RED ROCKS

in

14.01.22

Some beautiful colours on the horizon all around the island this morning. I stopped in the car park to admire it and noticed the red rocks were catching and amplifying a deep glow.

SHALLOW MIST

in

11.01.22

I absolutely love L’Ancresse when it’s shrouded by mist. You have to get up to higher ground to really appreciate the view because lower down it was like being in a cloud!

MOULIN HUET

in

09.01.22

Rain, rain and more rain. There’s a theme occuring this year! When there’s breaks in the cloud, I love the rain because that’s when the magic can happen. When it’s solid grey grey, that sucks.

There wasn't as much strong winter sun as I’d hoped although the shadows and highlights are much easier to control when it’s like this. I did nearly get cut off, five more minutes and I would of had to deal with some sketchy submerged rocks!

NEW DAWN

in

09.12.21

Head in the sky at 06:30, there was a strong hint that the sky was going to burst into life. Some days it’s worth travelling the extra few miles to really experience these moments.

Every time I come down here there seems to be less and less pine trees. Either fallen in the wind or cut down at the need of their life. I’ve got a feeling the remaining pine’s won’t be around for too much longer.

SHEPHERDS WARNING

in

06.12.21

Believe it or not, there is some scientific understanding to the rhyme, “Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning”!

A quote from he Met Office - "Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning" means a red sky appears due to the high-pressure weather system having already moved east meaning the good weather has passed, most likely making way for a wet and windy low-pressure system.”

THE JOURNEY

in

23.11.21

Always expect the unexpected! I always feel like I’m letting myself down a bit by visiting the same location time and time again but every now and then, something really magical happens. The sun position was perfectly positioned behind the church roof, cloud cover was spot on and the colours were just phenomenal.

For me, it’s all about the journey. Without being here, I would have missed this and the experience and feeling you get can’t be explained in words.

MARBLE RUN

in

13.11.21

I almost pulled the covers over my head this morning but me being me, got up anyway to check the sky and I could see it starting to pick up some colour 45 minutes earlier. A 5 mile drive later and a mad run down to Marble Bay I was greeted with this stunning sky. Sometimes a little extra effort goes a long way.

This is a good example of how the higher level clouds pick up the colour in the atmosphere.

GOLDEN LIGHT

in

28.10.21

I try to save this location for special, colourful sunrises and this one was no exception. I had a little issue wit the waves crashing over behind me which was a bit sketchy but I used myself as a shield and stuck with it and I was quite pleased with the results.

FOG HORN

in

24.10.21

Fog & Signal Station at St Martins Point.

I came here yesterday but the sun was only visible through a tiny break on the horizon so I decided to return this morning with a bit more light in my favour. I had to shield the camera from the wind and wipe the filters after each shot which was a pain in the arse because all my cleaning cloths are now coated in salty water.
