HEAVY RAIN

in

08.08.21

For me, the clouds and rain make or break a landscape image. I know exactly what I want in my head and I will search for those visions if it means I get absolutely soaked and using a valuable Sunday lie in. After nearly 7 years of exploring almost every square mile of the island, it’s nearly impossible to find new locations. The answer is to keep going back to your favourites and see it in a different light.

AFTER THE STORM

After the excitement of this mornings unseasonal gale force winds it was nice to feel a little bit of warmth and ditch the winter gear. I did notice there were three conger eels drying out in the back of the boat. Is this a Guernsey thing i’ve missed?

ROCKY SHORES

With the longest day looming, the sun is almost at it’s most northerly point this side of the world. The intense orange glow seems to last ages which is great if you’re chasing the tides to get a composition. They don’t call Guernsey ‘The Rock’ for being a flat barren landscape!

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.

LE GRANDE HARVE

Some days it all comes down to being in the right place at the right time, or, knowing what you want! The clouds looked like they were picking up some colour about an hour before sunset and the wind was blowing an opening in the clouds in the right direction. All I had to do was get into position and wait for some sun to pop through.

Over the years I’ve learnt to really appreciate our coastline. From the wildlife and and flowers in the spring to the spectacular and violent seas in the winter, nothing clears your head more than getting out and experiencing what’s on our doorstep. That said, my toes and fingers had lost all feeling by the time I took this. Must get thicker gloves and socks!
