WINTER WALKERS

25.02.18

Sunday afternoon trek around the lanes of St Andrew's.  Jude wand Alana were having a great time walking together.  Love those shades :)

GUERNSEY RALLY

24.02.18

Great to see this event finally taking place in Guernsey.  I only managed to see an hour late afternoon but really enjoyed it.  You needed to be a bit adventurous on foot to find a good spot.

I knew from the start I didnt want to purely focus on the cars, it needed to a 'scene' from the event.

DAILY COMMUTE

22.02.18

My daily commute to and from work in St Martin, twice a day for the last 15 years! Some days I mix it up and go round the west coast :)

POSTCARD VIEW

21.02.18

I almost ditched these shots because of the blown out highlights but I really liked the light over the rooftops and the way it catches the granite wall to the left. 

5 shot vertical panoramic to maximize the sky,  whilst still retaining the different terraced levels in the foreground that makes our town so unique.  My ideal 'Postcard Guernsey' shot.

BUG HUNT

20.02.18

Finding insects other than flies at this time of year is extremely difficult.  I scoured about an acre of land and eventually came across one ladybird taking in the midday sun.  

Focus is a little soft on the eyes but I like the soft colors in this particular shot.

MOODY BLUES

18.02.18

Had a pretty small window with this one.  The tide was crashing up against the pool, barely missing my camera.  The seaweed gives you an idea of the of the challenge!

SPRING FRESH

17.02.18

When 12 degress feels like summer, you know the recent weather must have been cold.  So warm I even convinced Danni to trek to Moulin Huet for lunch!

MOTION

16.02.18

The weather turned a little bit late afternoon and kind of ruined my plans for today so here is backup Plan B.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

15.02.18

After waiting patiently for quite a while this pheasant clocked me when I thought it was safe to move closer and get my shot.  The only image in focus of him running away into the marshy wetlands.  

Nice to have a break from landscapes for a few days though, enjoying the challenge of finding something from nothing.  Its how I remember the start of my adventures back in 2015.

ST MICHEL DU VALLE

14.02.18

With a total of 16 different light switches, I finally settled for the uplighters which were fitted with some pleasant coloured LED's.  

A sensitive modern twist on a building over a thousand years old!

RURAL GUERNSEY

13.02.18

They call us Guernsey folk 'Donkeys' because of our stubborness (apparently) but after these donkeys had been out in last nights gales, I'd say its a symbol of strength and character :) 

 

 

 

 

MOULIN HUET II

12.02.18

Its a beach that's grown on me over the years.  I used to see an overwhelming maze or unsightly rocks with little to no interest but now I see a goldmine with hundreds of different compositions.  

PARK LIFE

10.02.18

Been a bit of lazy tv day for us but we did manage to get up to Delancey for an hour with the kids.  You wouldn't believe how difficult it was to get this shot sharp with the g-force trying to throw me off the roundabout, plus 1/60th shutter!
