Grom Dawn Patrol

June 4, 2015

Stardate; early June. Planet; Woolacombe high tide. Yesterdays swell has cleaned up, not perfect waves but with such gorgeous light it would be rude not to dust off the 600mm f4. Add to that a bunch of surf-starved frothing groms (old & young) and it was worth the 5am alarm. Canon 5D mk 3 + […]

Happy New Year! Let’s dance

January 2, 2015

It’s fifty shades of brown on the moor at the moment and if you are lucky enough to get it ‘all lit up’ by some weak winter sunshine; the mood becomes magical. To cap off another great drive on the moor with the indomitable Neil Osmond of Experience Exmoor, we caught these two young ladies […]

Equinox Sunset

September 24, 2014

One photo every week in Autumn. Starting today at the Autumn equinox. It is often unclear when one season ends an another begins. This assignment will map the map the transition from the most fabulous summer in recent memory to deepest winter, here in North Devon. Undoubtedly there will be photos of mists, moss and […]

September’s Inn – dunkin swallows

September 4, 2014

September is a month that promises so much, after a brief but hectic summer ‘season’ the schools have reclaimed their froth (and legropes), leaving us and the beaches relatively empty and it gives a chance for ‘us’ lucky locals to enjoy the late summer sunshine (and surf) in peace and quiet – without the heartache […]

Beach

July 27, 2014

Just a few pictures of the hottest week of the year so far, including the ones the BBC wanted to use “for a credit”; no bitching about the – lack of surf, the state of (surf) photography, the sticky nights(!), the overcrowding, the abysmal driving skills of the visitors, the litter, the dog poo or […]

Swallows projeck

July 16, 2014

Part 1. Horse flies bring salad days for swallows. All the biting insects about this summer may be bad news for gardeners and horses but for swallows, swifts, martins and other insect eating birds it’s ‘ happy days’. The European swallow (Monty Python) or more correctly the Barn Swallow, heralds the beginning of summer when […]

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 […]

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 […]
