Devon and Cornwall based fine art landscape and seascape photographer. Black and White images of the beautiful, often dramatic, West Country.

On a high point in mid Devon I was lucky enough th On a high point in mid Devon I was lucky enough the other day to capture this image of a swan neck solar eclipse: an extremely rare event thought to be due to hyperfocussed streaming of subatomic particles in the earth's outer atmosphere. This phenomenon caused considerable concern in prehistoric tribes, particularly amongst those who were given the responsibility of caring for villages' flocks of poultry, as they interpreted it as reflecting the displeasure of Cygnipotens, the god responsible for caring for these birds.

In @Porthleven on an overcast day I spotted an eld In @Porthleven on an overcast day I spotted an elderly gentleman sitting on the sea wall and was rather amused to see the gull standing close by. I walked past and realised my mistake. I don't suppose I was the first to be taken in by this very lifelike pair of statues. Fortune favours the prepared photographer, and my image captured a halo of gulls around the gent's head #fineartseascape

The rock slabs at Bull Point are known as the Mort The rock slabs at Bull Point are known as the Morte Slates. During the collision of continental plates 300 million years ago these sedimentary rocks were compressed and tilted vertically, and over time the weaker elements in them were eroded by the sea. #artisticphotography #photopoem #monochrome #monochromatic #monotone #monoart #blancetnoir #biancoenero #pictorialism

In truly lovely summer weather the walk to the lighthouse at Bull Point was idyllic. The area has some of the very best coastal scenery in Devon. This was the view across the bay from Morte Point at the start of the walk. Leaving Bull point I came across a snake sunbathing on the footpath. It kindly moved aside to let me past. #fineartseascape #seascapephotography #coastalphotography #landscapephotography #ig_landscape #majestic_earth #earthfocus #westcountry #cornwallcoast #devoncoast #visitcornwall #visitdevon earthexperience #fineartphotography#visualart

Or does it? Global warming has led to considerable erosion, and closure of the section of the SW Coast Path at the top of the cliffs.

Walking North along the SW Coast path from Bude th Walking North along the SW Coast path from Bude the morning fog combined with an Atlantic gale blowing salt spray off the sea made for challenging photography. Even with 8 stops of camera body and lens stabilisation a fast shutter speed was required as well as bracing against a rock to keep the camera steady. With sea fogs, gales and a dearth of safe anchorages this area of coast is notorious for shipwrecks, including the German naval converted trawler Leipzig of Bremen lost in 1944 here at Northcott Mouth. #fineartphotography #westcountry #cornwall #photography #devon #landscapephotography #seascapephotography #blackandwhitephotography #nature #monochromephotography #outdoors #countryside #naturalworld #lovenature #capturingmood #lifesabeach #dartmoor #exmoor #wilderness #naturelovers #explore #naturephotography #BnWphotography #beautifulscenery #blackandwhite #bw #bnw #bnwphotography #bnwphoto #artphotography
