Day tripping Lundy dreaming

May 26, 2017

Maytime, the early boat from Bideford, despite getting up at minus-saturday to make the 8am sailing you are rewarded with a few extra hours of island time. The weather, the fresh late spring easy and an Lundy first timer all make for a magical encounter, these shots from the full frame and standard lens have […]

Midnight at the Oasis

January 30, 2017

Finally got round to sorting these photos out, taken with the Canon 5D mk lll with a wide angle lens (15mm f2.8). I fiddled with them it a bit, increased the exposure and sorted out the purple and greens to give you these; definitely a work in process, but thanks for the kind comments. “Wow” […]

Mountaineering monkeys and shy Sika

December 10, 2016

Well not exactly monkeys but sure footed Lundy goats, who seem to defy the normal laws of gravity.

August 20, 2016

Maytime Magic

May 28, 2016

With all the Puffin-tastic excitement of my previous post (Puffins & Bluebells) I almost forgot these set of pix of our encounter with the Sika deer herd on Lundy. Amazing the think that all the photos taken in these two blog posts were taken in just four short hours on the Island. Maytime on Lundy […]

Birds and Bluebells on Puffin Island

May 18, 2016

Regular readers of this weblog, (oh I hate that word, it’s not even woody sounding…..) Right, start again, and from this point onwards, this ‘photo and musings diary’ will be referred to as a wetlog – because it’s is more like a saturated piece of driftwood than something that was made up by an adolescent […]
