NEW DAWN

in

09.12.21

Head in the sky at 06:30, there was a strong hint that the sky was going to burst into life. Some days it’s worth travelling the extra few miles to really experience these moments.

Every time I come down here there seems to be less and less pine trees. Either fallen in the wind or cut down at the need of their life. I’ve got a feeling the remaining pine’s won’t be around for too much longer.

RAINBOW COLLECTION

in

30.11.21

Last day of November, finishing off with a classic Guernsey scene and a stunning rainbow. I sat through three downpours to get this shot but my persistence paid off. Luckily I found a rock to shelter behind and the rain was driving in from the west so the lens stayed relatively rain free. There was also a lot of careful planning in my mind as to where to be, along with the help of some basic sun calculation apps and rain radars.

THE JOURNEY

in

23.11.21

Always expect the unexpected! I always feel like I’m letting myself down a bit by visiting the same location time and time again but every now and then, something really magical happens. The sun position was perfectly positioned behind the church roof, cloud cover was spot on and the colours were just phenomenal.

For me, it’s all about the journey. Without being here, I would have missed this and the experience and feeling you get can’t be explained in words.

MARBLE RUN

in

13.11.21

I almost pulled the covers over my head this morning but me being me, got up anyway to check the sky and I could see it starting to pick up some colour 45 minutes earlier. A 5 mile drive later and a mad run down to Marble Bay I was greeted with this stunning sky. Sometimes a little extra effort goes a long way.

This is a good example of how the higher level clouds pick up the colour in the atmosphere.

FOG HORN

in

24.10.21

Fog & Signal Station at St Martins Point.

I came here yesterday but the sun was only visible through a tiny break on the horizon so I decided to return this morning with a bit more light in my favour. I had to shield the camera from the wind and wipe the filters after each shot which was a pain in the arse because all my cleaning cloths are now coated in salty water.
