along the South West Coastal path to White Nothe or wherever looked a good point to photograph the sunrise, but the sky looked too clear to the East for a descent shot. Weymouth and Portland were covered in low cloud that was beginning to clear so I decided to set up on the hillside near the South Down car park at the top of Ringstead, in the hope that the rising sun would paint the landscape with it's lovely Autumn golden light. I wasn't disapointed. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/pom-pom-rock-on-portland https://images.on-this.website/21891_71583503852cdd03868e6c.jpgPom Pom Rock on Portland Bill, Dorset. February 2012 - I was just packing up to go home for breakfast, but could see the sun starting to break through the cloud cover and show it's face for the first time this morning. I quickly managed to set everything up again in time to catch the rays lighting the sea on the horizon, before disappearing again. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/weymouthdebenhams https://images.on-this.website/21891_6124684874f902d792c386.jpgDebenhams complex Tryptic A study of the Debenham's area of Weymouth's town centre development.

This is one of my favourite views in Dorset. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/puddwoods-mg41394041tonemapped https://images.on-this.website/21891_19979213944fe98f6560859.jpgThorncombe Woods, Puddletown, Dorset Autumn is the best time for the woods particularly when there is still enough green leaves left on the trees to complement the brown/orange leaves that have fallen. If you can catch the right time of day for the sun's rays to break through the tree cover, then everything glows with vibrant colours, particularly the moss covering the trees. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/liquid-energy https://images.on-this.website/21891_14293581214ff4b0766df8c.jpgLiquid Energy This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact". I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. The Bananas were actually hanging downwards and water was thrown at them using a small plastic cup and various exposures captured using strobe lighting. A selection of the best shaped splashes were then composited together in Photoshop. The hand shaped splash seems to be supporting the bananas, which influenced my decision to rotate the image on its side and create an almost gravity free feeling. I'm also a fan of the film 'The Abyss' and the CGI water effects used.

I particularly liked the ship in the bay far right. I kept my exposure time to 10 seconds which is long enough to create light trails, but short enough to prevent them burning out and looking ugly. I had to take the ISO up to 1600 but thats not a problem these days. These pictures are always best not long after sunset when the sky is still blue.. don't wait until it's black as that will just result in no detail in the sky and lots of noise/pixelation. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/chesilbeachmg1029 https://images.on-this.website/21891_21369466474f95246eafd4a.jpgChesil Beach Sunset March 2012 - A stormy day that looked like it may clear towards sunset, so I took a chance and made my way down to Chesil Beach. As I was setting up the cloud cover started to clear and and I waited for the sun to start to disapear below the horizon. This not only prevented lens flare but and also illuminated the cloud cover above me, in a way all photographers dream of. I also wanted the light levels to drop low enough to use my chosen aperture/shutter speed combination to capture the energy in the breaking waves. Fast enough to capture the shape of the waves, yet blur the motion slightly to capture its motion... a fine balance. In the distance you can still make out local fisherman setting up for the night and hopefully a good evenings catch. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/lonely-as-a-cloud-dorchester https://images.on-this.website/21891_71101225527bf3edc4d26.jpgLonely as a Cloud - Dorchester, Dorset May 2013 - Out for a walk on my birthday and this cloud decided to join me. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/view-towards-winterborne-came-dorchester https://images.on-this.website/21891_1720323327516da234874f4.jpgView towards Winterborne Came, Dorchester - April 2013 Taken on a mornings dog walk across the fields, using the sweep panorama mode of my little Sony RX100 'walkabout' camera. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/fruitstrawberryglass https://images.on-this.website/21891_11663485684f902d04d907c.jpgStrawberry Glass Studio shot of cream pouring over strawberries.

Landscape Photographers dream of these moments and it's been around 5 years for me to capture the ruins peering through the mist, but the weather predictions looked good and worth ignoring other planned locations and making the 40 minute drive. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/view-from-bats-head-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_161164093254976a43bdd2e.jpgView from Bats Head, Dorset December 2014 - This was the morning after the so called 'Weather Bomb' or what used to be called simply a 'very windy day'. The tide was higher than predicted due to the prevailing wind driving the waves into Durdle Door bay, which made it impossible to get down onto the beach for my proposed sunrise shoot. Also the cloud cover was thick and the sunrise became a non event, so I decided to trek across the coastline towards Bats Head and scout some new locations for possible shoots another day. On my way back the weather started to improve and this shot was taken close to the top of Bats Head as the storm clouds started clear. It's a dramatic part of the jurassic coastline anyway, but the storm clouds add to the mood of the rugged scenery, and Durdle Door adds a familiar focal point and sense of scale. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/90-water-square-version https://images.on-this.website/21891_13369650095439311fc5a00.jpg90% Water (Square Version) This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact". I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. A thick slice of cucumber was dropped into a glass tank filled with only 2 cms of water. The cucumber creates a hole in the water and if your lucky this wave pattern before it slides off in random directions depending on the angle it hits the water. Only 2 shots out of 50 had this wave effect so not easy to create. Cucumber is over 90% water, hence the title.

