COLOURS OF DAWN

21.01.21

For a brief moment this morning, there was a small reminder of why I still do this every day! These sights have been rare in the last few months but I try to make sure I witness as many of them as possible and always aim to improve on the last. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it’s best to move on. Bordeaux is pretty much on my doorstep which is why I’ve spent so much time here over the years. Five minutes after this, the rain rolled in and that was it for the day. Back to the usual British weather.

MOULIN HUET

in

As the tide recedes, Moulin Huet transforms into from treacherous rocky coast to a golden sandy beach. Half way down you get a mix of sand and strange spongy rock formations which created hundreds of rock pools to play with. Besides the cold, this place is an amazing playground with the camera, especially in the winter.

This was about 08:30, just as the sun was rising over Jerbourg.

SAINTS PIER

01.12.20

The first day of the meteorological winter, observed from Saints Bay. The tides were perfect and just enough hazy cloud on the horizon to keep the highlights balanced. 30 days left and that would be six years non stop daily photography (2162 days to date). I’ve filled nearly 8TB of storage and many more GB’s thrown away to make space. In my mind, I’m still only getting started!

This is the third morning in a row I’ve tried this shot, either the light was too harsh or too flat. My rule is, if your not happy with it after three attempts, move on and find another subject. Luckily there were small pockets of light which illumined the buildings in the distance and I was almost happy with it. HDR blend of three images.

LIBERATED

09.05.20

I’m genuinely gutted we couldn’t celebrate properly today, not only for Liberation Day but just being with all our mates and letting the kids mingle and have fun. On the plus side, I wasn’t drunk so I could shoot out and grab some photographs to make up for it.
