Morecambe Bay Photographs 32 to 48
All of the following photographs were taken by Peter Cherry FRPS, between 1979 and 1986. The cameras and film used, were an Olympus 35RC 35mm rangefinder camera loaded with Kodachrome colour transparency film, two Nikon FE and two Olympus OM1 35mm SLR cameras loaded with Kodachrome 64 colour transparency film and a Hasselblad ELM 6×6 cm camera, and a Pentax 6×7 cm SLR camera, both loaded with Agfachrome R100S colour transparency film. No coloured or special effect filters were ever used: the colours you see are the colours of nature. A quote from BBC television was “Morecambe Bay is the canvas for Peter Cherry’s photographic art”

Three boys, and a man wearing an Arabic head-dress, smoking a cigar! This shows that there are ‘all sorts of people’ on the cross bay walks
This is a pool of wet mud, not quicksand!
