Exit this way

Exit this way

This morning we escaped the rain – by heading underground! We climbed down to investigate some potential pictures in this cave system on the north spanish coast.  We gathered some good ideas but the trip was cut short as both our head torches started to fade. They must have got accidentally switched on in the rucksack overnight. […]

Weather predictions

Time to ditch the App?  Today we expected the worst but the reality was very different. A rainy afternoon inside or a spot of sunbathing at the beach?

Sunrise reflection in metallic

- May 23, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

I left John on the beach, cursing to himself – in particular he was all hot and bothered about a band of thick low cloud that had just arrived as the sun was rising. I headed back up to the van where we had camped to make breakfast. The sunrise looked pretty good from where […]

Rockpools

- May 21, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

Tread carefully – there’s another world beneath our feet. The evening light was poor but we were mesmerised for hours by these network of rockpools. There were hundreds of sea anemones, star fish, sea urchins, fish, crabs and even a shy octopus.

All change

- May 19, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

We try to arrive on location a few hours before official sunset. It’s a time to relax and plan the shots. But more often than not, this calm preparation ends up being interrupted by last minute frantic changes – hurriedly clambering over rocks, swapping lenses, re-adjusting the tripod. As the light quickly changes, so does […]

Gannets amongst the grey clouds

- May 16, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

We sheltered in a cave from the rain, a bit fed up with the weather, sunset looked like being another ‘grey one’. Perhaps the 5am wake-ups were taking their toll. A few moments later, as I’m setting up the picture, Be turns towards me – “Look at all the gannets out to sea, there’s loads […]

Treasured possessions

- May 14, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

Belinda is famously possessive of her binoculars. Even though I bought them as a surprise christmas present, I’m rarely permitted to use them. If I take them without consent, I’ll be guaranteed to receive a stern look. However, I remember last year as we watched an otter swimming in the river close by, she passed […]

On the edge

- May 12, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

I said “You’re not thinking about going up there, are you?”. John “No, I’m just going to look over the other side, I will be back in a minute”. A few moments later I turned around to see this. That dot on the cliff top is him. I should have known.

Time waits…

- May 9, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

In many ways life has become a lot more simple. We now concentrate on two things. Preparation and hope. We prepare for the hour slot at the beginning and end of the day. We hope this time brings something special to capture. But lately it’s been all or nothing. Thick dark clouds with no colour […]

Ultimate new gadget

- May 7, 2014 By John & Be Leave a Comment

The DJI Phantom 2 Quadcopter with Zenmuse H3-3D 3 Axis Gimbal. It sounds mighty impressive doesn’t it? Well, it does to me. In the 10 days leading up to our departure from southern England the phrase ‘dji phantom 2’ was typed into Google many, many times. Having seen some footage online (click here), we thought […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY

Photo of the Day - Otter, Beauly Firth, Inverness-shire. Strong winds hampered our day but we still managed great views of an otter... though he made us work hard.  The wind created continuous wave … [Read More...]
