Beautiful rain curtain drifting across the channel this morning. A feint rainbow did start to appear behind but it never quite popped.
A classic jumping spot at high tide for us Guern’s, Tommy Rock!

High tides make life difficult to find a decent composition around the coast but there’s always something to be found if you look hard enough. The colourful sky does help to draw you in.

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.

The landscapes may be timeless but the ever changing tides creates opportunities that can’t easily be recreated. It’s a fine balance of light and motion that’s hard to predict but sometimes it just falls into place.

Another stunning weekend on the rock soaking up the sun. Started nice and early on Havelet, trying to frame this yacht before the sun got too intense.

A trek I’ve become very familiar with over the year, one that gets easier every time you walk it. The rewards on a calm summer morning are more than worth it. Probably spent just over an hour sat down here, occasionally checking the camera.

Over the years I’ve learnt to really appreciate our coastline. From the wildlife and and flowers in the spring to the spectacular and violent seas in the winter, nothing clears your head more than getting out and experiencing what’s on our doorstep. That said, my toes and fingers had lost all feeling by the time I took this. Must get thicker gloves and socks!

The first day of the meteorological winter, observed from Saints Bay. The tides were perfect and just enough hazy cloud on the horizon to keep the highlights balanced. 30 days left and that would be six years non stop daily photography (2162 days to date). I’ve filled nearly 8TB of storage and many more GB’s thrown away to make space. In my mind, I’m still only getting started!

Crazy to think that only 11 days ago the temperature was peaking at 30°C, now the arctic winds make it feel like its about to snow. Right now its warmer in the sea than outside but there’s no chance you’ll get me out it this!

One of those little pleasures in life, always rewarding no matter what time of year you go.

One of those in between places that I rarely visit with plenty of potential in different conditions.

You’ve got to take every possible opportunity to be in the moment. Do it for yourself and nobody else!

I’m genuinely gutted we couldn’t celebrate properly today, not only for Liberation Day but just being with all our mates and letting the kids mingle and have fun. On the plus side, I wasn’t drunk so I could shoot out and grab some photographs to make up for it.

Feeling frustrated, I literally walked away minute before this. You can imagine the mad dash back to set up again and check every setting.

Violent 10-12 ft swell coming on off the west coast this morning. Got as close as I could with a wide lens without putting myself at risk. Even with a tripod and fairly high iso the camera shake was unavoidable.

A dull flat morning, probably should have stayed in bed. I made it though and won’t venture home until I’ve at least attempted to create something.
