PONY PORTRAIT

07.03.18

One of my favourite images from today's local safari tour around St Saviour.  Part of the challenge is setting out with a theme in mind and just see what you can find.  Luckily for me this pony was happy to stop eating grass long enough for a few poses.

VENUS POOLS

04.03.18

Fancied another walk around Lihou this afternoon with the intention of shooting the Venus Pools.  The shot I had in mind needed an overcast or cloudier day but I did find the pools very well signposted.

SPRING

01.03.18

I've taken hundreds of photographs over the last few days but near the end of the pile was one of my favorites.  Walking back up the hill from Moulin Huet I passed an old lady, turned around and snapped.  The lonely figure just made the image for me.  All the thinking that goes into making an image and sometimes its the spotanious ones that make you happy.

SNOWY BEACH

28.02.18

The snow has lingered around all day and temperatures barely moved above zero.  Trying to capture it all is impossible but I always told myself to just go back to familiar places I know and love and record the moments to look back on.

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.
