A place I like to visit time and time again for these exact reasons.

FOREBODING SKIES

Heavy rain clouds drifting in over town. Been a great day for rainbow spotting and no doubt plenty more to come!

THE CATCH

Finally got my second baby back (The 5D MkIV) from Canon. Took her out to town to do a bit of sight seeing.

New mirror box and shutter, upgraded to the newer 2019 version! Happy days.

ROYAL PLAZA

Literally raining for the whole day but managed a quick shot on my way home this evening. Took shelter under a balcony above which just about kept me dry. On the plus side my grass is green again!

SHIP & CROWN

Hunting the town for some puddle reflections but it was short lived as I spent 90% of my time cleaning rain off the lens. This was the best I could come up with.

GEORGE STREET

A shot I’ve wanted to take for years but never got round to it. I think this would work better late winter when the morning sun fills up the street a little more. Still a classic Guernsey street scene.

THE OLD QUARTER

Blending in being a tourist in my own home. I think that’s how I’ve managed to get through 1680 days, seeing and doing things that makes Guernsey so unique, sometimes from an outsiders point of view.

TWILIGHT

10pm, a tad under 20 degrees and the wind was non existent but the creative juices weren’t flowing.

Built in the 60’s as a navigational aid, guiding ships to deeper water, its been recently renovated back to its former glory.

It’s not until you do some research do you realise how much history Guernsey actually has. During the middle ages, around 1100-1200, St Peter Port used to be a small settlement built on steep cliffs. Half way down these steps there’s a passageway which marked the eastern boundary of the medieval town which lead down to a beach. I would love to go back (fully vaccinated) to see what it was like.

Have a read here, its actually quite interesting!

STORM END

Pretty chilly and windy morning to leave my nice warm bed but these are the ideal conditions to get out and shoot. Unpredictable and changeable clouds every few minutes, rainbows, sun rays and bursts of light that you just don’t get when it’s nice.

Part two on my #instagram soon.

WELCOME TO JUNE

Where the sun shines bright and the days seem to last forever. BBQ’s and beaches, trips to Herm and the smell of sun-cream in the air. Enjoy your weekend!

Nightfall over one of St Peter Ports busiest streets.

Just before the fog rolled in from the east, there was a little hint of summer in the air.

FINAL CUT

You may have already noticed a familiar face in town today. Just over a year ago, Alana and three other kids were involved in a marketing campaign for Specsavers. We all assumed it was done and dusted and then it finally surfaced! Now it’s all public I’ll post some behind the scenes photos to show how much fun they had.

DARK NIGHT

One of those days where giving up this whole project crossed my mind a few times. But, I don’t quit easily. Even if I have to leave my nice warm house to venture into the rain, I will get a shot somehow!