This shot was on the Pottery Pier located on the far side of the Island as the sun was setting. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/durdle-door-december-sunrise https://images.on-this.website/21891_117668451652f555a409231.jpgDurdle Door December Sunrise December 2013 - A fairly calm day for Durdle Door beach compared to recent rain and storms, but the waves were still breaking nicely for me. I love how they smooth the shingle out into a perfectly flat surface allowing the sea to run easily inwards without effort until it hits my feet and I occasionally get wet. No one around this morning to leave foot prints and spoil the view. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/brownseaislandmg2015 https://images.on-this.website/21891_15440209634fbad209c8bdc.jpgBrownsea Island Storm The evening was lovely and sunny, but the weather had been changeable, and as I was walking through the woods I could see the sky darkening and a storm moving across. I could see a small beach ahead so made a run for the steps and onto the beach, and couldn't believe my luck when I saw the old tree face down in the sand, displaying its weathered roots like a peacock. I quickly setup as the storm moved across Poole Harbour making a lovely scene more dramatic, then packed away quickly before the heavens opened. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/kimmeridge-bay-storm-passing-over https://images.on-this.website/21891_207075099549725b22bf6b.jpgKimmeridge Bay, Storm passing over December 2014 - High winds and heavy rain had made it difficult and too dangerous for a proposed sunrise shoot at Hobarrow bay with fellow photographers, but the rain later stopped and the sun came out. Unfortunately the rain started again whilst at Hobarrow and the winds were too high, so we made our way back before the incoming tide cut off our access back. As the rain stopped I managed to capture this image as the storm clouds passed over and some golden rays of the early morning sun broke through. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo18039936.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_18390686805198ec8e8d9ea.jpgBluebell Woods, Dorset May 2013 - Early evening in the woods and the sun starts to cast nice shadows across the bluebells as it gets lower in the sky. The trees in these woods had been planted evenly apart which gives a nice composition and avenues of trees to lead you into the picture. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/golden-hour-from-wears-hill https://images.on-this.website/21891_61324676852927f32c5852.jpgGolden Hour from Wears Hill, Abbotsbury, Dorset.

Tide was close to high tide and I've tried to capture the power of the sea around this part of the Dorset coast on a fairly calm day for Portland. There was little wind this morning so didn't have the usual problems with sea spray coating filters. Heavy cloud cover meant little colour from the sunrise, a few tones started to reflect onto the clouds as the sun started to break through later. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo14713237.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_9686609454f99d36027b2d.jpgCorfe Castle on a Misty Morning As I turned up at dawn there were a few more photographers starting to make there way up the east side of Corfe to the place where I would normally shoot these iconic ruins from. I made the decision to be different from the others and go to the west hill in the hope that when the sun rose and broke through the mist it would bathe the castle in golden light right in front of me. Unfortunately things jus turned grey and flat, so decided to shoot in black & white to capture some of the ethereal atmosphere of this great location. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/oil-in-water-square-version https://images.on-this.website/21891_12709608945439313166376.jpgOil in Water (Square Version) Shot in the studio under Daylight continuos lighting.

I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. A cocktail cherry was dropped into a Babycham style of glass I found in a charity shop. This created a nice splash and a nice mess to clean up between each set of shots until I achieved the effect I was looking for.

