That thin orange strip on the horizon is a guaranteed amazing sky in the morning. See that, get out and make sure you are ready!

Not sure what would be left in the undergrowth at this time of year, this fly did a good job of keeping still.

One I’ve done before but I’ve always liked the blue lights against the historic facade of the building.

It finally happened. Luckily I record backup jpg’s to the CF card but its still frustrating when you become so used to RAW files. The camera did warn me but I assumed it was a passing error. Backup your files people.

A last ditch attempt to get a photo this evening. There were some great opportunities today but unfortunately I just couldn’t be in the right place at the right time.

Another year, another pumpkin portrait with the kids. I’m not sure how much longer they’ll play ball with this tradition but I did offer a small bribe beforehand. I think Finley would actually enjoy getting stuck in on a farm though, Alana I’m not so sure about.

Pretty shit day to be out with the camera so here’s the black fur ball Mr Inky. The only way to get some detail in his jet black fur is by the window. Even then he just doesn’t stay still unless he’s sleeping!

Took myself on a quick tour of the new pumpkin farm at Les Hechet. I have to give it to them, they have done a fantastic job with all the pumpkins and the entire area. I won’t give away too much but there’s a small number of calves and pigs to see too! Spread the world and help them make it a massive success, which I’m sure it will be.

Last day of September started in spectacular fashion. In the 6 (nearly 7) years I’ve been doing this, 2021 has been pretty poor for these kind of skies. I still wake up an hour before sunrise every day, check outside and you can normally gauge how it’s going to pan out. The colour started to pick up about 45 minutes before sunrise so it just a matter of patiently waiting for something to happen.

After months of ongoing restoration , the water wheel is finally back up and running. Up until about 6 years ago, I only had vague memories of this place from my childhood, but now I visit a few times a year for a few snaps.

Probably the worst conditions for macro, but in between gusts of wind and this wet stuff falling from the sky, I managed to grab a few shots of a Common Blue. What I didn’t realise is I’d accidentally destroyed a spiders web which he wasn’t too pleased about. Sorry Mr Spider.

As the evening draws in, this just about sums up how we’re are feeling right now.

Just some cows in a field. Looked like there was over a hundred just mooching around, enjoying the sunshine!

The transition from summer to winter is finally here. We’ve been pretty lucky, nearly the whole of September with next to no rain, no storms, lots of sunshine and calm misty mornings. All good things must come to an end though!

The nearest land mass in this direction is Plounamac’h, France, 55 miles away. It’s a lovely spot to just stare into the deep blue and unwind.

I always struggle with ‘clear sky days’. Finding the right balance and subject is the biggest challenge. The good thing is, the days are drawing in and the autumn light is becoming more noticeable after work. I’ve also been experimenting with the new(ish) bundled LR presets which open your eyes to some more experimental, cinematic editing. They’re a good base to work from to create your own preset library.

Nice 4 miles hike/cycle around Pleinmont with a stop at the MotoX track. Finley didn't want to leave bless him but as you can see, he’s outgrown his bike and those little wheels don’t give much control in the dirt. Let’s hope Santa doesn’t have a shortage of Aluminium this Christmas!
