I'm entering a school competition and the theme is Norfolk: A changing landscape, I will take these photos with my DSLR I'm getting on Monday (Nikon D3100 with an 18-55mm and 70-300mm) I'm planning to use my 18-55mm lens and the photo needs to be in by the 10th November, anyone from Norfolk please give me some good places to go and can someone please tell me what A changing landscape might be? I'm year 8 and by far the best photographer in the school.

To me, "changing landscape" means two things. Either seasonal changes, like autumn leaves or spring buds, or longer-term changes like coastal erosion, deforestation or new buildings being constructed.

I'm not from Norfolk so unfortunately I can't help with specific locations, but you can find autumnal trees anywhere - for example your local park. You might find it helpful to use Google Maps aerial photos to look for interesting locations near where you live.

If you really are the best photographer in the school, you should be able to prove it by winning the contest.

Immediately, my mind goes to the Fens. During the industrial revolution, the fens were drained to make way for agriculture, now with the decline of industrial agriculture in the post war period, the Fenland is now being restored to it's natural habitat.

That's just my view of it. You need to be prepared to work for it, so you need to get out there every day you can, and read up as much as humanly possible about landscape photography using a proper camera.

You need to spend some time around either the coastal ports of Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth where the ancient fishing ports have changed and there are signs of that change to be found. As noted by others there's the northern coastline between Cromer and Kings Lynn where Nature's changes have wrought significant effect on the landscape. There's even the thought of looking at Sandringham and see how Royal Patronage has changed the surrounding communities. A more off-beat suggestion is to photograph the latest windmills at sea and see if there's a location where the original land-based windmills are located and within sight of the latest windmill farms.
