Abstract
21.12.22
The official shortest day of the year which only means one thing…Summer is coming!!!
I like to mark the day with a landscape image but the weather had other ideas. I saw this tree reflecting in a rusty garden dish in a garden centre which reminded me of a giant setting sun.
Snapseed mashup.

And just like that, the Autumn is here (meteorologically speaking) and the rain made its way through. Had to pull a quick one out the bag this evening as I just had no energy today.

In search of something colourful the light on these leaves caught my eye along with the mix of blues, greens and purples.

The sun was hiding for most of the day so I went on a mission to find a sunflower. I found hundreds in the end. Added little cinematic twist to the edit to spice things up a bit!

Wandered past some chickens earlier. What looked like a purple black one completely changed colour when it wandered into the evening sun. I’ve pulled up the colours but the term ‘never judge a book by it’s cover’ springs to mind.

This is an alternative take on one of Guernsey’s cherished pastimes, ormering. Rubber glove against the blue sky, cooked in Snapseed.

With the shortest day just over three weeks away, daylight hours are limited. Overcast days are a thing we just get used to but with dullness comes new challenges. Rain wont stop me searching and there’s always a little detail which catches my eye like this flame like leaf sat against the dark rotten leaves.

Italian Arum growing in a pile of wood chips with a little backlight poking through the trees illuminating the thick white veins on the leaf. Although this is far from the ‘natural’ colours, I got pretty bored of editing it so went to town on the sliders. Still not quite happy, like a kid scribbling with a crayon, I raced though experimenting with colours and split toning and abruptly stopped when I hit some fiery oranges.

When it rains for 90% of the day, it’s sometimes easier to just whip out the phone and just experiment without the restriction of lens selection and worrying about drying out the gear later.

One of those days where I just couldn’t be bothered to get my camera out but so far 1914 days in, I think I’ll stop at 2000 days!

A day filled with chores, one of which led me to a garden centre. Found a whole section of succulents for a quick no drama’s photo.

Always been drawn to flaky boat hull. Love the different colour layers and textures.
