Chun Quoit

I live in Cornwall not only am I blessed with some of the best beaches in the world but we also have a some stunning historical sites. This gives me a vast amount of photographic opertunites this image is of a Stone Age Monument Chun Quoit this is one of many such sites in my local area every time you visit such places you come back with different images.

The changable conditions in weather in my local area make every shoot different and keep my interest in photography high knowing every time i go out with my camera i will come back with very individual images.

The Blue Gym

The Blue Gym is a project that we are involved with at University it is a project that prescribes outdoor activities rather than medicine. Its a great project and we've been asked to make images to be used to promote the whole project finishing with a big exhibation in April show casing the the images we produced this is an example of one of the images i've produced as an advert. Fishing is the biggest water sport in the world and more people go fishing than play football so it seemed the right place to start when it came to producing images.

Windsurfing Wipeouts

Marazion

Jan Sleigh at marazion today bringing the old school back with a cheese roll. This was another day of what could of been plenty of swell and wind but just didn't pull together to make a classic day of windsurfing.

Local wildlife

It still amazes me the wildlife you can find so close to my home in Penzance

This is becoming a winter to remember

This is fast becoming the best start to the winter season i can remember another session today at marazion with Steve King the standout of the day. Sometimes windsurfing just looks an easy sport to take part in but as you can see from the last photo when things go wrong they really go wrong.

BWA hits Cornwall

The BWA Mormaii hit Cornwall this wknd and come sunday Marazion produced the goods with some massive ramps to be hit and a few nice waves to be riden. John Skye won the day but the whole comp went off well with the first rounds being held in Gwithian earlier that week. All in all it was a great event and i can't wait till next year it's nice to have windsurfing compention back in Cornwall.

Autumn colour

Autumn is here and the trees are changing colour here are just a couple of photos ive taken this year showing off the colours of Autumn.

I recently spent two days working with the CN4C charity and the Eden project helping out on a couple of play days in Bodmin. The 1st day we built a raft and rope swings in the woods and on the second day we had a story telling day on the moore where the children had to work there way through a course of challenges making sure they didn't wake the giant of the cheese stone.

1st of the winter storms

The first of the winter wind arrived but the waves weren't really up to the job. These shoots were taken at Marazion of local rippers "Lee Harvey" on the kite and "Andy King" on the windsurfer these two riders seem to stand out in there chosen sports no matter what the conditions are like

Kite surfing

With winter coming soon i for one am hoping for a storm filled season and the chance to get some new pics from a couple of new breaks that we've been checking out this summer. In this pic "Lee Harvey" making the most of some summer breeze.

A few pics of birds from a walk with the dog today
