If sunrise photography wasn't hard enough, try throwing vlogging into the mix whilst taking images. Not easy my friends.
On this beautiful Easter weekend, I made my way down to the beach at Thornham to grab some shots for sunrise. Despite my moaning, I did manage to capture a few images that I think are worthy of printing.
I also met up with a fellow vlogger and friend, Jamie Overland and so please check out Jamies channel, he really is one of life's good guys.

Once again a cracking vlog with images that seemed to get better and better through the vlog. Wonderful colours picked out in the reflections on the sand. My favourite of them all was the grasses in the sand. Thanks again for the vlog Darren.
Hi Deryck,
I’m really pleased you liked the 2nd image with the marram grass.
I was unsure on that image as I didn’t know if the sky complemented it and so I thought I’d wait to hear what you guys thought of it and so I’m really pleased you picked that image out.
You’ve restored my faith in myself 😉
Thanks for watching bud 👍
another excellent and enjoyable vlog Darren loved the images
Thanks Derek, you’re very kind sir and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Really like the subtle palette of that boathouse image 😊👍🏻
Yeah, that one was a very unexpected shot. A nice Brucey bonus.
I’ve just got out of the tent as I slept in the garden last night. What have I got myself into 🤔
Once again mate excellent especially at 17.17 👍you do go to some nice places
Thanks Ian.
Thornham is fast becoming my 2nd home, purely because it’s proximity and it’s a nice place as well 😉
Thanks for watching matey 👍
Nice Vlog Darren, images are stunning, specially the last one with the boathouse! Thanks
Hi Bernard,
I hope you’re well mate and Canada is looking beautiful at the moment.
The Boathouse was a real unexpected bonus shot and an image that I’m really pleased with.
Take care bud 👍
Yeah nothing wrong with a little cheese in moderation 👍😁. Really liked that image of the grasses, I really didn’t think that was gonna work as you were talking but no, good job 👏
You and me both Steve.
I was convinced I was on the wrong side of the grasses (which I was of course), but the image came out far better than expected and it’s been the most commented on image of the video.
Thanks for watching mate and I hope you have a great Sunday.
Looks a great morning, those last couple of images of the wooden thingumma and the coal barn were winners for me though. I've not shot the barn from any distance, so one to try next time I go back!
Cheers James, the last image was a real bonus and an image I really like.
In fact it was a really productive morning all round.
See ya mate.
You know why I have heard so many do the cheese but I have to say you did not and do not sound cheesy at all. I actually think you are one of the genuine ones. Like watching you grow and the way you are on camera. You have met so many people I can’t keep count on them all. Sure you have left a lasting impression on them all. And I can only wish I had half the niceness you have lol Jamie I was with him on his first vlog too man.
Cheers Paul, that’s really kind mate. I thoroughly enjoy making the videos but I really appreciate people who take time out of their day to watch and comment.
I didn’t realise you’ve vlogged with Jamie and so I’ll have to watch the video. Is it on your channel or his?
Take care bud 👍
He was in mine and I was in his lol
Great blog, love the boathouse image 👍
Cheers Mark 👍
I hope you’re well mate 🍺🍺
Really enjoyed this, thanks so much.
You have hit a rich seam, keep digging the pastel gold. Lovely shots, started to get a real feel of 70's warmth ( I know, you're too young to remember them).
Have you thought about getting some vintage glass on the front of your camera and starting to shoot the mood; it's a whole different world of image making?
I remember more of the 70’s than you’d think Iain 😉
I’m not 100% sure what you mean about vintage glass. Is that a particular type of lens or just an older lens?
Either way I’ll probably stick with the equipment I have, although I need to buy a wider lens soon to replace my 14mm prime, that I part ex’d a few months back.
Have a good Sunday mate
Largely just glass for film cameras. Usually cheap online. I shoot more film for fun/experimentation and started making the crossover with adapters. I've never really been a pixel-peeker, so some swirly bokeh and natural vignettes are all an added bonus.
Was going for a long walk with a camera today but the weather report is wrong again and the sky is dishwater grey..oh well maybe tomorrow!
Great vlog mate, and a couple of outstanding images in my opinion. I really liked the pastel colours in the shot at 7:32 and what a great spot for the image at 14:29, I think it shows what a good photographer you are to even see that image in the first place :-)
You’re too kind dumpling and thanks for the lovely comment.
I’m really enjoying the pastel colours at the moment and I processed the 1st image as if I was going to print it. I could have been tempted to lift the saturation on the orange reflections, but I wanted to keep it subtle.
Where was your Vlog this week?
Talk soon matey 🍺
Darren Knight Photo it’s uploaded and ready to go, but I’m holding back until Monday 👍
Re: Photography ooh, you little teaser you
Darren, you have created some beautiful images there. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching and listening to you on your adventures. I know I’m not alone in feeling this.
