Beauty and the beasts of the North.

SUNRISE RAINBOW

April 21, 2020 in Photography

We all see rainbows but seeing them so big as the sun rises or sets is very rare. In the 6 years I’ve been obsessing over photography, I’ve only ever seen this three times. Not the best location for it but a photo than needed to be taken.

SEA GLASS

Loving these gorgeous still mornings. With such a large tidal range at the moment, you need to work quickly. One minute you set up, the next you’re nearly knee deep in water.

Words cannot describe how stunning it was this morning, so here’s a picture instead.

NEW DAWN

New week, new challenges but with a week of sunshine it can only get better right?

BORDEAUX

14.03.20

With such big tides and a relatively flat seabed, I was forced away from my initial set up pretty quickly. The good thing was it forced me to not shoot the same old thing. That said, I will be back when all the boats are back in the water.

SAINTS

The calm before the storm. I’ve always thought a few deck chairs and a small table would finish off this store. Perfect for any weather but sunny morning really bring it to life.

PORTELET HARBOUR

Its hard to believe that this is how high the midday sun gets in winter. A welcome site after all the grey days we’ve had so far.

HARBOUR LIGHT

Another mad dash to find a spot this morning. Not quite as spectacular as yesterday, still worth a shot though.

THE LONG WAY HOME

Bordeaux at low tide is a great place to explore with all the boats and ripples in the sand, its just a case of putting it all into one frame.

BEAUTY & THE BEASTS

I try to mix things up everyday but when time is short, revisiting locations is the only option. Harbour cranes set the perfect contrast of industrial workhorses and natural wonders.

SEPTEMBER RAIN

Autumn finally settling in and it was only a matter of time before a rainbow appeared. As soon as this rain cloud rolled in I knew where I had to be.

THE BRIDGE

Calm and fiery sunrise this morning. The forecast was clear blue skies, this was anything but that!

Absolutely stunning morning! Perfectly pink clouds with a light shallow mist rolling across L'Ancresse. Truly magical!

FIRST LIGHT

Got up to let the pooch out at 05:15 and the sky was starting to pick up a bit of colour. Mad (but sensible) drive to the coast with minutes to spare before all the clouds moved east.

GREY DAYS

August 08, 2019 in Photography

08.08.19

Finding inspiration is all part of the challenge but on days like this it’s harder than ever to get a shot I’m happy with. The tides, wind direction and cloud cover were just about favourable to pull this one off. A few more breaks in the cloud would have been nice but you can’t win them all!

N'AUTOCROSS

50th Anniversary Autocross meeting, first to be held in St Sampson harbour since 2001. Trying to ‘frame’ a shot proved difficult with obvious viewing restrictions.

The island’s beaches have always been a great source of inspiration for me. Les Amarreurs is my ‘go to’ place close to home. Technically a working harbour, there’s always something to shoot.
