Back to Petit Port, hoping for that once in a lifetime photo opportunity which didn’t happen. There were some stunning light rays a few mile out. Salvaged a few shot I liked.

This was a bit of an afterthought. The sky looked promising earlier but I couldn’t make up my mind where I wanted to be.

With a 7 year old on my shoulders and little to no areas to focus on it was a case of relying on the workhorse to instantly focus on the light source and constantly change settings to freeze the fireworks.

Found a two free range chickens roaming the lanes around the reservoir. Turns out they like prawn cocktail crisps. I decided to name them Jam and Spoon. This is Jam.

This morning had a proper wintry, icy feel to it. My summer rain jacket is no longer sufficient for the morning adventures.

After the last few days this seemed pretty good. The warm sun on my back and hardly any wind made it quite pleasant. I did hope for another rainbow but the rain was too far away.

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.

Full on rainbow appeared as I was heading home and an opportunity I couldn’t miss. I was getting hammered with rain but it was coming from behind so I didn’t have to worry about rain spots.

I had no idea where to venture to this morning so I though I’d give this one another go. It wasn’t till 08:20 that the sun actually made an appearance. After finely tuning the camera in such a small space I got what I wanted (ish!).

I went on the hunt for some Fly agaric mushrooms around the grounds of St Pierre Park but had no luck. On the way back I spotted this fallen tree which was still deeply rooted into the earth bank. Still growing, still changing with the seasons, just lying on it’s side!
Felt like splashing paint on a canvas editing this one. Base of a cinematic preset within LR then moulded to my mood!

I try to save this location for special, colourful sunrises and this one was no exception. I had a little issue wit the waves crashing over behind me which was a bit sketchy but I used myself as a shield and stuck with it and I was quite pleased with the results.

There are 6 ducklings in the pond at Saumarez Manor which I was hoping to photograph but they disappeared as soon as the screaming kids started feeding and shouting at the adult ducks.
I had to search ‘fat brown uk bird’ to find out the name of this bird.

That the of year when your mind starts to wonder whether you should or shouldn’t touch the shrooms. Also reminds me of how Alice in Wonderland had a massive trip from eating Agaric mushrooms, and we were exposed to that as kids when nobody gave shit.

An opportunity was brewing so I quickly drove the 2 minutes from my house (lazy!) and got to the bridge with 1 minute to spare before it pee’d down.

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 tides were good but I just couldn’t find a composition I liked on the sand. The cave is always a good place to fall back on but there was very little breaks in the cloud. There’s some annoying over exposed areas on the sea but I like the rays of sunlight breaking in on the coastline.

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.

This is the first time a dragonfly has ever let me physically pick it up and not freak out. It didn’t stay for long but still amazed me that it just hopped on my hand!
