Evening storm

On a Wednesday night I will often walk with friends on Dartmoor however it has rained quite a lot recently so we decided to take a shorter walk in the Bay.

This shows the storm approaching.

There was a fairly brief storm, rain, hail, sleet  (which we did not [...]

Dawn and an easterly wind

Given the fact that Summer time will start soon making dawn earlier I thought I’d try and catch one before having to get out of bed very early. The forecast was for clear skies (right this time) but I’d missed the forecasted temperatures.

It was pretty close [...]

The opportunities of Spring tides

The weather was quite good and it was the last of the really low Spring tides of the season.  It seemed worthwhile exploring the shoreline to see what might be exposed that would not be on normal low tides.

The low tide made the sign on Paignton harbour wall unnecessary [...]

Reflections on reflections

This post does not relate to any specific photo shoot but to the fact that, from time to time, I realise I am paying as much attention to the reflections I see as the conventional view.  The one above brings a little summer to the winter weather.  As with some of [...]

Winter watersports

Following up on the beachcombing from a few days ago we wandered the seafront in Preston and Paignton yesterday in some good winter light.  The tide was a little high for any further rock pool work but there were things happening as we walked along the beach.

The [...]

Varying Winter light

Out and about locally yesterday gave some differing and interesting light conditions. In the morning I was in Torbay wandering around on the coast.

The combination of the light and cloud over the Berry Head headland were very striking (and appealing). The light on a sea that was quite calm [...]

The effects of the sea

The photography course that I am doing is extremely rewarding and without it the images for this photo shoot would be quite different.  I now look at things with a somewhat different eye.  Someone has suggested I am getting a ‘house style’ but I haven’t spotted it for myself yet!

Dawn in Torbay

The forecast was for a clear dawn so it was up early and out to catch some dawn light.

It was not as good as last time (I’ll post those images another time maybe) but we did catch dawn & some early light.  Some of the images may get used on the photography [...]

A walk along the coast path

It looked like the day was going to be quite good so we decided to take a fairly short walk along the local part of the South West Coast Path.

I did learn to check the iso settings on the camera from time to time – I’d inadvertently taken some at 800 iso [...]
