Portrait landscapes

November 18, 2011

or in this case, seascapes. The pulled back line-up photo has been an industry standard since the beginning of surf photography, usually taken with a short telephoto (100mm – 200mm) but more recently with a long tom (400mm – 800mm), this has allowed enterprising fotohogs to combine the pulled-back shot with some insanely hot surfing […]

Croyde Session

November 7, 2011

The new issue of Carve is out and I have been lucky enough to have a few shots published in the issue (thanks uncle Roge). Amazingly they are all from the same session, a nice three foot day at Croyde in September, which is quite unusual (for me). There are a myriad of reasons why […]

Into the Winter

November 3, 2011

The evenings are getting darker and darker, literally and not as a consequence of all the ridiculous moustaches starting to sprout everywhere! The water is slowly getting colder and the surf is becoming bigger and meatier (is that a word?). Here’s a few pictures of wild and woolly local beach in all it’s pre winter […]

Super Lynmouth Series

November 1, 2011

Reubyn Ash smashed his way to victory in the inaugural Relentless Lynmouth Super Series today with a mixture of old school grunt and new school cool. He combo’d Russell who sat on a 9.17 and a 8.60 in the final at Blacklands, which was perfect 3-4 foot, running and glassy, with a double alley-oop 9.77 […]

In My Opinion

September 23, 2011

Getting amped for the UKProTour event at Lynmouth this autumn and cant wait to see Britain’s best surfers hacking into one of Britain’s best waves. The event will be run in one day and the UKPST has allotted three wildcards from the 32 man draw to the local surf clubs; Croyde, Woolacombe and Westward Ho! […]

Choppers boat, sunsets and doggies

August 5, 2011

One of the pleasures of living on the coast is that you can go fishing when the surf is flat. How some people can say that they dont like fish is beyond me, they are cute, cuddly and taste great. Normally I fish off the rocks, which usually combines a nice evening stroll and […]

Softly softly, vulgar Holga, portraits

August 5, 2011

An impromptu fishing trip with the boys was an excuse to shoot some portraits with ‘the plastic one’ as the Holga lens is now known and I am quite liking the 1950’s feel to the shots, (probably coz it’s when most of the subject matter was born!). Attached to the 1D mk2 this time giving […]

First impressions of little Holga

July 22, 2011

Having spent a small fortune on acquiring fast aperture, L glass for my Canon cameras it was a bit of a surprise to me when I impulsively bought a crappy little plastic lens with a tiny f8 hole. Maybe it’s a mid life crisis, (what another one? – surely not) or just a desperate attempt […]

Night Surf and Shite Hawks

July 12, 2011

Now that the dust has settled from the Nightsurf event and I’ve managed to get a couple of goods nights recovery sleep under my belt, I must admit to still feeling quite euphoric. Which is quite unusual for me. It’s contest like no other and without being too much of a corporate arse licker, I […]

Ilfracombe Pilot Gig Regatta

June 27, 2011

Bloody good effort by all concerned, difficult conditions for all the teams, choppy and misty but wow the home made cake stall was epic (so that’s how you replace all those calories…… (All photos copyright ESTPIX Mostly on Canon 1D mk 2 attached to a 600mm f4 If you click on the image it will […]
