One night in June (Projeck)

July 4, 2014

Last year I took a photo every day in June and called it the June Projeck (https://esterspears.com/2013/06/01/june-project/) . This year I took 100 photos on one magical night.. The sunset over two of my favourite places; Lundy island & Morte Point, then the moonrise over my street at home & then moonset over Baggy point […]

Misty Mornings, Stunning Sunsets & Bluebells

May 11, 2014

It’s been a busy spring for me and I haven’t really been on any massive photo missions, just an odd pic snatched here and there in between the mayhem of a late middle-aged life (life adjustment) (not gloing to iuse the ‘c’ word) … Here’s a selection of the best of spring 2014 here in […]

Five go mad at Tibbetts

Steamy Windows

February 8, 2014

Another weekend and another apocalyptic storm, as I write the Sevenstones Lightship has just tweeted from 18 miles off Lands End: “It’s Feb 8, 2014 @ 5pm ; Wind = W (270°) 45.1 knots; Swell = 30.5 ft @ 12 seconds….” Here’s a few pix from North Devon today of those 30 foot waves and […]

Lynmouth in Black & White

February 5, 2014

Big swell today with gusting, blustery strong winds tearing into it, and rain. This double overhead set went through Blacklands today totally unmolested by any surfers. In the old days of transparency film and in the light of the mantra “tight and bright” from editors, we didnt used to shoot (and waste film) on overcast […]

Winter Wandering on Exmoor

January 23, 2014

A chance meeting, some like-minded friends and living in one of the most awesome places on planet earth conspired to a fabulous day out exploring Exmoor today. Thanks to the knowledge and skill of Neil Osmond, we travelled to places on ‘the moor’ that I have never seen in 35 years of living in this […]

Rhenish tower and storm waves

January 6, 2014

The bouys were going ballistic; pumping out all time numbers; 30 foot at 12 seconds. It was possibly the most anticipated swell of the social media age. The images and footage will keep us entertained through the dark days of January especially ‘depression monday’, ‘bankrupt tuesday’ and (my favourite) ‘alcoholic wednesday’. But anyway, this is […]

January Projeck

January 1, 2014

One photo, everyday, in the bleak mid-winter; it’s not gonna be pretty. It will certainly test the low light capabilities of the 5D mk3 (and it’s weatherproofing). Scroll down for latest picture then click on it to make it h- yeew-ge. Wednesday 1st View of Woolacombe from Morte Point. Thursday 2nd Chickens in the yard, […]

Happy New Year Slabhunters..

January 1, 2014

..lets hope it’s a peaceful one with plenty of swell. Here in North Devon the weather did nothing to help relieve the festive hangover, it was damp and windy and the fields are knee deep in mid-winter mud, not suitable for a gentle perambulation, but with a mahoosive swell running; it was ideal for slab […]

Saturday Super Snaps

December 14, 2013

These pix are some local guys feesurfing the backbeach, (avec Stuey Campbell, Lloydy, Will Bailey, Matt Knight, Gibbo, Lyndon and others) when they shoulda been shopping with their better halfs. If you click on the pic, it makes it bigger – maze balls. Canon 5D mk3 w/600mm f4 L IS ©estpix
