Jerbourg

TELEGRAPH BAY

27.12.22

An awkward bay to access and photograph, especially at high tide. There’s a 20 metre sheer drop over this edge which is sketchy enough under the feet!

Shooting into the shadows and direct sun isn’t ideal but I managed to keep the details in both ranges.

SEA FOG

02.08.22

Half the island’s coastline was swamped in fog for most of the day. I had some ideas but none of them turned out as I planned. This field caught my eye on the drive back from Jerbourg. Might try it again at sunrise in the hope of a nice thin layer of mist on the grass?

FOG HORN

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.

JERBOURG

14.12.20

For the first time in six years I went out with a drained battery in my camera. I normally check the night before but for the last few days I just didn’t bother. Luckily I had a spare in my car which was half a mile away when I realised but I managed to salvage some of the stunning light when I made it back.

THE DEEP BLUE

10.06.19

Summer lightning storms off the east coast this afternoon. I was headed for Petit Port but the rumble of thunder was too much to resist. Didn’t capture any lightning strikes but the display was phenominal. The yacht in the foreground and Condor in the middle puts the scale of the clouds into perspective.
