Windy Skies and Early Snowdrops

Yesterday was very windy all over the country due to Gertrude - in Cambridgeshire the rain cleared in the afternoon so went out with big stopper filter to take some long exposures - one and three are 30 second exposure while two is one second.

Last week, we visited Anglesey Abbey where the snowdrops were in full bloom.

CRUFC Beat Barnes 62-15

Intermittent sunshine and very strong winds for match against Barnes which CRUFC managed to win convincingly with 62 to 15.

Rough Seas and Surfer

More images from the weekend in Norfolk. First four from Happisburgh and last one of surfer having fun at Sea Palling.

Stormy Seas in Dorset

Our nature photography day was cancelled because of heavy rain and high winds so we visited Lyme Regis and Burton Bradstock. They decided to launch the Lifeboat and do some manouevres.

Rough Seas at Margate

Very rough sea in Margate today as well as heavy rain made exciting but very wet photography task. I managed to keep the camera dry under my jacket but did get drenched a few times by the waves.

Windy Sky

The sky at lunchtime today was so striking that I took the camera a couple of hundred metres up our track to get a clearer view.

Infrared really brings out the cloud and vapour trails

Two Gannet Images

These are two images from a recent trip to Bass Rock in Scotland to observe the Gannet Colony. There are 50,000 breeding pairs on the rock and almost as many non-breeding pairs.

This is one of my favourites as it shows all the stages of gannets diving for fish. It was taken from the fishing boat taking us to the island after fish had been thrown overboard.

It was a windy day so the gannets coming into land hovered in the updraft allowing some good shots of their flying techniques.

I am in the process of revamping my website and these and more images from the trip will appear in due course!
