The iconic lighthouse on the South coast of England. This was taken in the middle of a bright, sunny day which made the lighting very harsh....so I decided to process in black & white, only bringing out the red of the lighthouse.
Comet Neowise with some faint Noctilucent clouds beneath and Windsor Castle on the horizon. I knew the comet would be visible and worked out where some good spots would be to see it over the castle, this was very late in the evening and the noctilucent clouds were an added bonus!
Taken in the hour before sunrise as the mist rolls up the river past Windsor Castle. I knew the shot I wanted to get and waited until the conditions were just right - a clear, cold night before so frost would form on the river bank and there was a good chance of some mist appearing on the river. On a clear morning, a long exposure can capture the colours in the sky before dawn - something we don't often get the chance to witness.
Hidden away in a secluded valley, the warmth of sunlight filters down through the canopy. This waterfall in Wales took a little bit of effort to find, even though I know roughly where it was - some steep climbs and a scramble down the bank were well worth the effort!
Early morning mist on the river by the Temple. This temple marks the start of the Henley Regatta - located on a small island in a calm & tranquil part of the river Thames, early morning mist often forms here after a cold night. I set off early along the Thames Path and was there in time before the mist began to dissipate.
A long exposure of St Monans Pier, calming the seas & sky. I was there early in the morning, when the tide would be high and covering the surrounding rocks, so that I could take this shot. The sea was choppy at the time, spray splashing over the pier, but a long exposure allows time to calm the waters and the movement of the clouds was just what I was aiming for.
The Sun creeps over the brow of the hill to threaten the misty landscape below. Spoiler alert - the Sun ultimately wins! I'd walked past this spot along the Thames Path many times and knew there would be a good shot of these trees at the right time of day. One early morning I found the right time as there was still some mist on the ground beneath the trees but blue skies behind the clouds and the orange glow of the Sun coming over the horizon.
The perfect bench to sit at in Elie and view the lighthouse and setting sun. I waited patiently for a while before taking this shot - just to allow the Sun to start dipping behind the cloud so that I could get some sun flare and see the rays of light bursting out from it.
An almost empty Bude beach in Cornwall on a windy day. This was the middle of the day but not many were brave enough to challenge the bitterly cold wind blowing in - a few surfers at the far end were in their element though!
Harvest Moon over Windsor Castle
The Full Moon creeps into view beside the Round Tower of Windsor Castle. I'd worked out in advance where to be and at what time to get this shot of the Full Moon rising, but even so, I was there a bit early and worrying I'd got the timing/position a bit out...nervous minutes before the Moon crept into view and I knew I'd got it right.
Looking out to sea over Tintgel in the late afternoon sunlight. The golden light reflecting off the sea looked spectacular - sometimes an hour or two before the Sun sets can look better than the sunset itself!
The motion of the Earth shown in the sky above. Almost 3 hours of exposure taken with multiple shots, all stacked together to make one image which shows the rotation of the stars relative to the Earth in the night sky.
The Full Moon bursting with light over Stag Meadows in Windsor. I'll often go out after dark on a clear night to look upwards - longer exposures enable us to better see the stars above, even from light polluted areas. Pleiades can be seen above and slightly to the right of the Moon.
Fading stars as the Sun approaches the horizon at Marsh Lock in Henley on Thames. This is a familiar place to me, so I knew that if it was a clear, still morning I'd be able to take this shot. I made my way here early one morning, just before the sun rose and the stars were beginning to fade in the night sky and the scene unfolded in front of me.
Comet Neowise rising over the Windsor Castle in the early hours of the morning. This was taken from the Long Walk at around 1am - I was hopeful that the clouds that were on the horizon earlier would clear enough for me to get the shot and thankfully they did. This is two stacked images, one with a really long exposure for the foreground and another, shorter exposure for the sky (I limited the sky's exposure to avoid any star trails).
Looking South over the English Channel as the sun heads down in the West - a Cresent Moon sits high in the sky. A little lower and over to the right, Venus begins to faintly appear.
The 'Dragon' of Rhossili bay in Wales, resting as the sun sets.
A long exposure before the sun rises, making the sea appear as a blanket of fog.
Dramatic orange sunset silhouetting the landscape of the African bush.
The early morning sun paints the African bush with an orange glow as it breaks over the horizon to mark the start of another day on Safari.
Some terrific skies above Windsor Castle as the town begins to wake and the swans on the river start moving around.
Golden sunrise over the castle
As a thick blanket of fog lifts, the sun breaks through sending golden rays through the tress and over the river Thames by Windsor Castle.
A wind farm of the South coast of England is lit by golden sunlight breaking through the clouds.
Early morning in Saint Monans and the sun blasts out from between the clouds, basking the coast in warm, golden light.
A very early morning view along the River Thames towards Windsor Castle, around 45 mins to an hour before sunrise.
