Combesgate Dilemma Competition and Results Update

June 24, 2015

As part of the Joon Projeck, I wandered down to Combesgate (a little low tide cove) after Grom Club tonight to shoot todays photo. I sorta had it in my head to do a ‘rock pool – into the light – seaweed – water moving’ type thing shot as the tide came in. There was […]

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 + […]

Autumnk Projeck

To map the autumn here in North Devon 2014: Every week I will post one photo and some or no words to compliment the image, or not as the case may be. No GPS location or technical detail. Images posted mid-week, click on the image to make it bigger & sexier. Scroll down for latest […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Planet. Future. Choice. Death.

January 18, 2014

The high tides and recent storm have washed alot of debris on to our beach, a staggering amount of it was small pieces of plastic. Today the local community rallied together to clean up the beach, which is such an important resource to everyone, in astonishing numbers. Who said there was no such thing as […]

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 […]
