Sunset

BEDROOM VIEW

18.06.21

Both kids have north facing bedrooms so don’t really get to see many nice sunsets in the spring and winter but in late spring and summer I try to encourage them to just spend ten minutes looking out the window and admiring the sky.

FERMAIN LIGHT

06.06.21

This was not what I had planned, I set out to capture the fog over Herm and Jethou but I could see the sun illuminating the coast from round the corner so ran as fast as I could (and nearly died) to catch the light as it beamed over the hill.

SUNDOWN

17.05.21

Today was what is commonly referred to a ‘creative block’. Absolute blank mind, and after nearly three weeks of part time decorating, my mind is fried. The sunset was the best it got for me.

THE RUSH

25.04.21

After weeks of stunning calm days, the gales nearly put me off heading out this evening. But, I always have one eye up in sky just in case there’s some cloud worth freezing my arse off for.

FREEDOM

22.03.21

There’s something about Rousse that draws me back throughout the year. I’ve had a vision for an image (other that the same old landscape shots I get sucked into) but never found the right focal length, position or light to get it right. Today, I found my vision.

It needed to be layered. Foreground, middle and background with features of the bays in each. I’m happy with this and I can finally let it go!

GOLDEN DUNES

11.03.21

Really spoilt for choice with shots today. Port Soif had some amazing swell this morning, rainbows at lunch and this stunning golden light after work. The wind was blowing at least 45-50mph, sand blowing in my face (a tripod was out of the question) and even had sand between my teeth. I like to make things hard for myself but the rewards are so worth the battles.
