  • When

    When the tide comes in
    We will sail right out of here.
    When that tide comes in.

    The image was taken at Porlock Weir in Devon. I had gone hoping for some long exposure seascapes, but failed to check the tide times. But then I saw these yachts all lined up on the mud, and I couldn’t resist.


  • Storm

    Waves – crash all you can.
    I am the storm, shrieked the wind,
    Mine is the power.

    It has been a week or so since I posted, as I have been away on a short break to the Devon coast. As storm Amy was coming to an end, we made an evening visit to Hartland Quay. The waves were amazing, and even though I am quite pleased with this image, I still don’t feel it does justice to the anger in the sea.


  • Stuck in the mud

    When the tide runs low
    And there’s nowhere else to go,
    I’ll stick in the mud.

    Porlock Weir in Devon is a really interesting place to visit, and for long exposure photography when the tide is right. As you can guess from this image, I have yet to visit when the tide is right.
