Lost in the woods… well not lost. More unsure of if I was on a trail that led anywhere…

Selkie, Cornwall.

To live in Cornwall is to live alongside so much nature and wildlife, that sometimes it’s all to easy to forget how much is just waiting on your doorstep.

I’m all about atmosphere. I like to shoot an image, and really get in there to express a certain vibe.
Do the edits go too far? Maybe.

After the snowstorm, two years ago. I wasn’t out to take photos, but I had a camera in my backpack — just in case. Then suddenly, the clouds dropped below me, the sky cleared, and a single lenticular cloud drifted above Mont Blanc.

Pale horse. A stroll on Dartmoor usually provides either a memorable interaction with local wildlife, or something dramatic. Sometimes both!

Sometimes it’s really lovely to get back to wildlife photography, and really you can’t get more wild than shooting the wonderful stripes of a Amur Tiger. Regal, and he knows it.

Light.

This one’s a little overcooked, but I’m kind of liking it…

A Cardinal sitting on a limb in the snow and patiently awaiting its turn at the feeder. My daughter asked if I took a cardinal in the snow pic every time it snowed. I mean... duh. :)

Godrevy. Cornwall. One of my favourite places in Cornwall, I try to make a trip down here at least once a year, and never have I failed to come away without a dramatic composition.

Sparrow clinging to a twig capped with a seed pod, against a soft blurry backdrop. The sparrow is gray & has a black crown w/ white central stripe; its tail feathers are backlit & slightly fanned.

White-crowned Sparrow, in my area only from late autumn to spring.

Aside from very briefly in November, winter hasn’t really claimed Cornwall. I have a certain fondness for those crisp, frosty days, the snap in the air and crunch under foot.

These water lilies were enjoying life in a canal at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge on a foggy morning. This image was made with a full spectrum camera and a 720nm filter. Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop. #photography #landscapephotraphy #infrared #infraredphotography #720nm

A little winter sun from December of last year. Not that there’s much sun around today…

Back in the December of 2018 heavy winds ravaged Cornwall causing chaos over the county. Falmouth was heavily hit, gales so strong literally tearing a container ship from its moorings and washing it upon a nearby beach.

A bison forages in a meadow. Mist fills the background, obscuring a group of trees as sunlight diffuses through the low-hanging vapor.

Bodmin moor, Cornwall UK. Cornwall is a strange place, full of beautiful landscape, and drama.
