in a very pleasant way. And thanks for the link to my site! (Although the old Ektar is a very different thing to modern Ektar 100; the latter being a 21st century invention. A very good one at that; I recommend you try some!)

Great photos – I live in Hastings and whilst it’s still pretty, I don’t think todays Hasting’s quite lives up to the 90s version in your photos!
If you have time check out my post on my trip back home to Hastings https://ageofescapades.wordpress.com/2018/06/27/homeward-to-hastings/
