CLOSE ENCOUNTERS

31.01.18

I spotted about 20 chickens in a field, as soon as I stopped my car they all came running over to me with their crazy waddle.  This guy seemed to be the leader :)

MIRRORED

30.01.18

The sunrise that didn't quite happen, but for a breif moment the wind dropped to 2mph and the model yacht pond produced a perfect mirror image.

FORT PEMBROKE

28.01.18

The best I could do with the flat light this morning.  Still a  bit of detail and colour in the clouds but this needs another attemot with better light.

BORDEAUX HARBOUR

27.01.18

Bordeaux is always a good shout and this morning did not disappoint!  The rain was gently falling overhead, but it all added together to create some gorgeous colours in the sky.

Canon EOS 70D - EF17-40mm f4L

17mm / ƒ/11 / 1/10s / ISO 200

SHINGLE BANK

25.01.18

Lunchtime stroll out west to one of the islands most important conservation areas.  An hour later in the day and the light would have been perfect!

MOULIN HUET

24.01.18

The ever changing effects of the seasons and the sudden shifting tides makes this a great place all year round.  A beach with many moods to play with.  Legendary renaissance painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted 15 famous pieces down here during the late 1800's

In 19th century guidebooks, Moulin Huet was consistently singled out as one of Guernsey's finest attractions!

 

 

LE BEQUET LANE

23.01.18

One of the great things about Guernsey is the ever changing weather.  Fog just adds atmosphere and a mystery to an scene.  Perfect photography weather, just wish I had more free time in the day!

ROUSSE

21.01.18

When the tides are out you can walk all the way across to Les Ammareurs Bay.  FYI its exactly half a mile each way.

DARK AND MOODY

20.01.18

Never actually been down the ladder to this beach and the tides seemed to be in my favour.  A few technical issues with spears on the filters from wiping away sea spray but it was to be out in the wild :)

CASTLE PIER

19.01.18

St Peter Port's prominent lighthouse catching the glorious morning sunshine.  The clouds overhead had their own ideas!

DEEP WINTER

17.01.18

A classic Guernsey scene at Vazon Bay.

The sands have receded, the winds are howling and the rain just won't give up but before you know it, the heatwaves will return and winter will be a distant memory. 

TRUE NORTH

16.01.18

With the midday sun placed perfectly south, I traveled the length of the island and waited for the perfect opportunity.  Obsessively studying the weather patterns eventually pays off.  Don't fight the weather, work with it but be prepared to run like you've never run before :)

TOWN CHURCH

15.01.18

5 shot vertical panoramic down the central nave of The Town Church.  When a wide angle lens just isn't enough, use what you've got an make it wider!

BLACK & WHITE

14.01.18

The weather was stunning late afternoon, but the light was a little flat just before sunset. Experimenting with a black and white conversion to lift it back up again.
