Guernsey- Les Vardes quarry

Great walk round the rim of the quarry and excellent time to practise panoramas. Lucky with the light when we arrived baclighting the smoke and dust. Even saw a peregrine.

Guernsey - Essence of Herm

We were not lucky with the weather on Herm as the thick cloud didn't really do justice to the colours and resulted in a bit of rain towards the end of the day. However, the beauty of the beaches, especially Shell Beach, still leaves a lasting impression.

Guernsey: Herm Project - Stripes

For our visit to Herm on Tuesday, we set a project to do 10 photos on a topic - here is mine - stripes in nature

Guernsey - Rain Stopped Play at the Pools

These are the only shots I was able to keep from the evening shoot at the pools; the rest were spoiled by rain on the lens despite constant cleaning. They are in the order taken with the following settings (for future ref. ISO500)  27 sec f22, 15  sec F22 , 27 sec f5.6, 40 sec f5.6, 17 sec f5.6 (very underexposed),10 sec f5.6 (very underexposed)). We were forced to abandon the shoot when the rain got heavier - probably just as well as Jonathan might well have ended up with very wet feet as the tide was rising

Guernsey: Lihou Island

The tides were right for an afternoon walk across the causeway to Lihou Island: a peaceful place dominated by lichen-covered rocks, flowers and birds. It was an overcast afternoon but this helped bring out the colours and an occasional small break in the clouds gave lovely light around the lighthouse.

 

Colours of a Guernsey Seascapes

Yesterday was mainly heavy to light cloud but the beautiful colours of the rocks and sea still dominated the scenes on a walk along to the headland at Cobo.
