Finally got my second baby back (The 5D MkIV) from Canon. Took her out to town to do a bit of sight seeing.
New mirror box and shutter, upgraded to the newer 2019 version! Happy days.

The stunning south coast above Petit Bot. Go the extra ten minutes around the paths and you get some stunning views out to sea.

Stunning colors in the sky shortly after sunset!
I’ve always thought this rocky outcrop looks like two dogs sitting back to back. A Great Dane on the left and a Bulldog on the right?

Literally raining for the whole day but managed a quick shot on my way home this evening. Took shelter under a balcony above which just about kept me dry. On the plus side my grass is green again!

Wandering around the Fishing Quay, looking for anything that seems a little abstract in shape or colour.

Quite the impressive vessel in Havelet this morning, the NKT Victoria bringing in the undersea power cable from Jersey.

Fierce swell coming in from the Atlantic over the last few days. This is relatively calm in comparison but I wouldn’t want to be swept away in these conditions.

One of the islands most popular tourist destination and for good reason.

Hunting the town for some puddle reflections but it was short lived as I spent 90% of my time cleaning rain off the lens. This was the best I could come up with.

Taken from the tearooms, I just really liked the view.

He starts off with a few small pebbles, then it quickly turns into a personal challenge to lift and smash the largest rock he can lift. Daddy taught him well.

Even a tripod was unstable in this wind. I had to resort to lying on my belly to keep the camera still. The filters acted as a wind shield and I couldn’t keep up with cleaning off the spray so they had do go and hope that the raw files can retain some details without them.

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.

Must have used every obscenity in the English language battling through traffic this morning, knowing and watching the fantastic light fade. Luckily I had a 2-3 minute window before this amazing sight disappeared.

Some moments you just can’t miss, even if it means running down the road unnoticed while everyone is having breakfast.

Nothing fascinates me more than the forces of nature but seeing Cobo taking a beating this morning makes you realise how vulnerable the low lying areas really are.

A shot I’ve wanted to take for years but never got round to it. I think this would work better late winter when the morning sun fills up the street a little more. Still a classic Guernsey street scene.

This is the weather I crave over the summer. Gale force winds, violent seas and that gorgeous autumn light sits lower in the sky lifting the golden ferns on the cliff face.

Part of Guernsey’s only 5* hotel, the OGH is the closest you’ll get to the Ritz on the rock.
