Boat

Summer just pushed even further away and the reality of living on a rock in the middle ion the English Channel kicked in again. The storms are coming…

Absolutely shocking Monday. Needed an easy target before the sun disappeared! Where else but Bordeaux.

I found it really hard to find a boat with any foreground interest until I was about to leave, the sun came out and the clouds properly lit up. Love the little mounds of sand.

Took the kids away for the weekend to get some Herm therapy which was definitely needed. Met up with Mike and Mel on the boat to give us those holiday feels.

Once in a while you get rewarded for those early mornings. Bordeaux under a blanket of rain with the sun trying to push through, giving an amazing sky.

Took the long way home to find a ‘classic Guernsey’ image. Bordeaux always has some interesting fishing boats and these beauties have had a fresh lick of paint and the flag was still flying proud from Liberation Day.

Another place with many fond childhood memories. It’s not quite the summer beach weather yet but it’s around the corner!

Time was against me so I had to hunt down some very quick abstract in paint form.

A stunning and no doubt very expensive floating home, refuelling in the harbour. I’d love to have a mooch around inside!

Battling a massive hangover today and the weather didn’t really bring out any creative juices!

Technically, the ‘Golden Hour’ and normally the hour after sunrise but this morning offered so many options beforehand and the sky just kept on getting better. I was in my element, a fun ‘happy’ hour with the camera!

I’ve always struggled to find the right balance between day and night in this area but I think I’ve finally found my happy medium.

The penultimate month and it kicked off pretty wet! I was too tired to battle the wether so held off and got the aftermath of the downpour.

An experience in itself, the etherial light was epic to see but it also presents it’s own challenges when editing. The colours were so intense, picking the right white balance and tones was a ball right ache. It’s one of those where you had to see and be in it to really believe it.

I’ve missed a decent morning cloud formation. This mornings was pretty cool, if you’re into that kind of thing!

Even on the gloomy mornings, I’m always drawn to the coast. A lone fishing boat heading out towards Jerbourg, in what seemed like an infinite abyss.

Seriously lacking motivation today. One of those days where you know there’s so much that needs to be done you just want to hide away and hope it sorts itself out. Didn’t happen!
Literally parked the car up at Rousse, jumped out, Snapped this and spent about 10 minutes editing.
Onwards and upwards!

Another flat out, non stop day. Tried to get up before sunrise this morning but just couldn't face it. Dark and moody scenes from Les Amarreurs with the fishing boat just about staying still for this shot.

I had another image I wanted to post but the name ‘Boaty McFishface’ just stuck in my head all day so this made the final cut.
