Morning! Hope you've had a great weekend and thanks for voting in the #Sundayvote - the winner by was number 1 with the rainbow.... Here in Devon it's rained every day of 2026 so far, so it might not surprise you to hear there won't be any photos this week 😔 Have a great week despite the rain!

Morning! Happy Sunday! I hope you enjoyed my week of photos from a beautiful West Bay sunset. I'd love to know which was your fave in the #Sundayvote - 1,2,3 or 4? [1 is the rainbow, 2 the retreating storm, 3 the sunset & 4 the last colour in the sky]

Morning :-) We finish our week of photos from a beautiful West Bay sunset with the final shot I took, as the sun dipped below the horizonm the colours of sunset started to fade, and the light started to change to the blue tones of dusk... #WestBayDorset

Morning :-) So, my week of shots from a fabulous Sunday evening West Bay sunset continues as the sun starts to set and lights up the retreating storm clouds with beautiful pink and orange hues. Well worth the drive through the rain! #WestBay

Morning! Today's shot from a fabulous Sunday sunset at West Bay last weekend is this shot from the breakwater as the storm clouds started to move away, revealing some amazing cloud structure (after 29 years working at the Met Office, I still love a good cloud! 🤣) #westbaydorset

Morning from soggy Devon! It’s been raining for weeks, so I’ve barely been out shooting. On Sunday I spotted a break in the forecast, dashed to West Bay and waited. As the storm moved off, the sun broke through, lighting the golden cliffs with a rainbow – the first of the images I’ll share this wk.

Morning! Hope you've had a great weekend? It was a close vote in the #SundayVote, but in the end number 1 won by a nose..... Have a great week :-)

Morning! Happy Sunday! I hope you enjoyed my week of photos from a cold and windy Paignton Pier. I'd love to know which was your fave in the #Sundayvote - 1,2,3 or 4? [1 is the tall image of streaking clouds, 2 is the end of the pier, 3 is the square shot of streaking clouds & 4 is the pier at dusk]

Finally, just before I got back in the car to try and warm up after 2 hours stood around in the cold, this is a shot of the pier at dusk, lit up against the cold winter sky..... #Paignton

Morning! Next on my week of photos of a cold windy winter's day at Paignton Pier is another long exposures of those amazing clouds streaking over the pier....

Next on my week of photos from a cold winter's day at Paignton Pier - a rather minimal 30 second exposure looking along the beach to the end of the pier as the light of the day started to fade... #Paignton

Morning! This week we're visiting Paignton Pier in my week of photos - a set from a cold, windy winter afternoon just before sunset. I enjoyed playing with long exposures of the fast moving clouds, although the feeling is only just coming back into my fingers 😂 #Paignton

Morning! Hope everyone's had a good weekend? There was a clear winner this week in the #SundayVote - the snowy lane at sunrise.... Have a great week :-)

Morning! Happy Sunday! I hope you enjoyed my set of snowy photos. Would love to know which was your fave in the #Sundayvote - 1,2,3 or 4? [1 is thge Meldon drone shot, 2 is the Meldon reflection, 3 is Pricetown Church and 4 is the snowy road]

Finally for this week, another snowy shot from last winter - with a beautiful treeline road covered in snow as the first light of the sun started to light up the scene....

Morning! I only managed to take a couple of snowy shots during the last very localised snow event, so today is one from last winter! A beautiful winter scene at Princetown Church as the sun sets on a snowy winter's day....

Morning. Next on a week of snowy photos is a simple camera shot of the snowy banks of the reservoir reflected in the still water just before sunrise... #dartmoor

Morning! Devon didn’t see much snow this time, but Dartmoor got some. I was heading to a job in North Devon and couldn’t resist a quick stop at Meldon Reservoir for sunrise. Grabbed a few shots with the drone — all above board, taken legally from outside the open access area where drones are banned

Morning! Your #SundayVote winner last week was the image of the Brixham tidal bell. Glad you liked it! Have a great week :-)

