Up early for sunrise over the Marshwood Vale on the south western edge of Dorset to witness the rising mist over the surrounding levels. The first day of September and it true feels as though summer has been and gone…

After a slightly draining weekend of a brilliant wedding (pictures on the way) and dashing around the country, I once again got up at an insane hour (pre-4am) but this time in search in something other than a landscape lit by the early morning light. Instead I was heading into the centre of Bristol to the pre-event/curtain raiser event for the International Bristol Balloon Fiesta 2010. Just a small selection of hot air balloons (only 10) had arrived to fly from the relatively small area of College Green, against the back-drop of Bristol Cathedral, but it was great to be able to get up close and see them all preparing their gear and inflate the immense canopies ready for lift-off. Around 100 to a possible 150(!) balloons are expected to rise into the air in the mass launches taking place later in the week and guess who’s going to be there…

A last minute decision to head out in search of a sunset lead me to this location on the West Somerset coast. I managed to find myself an original take on an oft-photographed subject but had to settle for soft light in the absence of the hoped-for colourful sunset. Moments after this was made the wind carved ripples were torn apart by an inattentive dog owner’s “he’s-just-being-friendly” mutt come over to investigate the curious person lying on the sand with a box that clicks…which subsequently got a showering of sand. Thank you.

Sometimes you get lucky, other times not so lucky. I took a trip out to the West Devon coast with a few other like-minded photographers with the prospect a nice sunset and a dramatic coastline to shoot around…we got it half right. The coastline was spectacular but the sunset just didn’t happen, there’s always next time.
In other news the website re-design is almost complete and will be rolling out – with a bit of luck in the not too distant future – so keep your eyes peeled for that one when it comes.

On an early June day, and perhaps the nicest day of the year so far, a small gathering of friends and family attended Sarah and Rob’s wedding on the border between Wales and England in Monmouthshire. It turned out to be a fantastically relaxed occasion and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Another superb wedding for another wonderful couple! The full set of images may be found here.

Just watching where I tread as I wandered along the beach during the sunset hour to find this little arrangement. I thought it looks a bit like an octopus grappling with it’s prey…
Sunset across the rocks at Porth Nanven, Cornwall, looking out across Sennen Cove to Land’s End and the Long Ships, Meinek, Carn Bras and Tal-y-Maen in the distance.
