Photography Tips
Visit the region during summertime. Explore maps and look up all the available riverside banks.
I say this because the Norfolk Broads are vast in size and heavily overgrown with reeds.
Therefore don’t just go and expect the best. Research is key. Wintertime is equally good because you’ve crazy views of fog wafting over lone boats, around our Norfolk mills and countryside.
I also experiment with LEE fog and mist filters. These are excellent tools for increasing depth and story in foggy shots.
Lens wise, I prefer a 24-105 Sony G Lens, 200mm and my favourite 16-300mm f/3.5-6.7. The 24-105 and 16-300 are my all time favourite lenses.
The 16-300 is so underrated. I’ve used it on aged Sony A7s and the 7ii and a9 and found it works perfectly providing incredible in-depth, dramatic and crisp images.
If I were to choose just one to take it would be the 16-300 which is ideal for water shots, scapes ans drama.
Tripods are essential here but not a necessity. Moreover, CPL and ND filters. I use a 0.3-0.6.
