The Norfolk Coast is an incredibly varied part of the English Coastline. Along its length the various landscapes include dunes, cliffs, salt marshes, shingle, mudflats and golden sandy beaches. Throw in a smattering of seaside resorts and sleepy harbour villages, nature reserves and a coastal path, and you have an area suitable for many types of visitor from wildlife spotters to those who would rather let the day pass them by as they recline in a deckchair. Its ever-changing nature, caused by the actions of the sea or the weather, makes every visit unique. It is a place where you can 'feel the weather', a meeting point between the elements of the earth, water and air. Great Yarmouth-based landscape photographer Jon Gibbs presents a selection of his dramatic and evocative images of this remarkable stretch of coastline.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
One gets the sense Gibbs is so familiar with the Norfolk coast he knows which tidepools reflect the best light and where the best dunes are before he arrives at a shoot. This is a fantastic portrait of an area and a lesson in the importance of understanding your subject matter. Amateur Photographer The reader is filled with the sense of a haunted landscape, where the only sound is the whistle of wind through marram grass or the chortle of a shelduck in the saltmarsh. Coast Jon Gibbs has successfully captured the beauty and serenity of this attractive part of the world in this enjoyable book... Jon describes the coast as a place where you can 'feel the weather', and his captivating and beautifully lit images reflect this. Outdoor Photography A treat on every page. Let's Talk A delightful window on a much-loved part of our region. Venue The sumptuous photography in 'The Norfolk Coast' does full justice to a stetch of English coastline that has few rivals.
