Weekly Photo Challenge: Ooh, Shiny!

via Photo Challenge: Ooh, Shiny! I’m certain this isn’t an unusual response to this challenge, but I can’t pass up a good sunset. This was taken in Guernsey one summer; a small island with many places for beautiful coastal sunsets! Shot on DSLR with an 18-105mm kit lens. Processed in Lightroom and Luminar. 26mm |Continue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Ooh, Shiny!”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Resilient

via Photo Challenge: Resilient It’s new year’s eve and it feels highly appropriate to post a picture of a sunset. We were thrown a few curveballs in 2016; additionally as I write I’m trying to forget the virus that has been plaguing me for the last week and a half. I’m mindful that in spite of things of this nature,Continue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Resilient”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Time

This week’s challenge is Time. Okay, so this isn’t the first photo of Brighton’s West Pier that I have posted! I’m always drawn to it for some reason. I took this about five years ago. You can just make out (hopefully) a starling murmuration above the pier. Murmurations usually begin in autumn and continue through winter. TheyContinue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Time”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Victory

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Victory.” Bit of a loose interpretation – but when the weather gives you a break and provides a nicely exhilarating sunset, take the small victories wherever you can! Last weekend in Brighton. Shot with Fuji X100T, Classic Chrome film simulation. Further minor tweaks in Lightroom.

Taken on DLSR withContinue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Afloat”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Symmetry.” Dug into the archives for this one. A pier on a beautiful lake at sunset! I don’t often shoot with symmetry in mind, but I remember I *really* wanted to find a pier at sunset and take a shot like this. Taken at Coniston WaterContinue reading “Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry”

Tintagel sunset, Cornwall

This was taken on a recent holiday to Cornwall. We headed out to Tintagel via Boscastle, and arrived just as Tintagel Castle was closing (no matter, as we had gone with the intention of watching sunset). We were still able to clamber up to some ruins for a good vantage point. Although it had beenContinue reading “Tintagel sunset, Cornwall”
