Rain
01.11.21
The penultimate month and it kicked off pretty wet! I was too tired to battle the wether so held off and got the aftermath of the downpour.

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.

Spend way too much time relaxing today and the motivation was well gone by the time I went out. The rain was lingering overhead and all I wanted to do was just veg on the sofa.

After an unsuccessful trip this morning, the drive home gave a little taste of a rainbow.

When the sun sets through the rain! Fascinating skies, made even better when the colours just exploded.

Rocquaine under a heavy and angry sky. Pretty much non stop like this for the last few day but this just adds to the excitement of being out hunting down an image.

Surreal light as the hail shower passed over me this morning. I was prepared with waterproofs and an umbrella but being in the middle of it and being in the moment makes it all worth while.

Part of me wishes I’d traveled the extra mile to be on the other side of this rain cloud but it was still a fascinating sight to watch the curtain of rain pass across Rocquaine.

After an hour round trip to Pleinmont this morning, the only shot I actually liked was the rain falling behind Herm. Pretty much sums up the weather for the day I think. Stay warm, I’m off to eat steak and drink beer all day.

A mix of rain, hail, sleet and sunshine drifting in from the North.

The amazing and uninterrupted views from Jerbourg looking out towards Jersey and beyond. It felt like I was above the clouds looking down on the rain drifting across the channel.

I’d set up on the pier before the hail started hammering down. Luckily the store has a great sheltered vantage point to watch the weather do it’s thing.

Bare trees and dying leaves. In the rain they just seem to stick out with a softness that you just can’t get with strong sunlight.

When it rains for 90% of the day, it’s sometimes easier to just whip out the phone and just experiment without the restriction of lens selection and worrying about drying out the gear later.

Stopped off a Vale Rec on the way home to catch the second half against Manzur. No goals but to be able to rock up and watch a game with no restrictions is a thing I should embrace. Set up the tripod using my car boot as a shield to keep dryish.

Queuing up for an ice cream seems like a distant memory now. This time last month the temperatures were heading into the 30’s. The thought of some nice warm bean jar and fresh bread is more appealing at the moment.

In my head I’d hoped the rain would die down a little this morning but it just got worse and worse. Just wasn’t meant to be today so I went and bought myself the Lego 1970 Dodge Charger to build.

This summer seems to have flown by quicker than normal. Maybe I’ve actually made the most of it and tried to hold on for too long but one thing is apparent, the leaves are fading and on a grey day things are starting to look a little orange.

Perfect weather for ducks today so sticking with that theme was a fairly simple task.

Had a proper risk analysis moment with this one. Even at low tide the strong winds were bringing the sea over the pier and a massive rain cloud was edging closer. I had about 10 minutes to pull something off and for 2-3 of those minutes the sky pumped out some dreamy colours.
