Hi. I've decided to take the summer off from social media, and largely from landscape photography too (although my training, commercial photography, and weekly blogs will be business as usual, of course!)

If you're interested, you can read the reasons why in my latest blog (link in comments)
Hi! I hope you're well and are had a good summer.

Just a quick post to say that I will soon be back on social media a little (but sadly not Bluesky).

There's a link to a blog explaining where you can find me, in the comments on this post.

Here's a recent photo just for attention...

Morning! This week we are embracing the muted tones of a foggy spring morning on the Exeter Canal. First it's the subtle colours of some boats, hidden in the mist and reflected in the calm waters of the canal....

Morning! 🙂
Finally on 'Blossom & bluebells' week is another spring sunrise at another Dorset bluebell woodland. Never get tired of bluebells, although it's a shame spring sunrises are so flipping early! 😆

Morning! This week is bluebell and blossom week, and next we are visiting a bluebell wood, but using a bit of ICM (Intentional Camera Motion) to produce an artistic impression of a bluebell wood at sunrise? ICM is a bit Marmite - so, do you love ICM photography or hate it???

Happy Monday! This week is bluebell and blossom week, and first is a beautiful Dartmoor lone tree, covered in blossom, set against a spring sunrise....

Morning!

I've been struggling a bit with motivation to get out with the camera recently but I did manage to catch a bit of blossom and some bluebells during a couple of early morning trips. So, next week is 'Blossom & bluebells' week!

Have a great weekend! 😀

Morning! Finally on my series of shots from a foggy sunrise at Colmer's Hill is a shot I've been trying to get for years! Finally I got the iconic shot of the fog almost covering the hill, with just the trees poking above the inversion - worth waiting five years for! 😂

Morning! This week I'm posting a series of drone shots from an amazing foggy sunrise at the iconic Colmer's Hill near Bridport. First is a shot of dawn as the fog began to swirl around the base of the hill and the sun began to rise....

Good Morning 🙂

Finally on our visit to the Burnham On Sea lighthouse is the lighthouse reflected in the water as the tide retreated, and the setting sun started to paint the clouds with pastel hues...