Morning Andrew,
I hope you’re well mate. Thank you for your kind works and I’m pleased you enjoy them.
I’ve just spent a night in a tent to prepare for some wild camping. I’m too old for this, it feels like my hips are about to fall off.
Take care matey and I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend 🍺🍺
Darren Knight Photo cheers Darren, and take care mate.
Love the beach there bud, lovely conditions, lovely imags. Check your vlog title!!!!!!!!!
Btw, the misty shots are superb
Cheers Jon, I’m on it!
That’s why I should never edit a video at 2am, before rushing off to a sunrise shoot. 😉
See ya mate
Loving that shot through the grasses Darren, great light well captured. Thanks for the vlog👍👍
You’re welcome michael and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Have a good weekend mate 👍
Second video watched and I really like your style. Subscription sorted and looking forward to seeing more!
Jamie 'Fen Shui' Overland!! You never told me you'd turned me in a Ninja!! Tom Peters will have me for infringement lol....I had a cracking morning down by the creek and it was great to catch up over a coffee and bacon butty, really enjoyed it. I even think I came away with an image which could be in my top 3 favourites of all shots I've taken! Your images down on the beach were lovely mate, but that one of the grasses is stunning, I really like that! Hope you survive the storm on the beach this morning bud, and look forward to another meet in the near future 👍
Thanks again for buying breakfast Jamie, you’re now my new best friend 👏👏
Ooh, a top 3 image, I’m looking forward to seeing that. When does your Vlog come out?
The beach this morning was a washout. Neither Owen or I vlogged, but we had a good catch up and I think I managed to get 1 image that has potential.
You’re not the 1st person to like the 2nd image and that was the one I was in 2 minds about. I’m really pleased it’s going down well.
Take care sausage
@@DarrenKnightPhoto not started to edit it yet, but planning to release on Wednesday if I pull my finger out! Got another in the bag yesterday at Holkham - thanks for the location ideas!
Then pull your finger out matey 😉
Great video Darren lad
Thank you sausage 👍
Some lovely images this week Darren - and a nice mix! I particularly liked the sunrise shots with those beautiful pastel-y oranges and pinks... stunning colours. I keep saying I'm going to make it over to the Norfolk beaches one weekend, but being from the north west (the same town as Amir Khan as it happens haha), Norfolk is a bugger to get to!
Thank Paul,
that’s really kind mate.
I’m really enjoying the pastel colours at the moment as I think it can give a really nice feel to an image.
I have to be honest, I struggled on the Norfolk coast for a while, but I’m starting to really enjoy it now. I was back on the beach today, but the conditions didn’t really make for a video.
Gutted khan lost, although deep down I knew he would. Crawford is just so good.
Take care mate and have a great weekend 👍
Another one i enjoyed Darren, particularly liked the image through the grass at 11:05
Hi David,
And thanks for watching.
I’m so pleased that image is going down so well, as it was an image that I was 50/50 on.
Enjoy you Sunday bud
Good morning, you got some fabulous shots. I particularly liked the grass and the coal shed. On the grass shot, as you were waiting for the grass to be illuminated I would have been tempted to put the tripod lower and have dark silhouettes against the sky.
Why are you so anti footprints? Are they really so detrimental to a composition? Have a great weekend 👌📷☕
Hi Heather I hope you’re well.
Fair point about the tripods position, however once I’d taken the 1shot (the sky), I couldn’t move the tripod until I’d taken the 2nd shoot, which was approximately 10-15 mins after the 1st, as I needed to blend the 2 together.
Having said that, I could have moved lower after the 2nd shot I suppose.
Footprints:-
It depends on the footprints. Lone footprints in pristine sand can look beautiful, but loads of footprints from snotty nosed kids, who in my opinion shouldn’t be allowed on the beach (That’s why we made Xboxes and fast food for), can look a bit messy and distracting (in my humble opinion). 😉
Thanks for watching and I hope you’re enjoying your Saturday 👋
@@DarrenKnightPhoto I have a lot to learn, you will probably get fed up of my questions. But thanks and well done for humorous and informative vlog 👌💯
Not at all Heather, ask away 👍👍
Lovely images, Darren!
And I don't think being grateful is cheesy 🙂
Thanks Geir and of course you’re right.
Thanks for watching and enjoy the rest of the weekend 👍
Great video and photos Darren, I'm going to Well Next The Sea in mid September to photograph the coast and this video has got me really looking forward to photographing this area. :)
Hi martin,
Wells is one of my favourite seaside locations. Some really nice walks, pubs and restaurants, plus a great place to take photos.
You’ll have a blast I’m sure.
Have fun and take care matey 👍
