Godrevy is a stunning location at any time of the year or day. But when Storm Agnes popped by I thought high tide and low light what more could you ask for. On a single trip it was possible to capture 6 images that were portfolio worthy. Which is a very rare thing. Big waves and a fantastic back drops means photography life becomes a lot easier.

A Trip to Dartmoor
During a recent workshop a few friends and I took the opportunity to explore different areas and capture the local scenery in this national park. Dartmoor is. special place and for this trip I took two cameras. The Fuji infrared converted camera and my trusty Sony A7R3. As conditions were mainly bright the Fuji came out on top with a different perspective being discovered on Dartmoor through the medium of Infrared.
Read MoreThe first mist of the Autumn at Idless in Cornwall UK near Truro
The first mist has eventually arrived and I was luckily enough to capture it at Idless near Truro in early September. The separation caused by the mist gives the woodland another worldly look and inspires you to keep capturing image after image. This few hours inspired me to capture around seven images that were worthy of keeping in my portfolio. Great images are always about weather, light and processing, with two of these the processing element is quick and easy. Lets hope a new few days of mists arrives quickly so I will have the opportunity to explore another local woodland in this majestic atmosphere.

Bluebells Bluebells Bluebells at Enys Gardens
Enys Gardens Enys is situated a few miles to the East of Penryn in Cornwall. The beautiful gardens are a genuine joy and the bluebells during spring are an eye to behold. The building have been left to rack and ruin but are slowy awakening from their slumber. The Bluebell festival in May is a joy and I was lucky enough to look around last Tuesday in the pouring rain. While this may have put some people off this was an opportunity to get the lovely misty shots I craved whilst also having the gardens to myself.
Read MoreVisit to Clevedon
After a life time in Bristol I finally got the chance to shoot Clevedon Pier. It’s not somewhere I have every considered photographing due to the brown waters of the River Severn and low muddy tides. But when evening draws in and you have a chance of a sunset then the location radically changes into a magical landscape location. You can tell this by the queue of photographers on the beach trying to get that elusive shot. After 55 years of not trying I will certainly be back as I have had so many requests for prints of the images taken on that evening.
Hofstadir Church
Beautiful Iceland
What an amazing photography trip to the very beautiful Iceland. If you are a photographer this is a must go location. Half the size of the UK with a population under 500,000 you always feel like you are in the wilderness. Everywhere you go has stunning scenery and each location is radically different from the last. It is cold, while we there it was -19 so you must be well prepared. Travelling in a group is also a good idea as you can share driving and it feels a bit safer if you have problems. We stayed in Akureyri which was a good base to travel around the north of the country. So if in doubt, don’t worry buy a ticket and get out there you may even see the northern lights!
Infrared Photography
I have been shooting Infrared images for some time with a filter, but recently I had a simple camera converted, the Canon Rebel 1200D. It’s already produced some great results and gives me the opportunity to shoot more images outside of sunrise and sunset. Strong sunlight and midday blue skies make it possible to shoot stunning images. This image was taken at the lizard in Cornwall using a panoramic technic. The Grass looks like snow and blue skies come out black. A technique that’s well worth trying either with a Infrared filter or with a converted camera.

This month I won the Cornwall today monthly photographic competition. The photo selected was of Holywell bay in Cornwall England UK. A simple black and white shot of the beach's two islands and a simple piece of seaweed. Simplicity at its best proving that complexity in photography is not always required.