Morning! Happy Sunday! I hope you enjoyed my set of photos from Brixham last week. Would love to know which was your fave in the #Sundayvote - 1,2,3 or 4? [1 is the shot of the fish market, 2 Brixham town, 3 is the minimalist tidal bell, and 4 the tidal bell with rocks)

Finally this week, a similar shot to yesterday's, this time looking towards the fish market, with the Christmas 'Brixham' sign lit up against the fading light. Again this is a long exposure frame for the water and sky merged with a shorter shutter speed shot to freeze the boats. #brixham

On my pre‑Christmas trip to Brixham I moved from the tidal bell to the harbour at high tide, waiting for blue hour so the town and Christmas lights popped. I shot a 30‑second exposure for blurred clouds and water, then a short one for crisp boats, and blended them in Photoshop. #brixhamharbour

Morning! Another shot of the tidal bell from my pre-Christmas visit to Brixham - this time it's a stack of 4 x 30 second exposures so as to completely flatten the sea and blur the cloud motion. I've also included some rocks in the foreground and to one side for interest. #Brixham

Good morning and Happy New Year! I made it out with the camera a few times over Christmas, and I’ll be sharing those images over the next few weeks. First up is a pre‑Christmas trip to Brixham and a minimalist 30‑second long exposure of the tidal bell.... #Brixham

Morning! And the winner is....... Number 1! Have a great Christmas - see you on the other side! 🎅 🎄 🎁 ✨

Morning! Happy Sunday :-) Hope you enjoyed my week of photos from Cheddar Gorge? If so, please vote for your favourite in this week's #Sundayvote (1,2,3,4 clockwise from top left). I think mine was definitely number 2 (the top down shot of Horseshoe Bend). How about you?

Morning! Finally on my week of drone shots from Cheddar Gorge, is a night time shot looking along the gorge, with Cheddar in the distance, and the lights of cars passing along the road...

Morning! Next on my set of drone shots from Cheddar Gorge, is a top down shot of part of the Horseshoe bend at night, with the lights of passing cars lighting up the gorge....

Morning :-) Next on my set of drone shots from Cheddar Gorge (and probably my favourite of the week) is this top down shot of the iconic Horseshoe bend. I rather like this one - hope you do too!

Morning! This week's photos are a set of drone photos from a recent sunset at the iconic Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. First is a shot of a winter sunset looking down the gorge towards the town of Cheddar....

Morning! Finally on my week of photos from dusk at Exeter Quay is another bue hour reflection shot - this time looking down river from the Quay towards Topsham Brewery. It's my favourite photo of the week - I hope you agree!

Morning! Next in my week of dusk shots from Exeter Quay is this classic view of the bridge over the Exe, reflected in the river. It combines two of my favourite things: blue hour light and reflections. Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed shooting it!

Morning! Next in my week of dusk shots from Exeter Quay is a blue hour view from the south bank. Spotted this bench and used it as foreground for a fresh take on a familiar scene. 30s exposure, edited in Adobe Lightroom and Luminar Neo.

Hi! I’ve decided to start posting here on Bluesky again from time to time. Back out with the camera after a couple of weeks of rain and life getting in the way. A dusk visit to Exeter Quay gave me this long exposure of the overflow channel in flood – usually you can walk across it but not this week!

Hi! I hope you're well and are had a good summer. Just a quick post to say that I will soon be back on social media a little (but sadly not Bluesky). There's a link to a blog explaining where you can find me, in the comments on this post. Here's a recent photo just for attention...

Hi. I've decided to take the summer off from social media, and largely from landscape photography too (although my training, commercial photography, and weekly blogs will be business as usual, of course!) If you're interested, you can read the reasons why in my latest blog (link in comments)

Morning! Finally on our visit to a foggy morning on the Exeter Canal, a rower emerges from the mist next to the old lock-keepers cottage.... #exeter

Morning! We continue our week of photos from a foggy spring morning with some boats on the River Exe backlit by the rising sun.... #exeter

Morning! We continue our week of photos from a foggy spring morning on the Exeter Canal with a bit of black and white of the boats emerging through the mist... #Exeter
