Black Rock Project
I’ve been photographing this rock at my local beach for the past month or so and am still not completely happy with the results. So I thought I’d share my best photos so far, and explain my vision for this spot. The conditions needed are part of the jigsaw to get the image, firstly there […]
After the rain
January 6, 2024
As the planet warms up, there will be more moisture in the air and therefore more rain. This winter has been exceptionally wet so far here in North Devon. It can be fair to say that it has rained every day for the past 10 weeks… However, when the rain stops then a muddy plod […]

Bimble from Brendon to the Sea
December 11, 2023
Friends are the oxygen of contentment in the christmas pickled onions of your brief existence on this lovely blue planet, we call home. Here’s some photos of a futile wander down the East Lyn to Hoar Oak Water and onwards down to Lynmouth. Where there is a house they called the Rising Sun, it’s been […]
Night Moves, Purring Crickets and Goatsuckers
July 12, 2023
Very privileged to be shown a nightjar spot on Exmoor. Night jars arrive from Africa in the spring and are gone by late August, ancient folk tales refer to them as goat suckers as they were meant to steal milk from your goats at night. In actual fact they eat mostly moths and bugs. In […]
All quiet on the rock
July 4, 2023
It’s not very often that you visit Lundy when it’s not windy, it is a lump of rock stuck out in the middle of the Bristol channel after all but when it’s calm, it’s beguiling. All the noise is stripped away and you can hear the subtle sounds of the island, not just the shouters, […]
Lundy Summer Seabirds
July 3, 2023
LSS (Splitters!). I’ve been lucky enough to have my second stay in Tibbetts this year, and on a hot week in June, it was a joy; not only as a mid season break from work but to test the XT-5 and it’s new auto-focus algorithms – especially on the seabirds population. It’s not all about […]
All aboard the Skylark
May 22, 2023
Tucked away in an hidden corner on the edge of Exmoor, near the highest sea cliffs in England, is Skylark Cabin. Perfectly isolated in the wooded pastures and big skies of never ever heard anyone land. A rustic cabin with an outside bath, built mainly of recycled materials and a perfect antidote to all the […]

Except when it’s blue. Bells near Whithypool> Barle Beach hedge, 200 years later. Spring beach. Exmoor orchids. […]
