Last night's moonrise over Brighstone and Windy Corner. It was fab being out amongst the sounds of nature 😁 #isleofwight #photography

Tranquility at Bembridge Lifeboat Station. #Photography #IsleofWight

Full moon last night, taken just after it rose over Whitecroft #moon #photography #isleofwight

Carisbrooke Castle overlooking a field of poppies. Not a bad view on our Sunday stroll today! #LandscapePhotography #IsleofWight #CarisbrookeCastle #Poppies

It's Round the Island Race today and the weather has been rubbish for photography. A very brief shaft of light lit up Tennyson Down and a few yachts! #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

Sunset and low tide, at Bembridge Lifeboat Station yesterday #landscapephotography #isleofwight

Fireworks over Sandown Bay this evening. These were postponed from New year's Eve, the weather was kinder tonight! #IsleofWight #photography

A moonlit Needles taken during the full moon from a couple of weeks ago. The moonlight was so strong that it highlighted the textures in the chalk cliffs. #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

The crescent moon looked incredible last night. Earthshine gave the appearance of the moon being full. It was too dark to capture the Needles in the distance, but it was fun to be out. #IsleofWight #Moon #Photography

Appley Tower in Ryde. Springtime sunshine and daffodils are shifting the winter gloom!

Yarmouth Pier in the early Spring sunshine. It was a little tricky photographing it when it was devoid of people 😅 #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

I've just got my copy of @availablelightp.bsky.social's new book, collecting some of his amazing photos of the beautiful @visitisleofwight.bsky.social over the years. Highly recommended! Steve's work is always stunning.

The lunar eclipse over Tennyson Down early this morning. #LunarEclipse #IsleofWight #Photography

Big skies and a glorious sunset over West Wight. #AvailableLight #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

Low tide at Freshwater Bay. #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

The Moon and Venus twinkling in the sky over Freshwater Bay yesterday evening. #IsleofWight #FreshwaterBay #LandscapePhotography #NightSky

Despite the rain today Spring was definitely in the air at Compton Bay on Monday afternoon 😌

We've just launched our first ever coffee table style book! The response to it has blown us away! We were very nervous about taking the plunge and producing a book but we're thrilled at how it has turned out 😊 #LandscapePhotography #IsleofWight

Sunset at St Catherine's Lighthouse taken a couple of days ago. The most southerly point of the Island and a wonderful place for photography. #IsleofWight #Photography

This shot was taken a couple of hours prior to the Needles shot I posted yesterday. It was much calmer at Sandown, the sea was still choppy but the reflections of Culver Down were fun to photograph. #IsleofWight #SandownBay #LandscapePhotography

Yet another visit to the Needles yesterday to photograph the stormy conditions. A few other locations were snapped too, it was perfect landscape photography weather! #IsleofWight #TheNeedles

Sunset yesterday was off the scale! The sky was on fire at Alum Bay. #IsleofWight #TheNeedles #Sunset #Photography

Sunset at the Needles yesterday. It was flat calm, but a breeze ruined the reflections! #IsleofWight #Photography

Sunset at Compton Bay yesterday. It was a cold, but beautiful one! #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

Trustee, Kim Purton, celebrates the artistic achievements at Quay Arts Centre and anticipates what's to come in 2025 #iwnews #IsleofWight @quayarts.bsky.social

Starry, starry night. Taken a couple of evenings ago, before the murky weather set in. #IsleofWight #photography

The crescent moon setting over the Needles last night. It appears full due to Earthshine. The light on the water is reflections from Venus, which is out of shot. #IsleofWight #Astrophotography #LandscapePhotography #TheNeedles

A wander in the woods this afternoon. Taken in a very foggy Brighstone Forest #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

It's a rainy, rather than snowy morning here on the Isle of Wight, but it's the Winter Solstice! Bring on the lighter days! This is Shanklin Old Village photographed on the rare occasion that we get a dusting of snow.

☀️ Blue skies meet Bluesky! 🌊 Hello Bluesky! 👋 We’re the UK’s official Sunshine Island! From golden beaches to scenic skies, we’re here to keep your feed as sunny as our shores. 🌟 So, who else is soaking up these blue skies on here? 🌞 #VisitIsleOfWight #SunshineIsland

Yesterday's sunset at the Needles. We returned after the previous attempt gave a fiery, angry looking sky. This was a little more gentle, still not ideal but that's the fun of landscape photography! #IsleofWight #Photography

Taken a couple of hours ago at the Needles. It was freezing down on Alum Bay in the biting wind. #Photography #IsleofWight

Stag Rock at Freshwater being pounded by the sea during a storm a couple of years ago. Taken from inside our van, using a telephoto lens. We were much further away than it looks! #IsleofWight #StormySeas

This image was taken at Castlehaven on the south coast of the Island. It's entitled Incoming Storm, which seems appropriate for the current weather forecast here!

Compton Bay, looking rather peaceful in the late afternoon light. #IsleofWight #Compton #LandscapePhotography

We don't often get a decent covering of snow here so we have to make the most of it when we do! This view is looking towards Tennyson Down with the crescent moon so bright that it appears to be full. #IsleofWight #FreshwaterBay #LandscapePhotography #Sunset

This was taken a couple of years ago when we were treated to some wonderful views of Comet Neowise. The dark skies here are perfect for astro photography. Out on this shoot the comet was clearly visible to the naked eye, not just the camera. #AstroPhotography #StandingStoneSunday #IsleofWight

Sunset at Ventnor from earlier this week. After we'd had a wander along the cliff top (see earlier post) we hung around as the sky was showing some potential for colour. It didn't disappoint.

Newport Minster, taken from the doorstep of our shop yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon at Ventnor. We went for a wander before sunset and the light was both wintery, yet beautiful. #IsleofWight #Ventnor #LandscapePhotography

Sunset wasn't too bad this evening 😊 #Ventnor #Sunset #IsleofWight

A misty day in Brighstone Forest. It's beautiful in there at any time, but when the fog rolls in it has an ethereal and magical feel to it. #IsleofWight #Brighstone #Photography #AvailableLight #Autumn

A frosty morning at the Causeway in Afton. This is near Freshwater Bay on the Isle of Wight. Blimey was it cold on that particular morning! #IsleofWight #Afton #LandscapePhotography #FrostyDawn

A view down Ryde Pier, a gateway to the Island. This image is a few years old and the pier has recently been renovated with a new pedestrianised walkway. #AvailableLight #Ryde #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

Taken from Players beach near Ryde. Portsmouth is only a few miles across the Solent, but it often feels like another world from the Island! #IsleofWight #Portsmouth #Solent #LandscapePhotography

Freshwater Bay being pounded by some powerful waves. The light on this day was perfect for photography as it was so dramatic. A telephoto lens was used enabling us to keep at a safe distance from the sea. #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography #FreshwaterBay

St Catherine's Lighthouse under the Milky Way. We have great opportunities for night photography here, particularly the southern side of the Island where there is little light pollution. This is one of our favourite locations #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography #AvailableLight #AstroPhotography

A misty morning over Newchurch and out to sea. The delicate colours were so pretty and the mist breathtaking. Sometimes it's difficult to remember to take a photo when the view is this spectacular! #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography #AvailableLight

We've been on Bluesky for over a year, but I've neglected our account until now, it will be fun sharing old favourites like this one. This was taken at the end of a grey and rainy day in Chale. There was a gap on the horizon as the sun set. For all of 30 seconds the colour was spectacular.
