After the snowstorm, two years ago. I wasn’t out to take photos, but I had a camera in my backpack — just in case. Then suddenly, the clouds dropped below me, the sky cleared, and a single lenticular cloud drifted above Mont Blanc.

Pale horse. A stroll on Dartmoor usually provides either a memorable interaction with local wildlife, or something dramatic. Sometimes both!

Sometimes it’s really lovely to get back to wildlife photography, and really you can’t get more wild than shooting the wonderful stripes of a Amur Tiger. Regal, and he knows it.

Godrevy. Cornwall. One of my favourite places in Cornwall, I try to make a trip down here at least once a year, and never have I failed to come away without a dramatic composition.

Aside from very briefly in November, winter hasn’t really claimed Cornwall. I have a certain fondness for those crisp, frosty days, the snap in the air and crunch under foot.

These water lilies were enjoying life in a canal at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge on a foggy morning. This image was made with a full spectrum camera and a 720nm filter. Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. #photography #landscapephotraphy #infrared #infraredphotography #720nm

Happy Winter Solstice!

These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure.

Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice.

The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds
Back in the December of 2018 heavy winds ravaged Cornwall causing chaos over the county. Falmouth was heavily hit, gales so strong literally tearing a container ship from its moorings and washing it upon a nearby beach.

Snowy egrets don't fly, they dance in the air.
Bodmin moor, Cornwall UK. Cornwall is a strange place, full of beautiful landscape, and drama.

The Great Sausage and his lady friends.

During mating season, male South American sea lions claim territory, herd females into the territory, and then fiercely defend them from other males. Note his tiny ears!