I'd planned to go to Corfe Castle but my van had other plans and caused a delay, but always have a plan B in mind. The River Frome in Wareham was already looking promising and the mists would increase as the sun started to rise so I setup there and waited. This image is pre-sunrise and the tones are more subtle than the the later images taken this morning. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo25643969.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_466016986560059dea96f6.jpgRiver Frome Sunrise, Wareham, Dorset (Square Format) September 2015 - The weather the day before plus the forecast for the sunrise hours looked perfect for a misty morning. I'd planned to go to Corfe Castle but my van had other plans and caused a delay, but always have a plan B in mind. The River Frome in Wareham was already looking promising and the mists would increase as the sun started to rise so I setup there and waited. Pre-sunrise was nice and then the mist thickened, but I'd been in this situation before and waited a bit longer for the warming sun to burn off some of the mist. The mist acts as a big diffuser and spreads the golden light of the sun across the scene creating a lovely warm glow. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/hobarrow-bay-sunset-kimmeridge-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_47309590355f57d1379eff.jpgHobarrow Bay Sunset, Kimmeridge, Dorset September 2015 - The tides were low even at the highest predicted tide for the evening, so it was safe to venture around Broad Bench to the east of Kimmeridge Bay without being cut-off. The sunset wasn't great but it was worth waiting around for the afterburn into blue hour for the additional colour mixed with the bluish tones. Kimmeridge is the gift to photographers that just keeps giving and still lots to explore in this area. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo25827950.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_6940888955617e971e68e9.jpgCastle in the Mist 2 (Square), Corfe Castle, Dorset October 2015 - I wasn't alone on Saturday in capturing the magical 'misticle' event that took place at Corfe Castle as other head-torches could be seen dug in ready for what we all hoped would happen.

They're at their best after fresh rainfall which we had a few hours ago, so I rushed up to the local woods before sunset. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/brownsea-island-west-lake https://images.on-this.website/21891_10436339724fbba46caa6f0.jpgBrownsea Island - West Lake Another shot from my evening out on Brownsea Island. West lake is towards the middle of the island and has some interesting old trees growing around it's banks. The light was bright that evening and I'd normally wait until the sun was lower, but this time of year the banks of the lake would have been in shade. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo22678661.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_14137654015439317019d1c.jpgWater Music Water droplets were carefully added to the DVD's surface which was placed on a black background. DVD's have a dark blue surface and react better when painted with light to reveal the full spectrum of colours when light hits the surface at different angles. In total darkness the DVD's surface was illuminated by a small LED torch and painted in segments, during 4 30 second exposures which were combined in camera to produce the final image.

I had 5 minutes before my lens was full of flare due to the bright sunlight this time of year.

Sunset wasn't spectacular but cast a nice glow across the rocks and I would have liked more movement in the water, but virtually flat calm... I'll hope for that another day and settle for this peaceful scene. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/pulpit-rock-sunrise-portland-september https://images.on-this.website/21891_18941303995074b95b90525.jpgEarly Morning at Pulpit Rock, Portland September 2012 - Just after sunrise on Pulpit Rock on a nice fresh autumn morning with a high tide and plenty of waves rolling in... perfect. I always try to keep my shutter speed long enough to capture motion in the waves, but fast enough to prevent smoothing and the misty look that some people like, but not to my taste. The sea is a powerful living thing and I try to capture that in my seascapes, the same way an artist paints motion in the waves in an oil painting. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/corfcastlemg1180 https://images.on-this.website/21891_18558427984f99d340ba523.jpgCorfe Castle on a Misty Morning As I turned up at dawn there were a few more photographers starting to make there way up the east side of Corfe to the place where I would normally shoot these iconic ruins from. I made the decision to be different from the others and go to the west hill in the hope that when the sun rose and broke through the mist it would bathe the castle in golden light right in front of me. Unfortunately things jus turned grey and flat, so decided to shoot in black & white to capture some of the ethereal atmosphere of this great location. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo22678664.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_199625397854393185df93b.jpgPuzzled? This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact". I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. The puzzle here is which way up is the Rubik's Cube? The Cube is actually underwater and shot from low down as the surface of the water acts like a mirror. Water is then dropped into the tank to create the splash effects, and when the image is rotated 180° it gives the appearance of the cube jumping out of the water.

I grew up in Weymouth and often used to fish from the Stone Pier in the Summer months with my mates. I never caught much, but I think the sitting and waiting in the hope I may catch something, prepared me well for Landscape Photography. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/early-morning-at-lake-bohinj https://images.on-this.website/21891_12267505334fa426dd105fe.jpgSlovenia - Early Morning at Lake Bohinj 3 Bohinj, Slovenia - August 2010 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/knowlton-church-golden-hour-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_3147252425713dc627b2c4.jpgKnowlton Church Golden Hour, Dorset April 2016 - This was the last burst of Golden Hour before the sun set 15 minutes later. A very large cloud had slowly moved in front of the sun earlier and it was touch and go whether it would move out of the way in time for the ‘magic hour’ …luckily it decided to play nicely. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/waterdroplet2 https://images.on-this.website/21891_12161730844f902d480eac0.jpgWater Droplet 2 The classic coronet effect created when a water droplet hits a pool of water.

Luckily the sun helped me out this morning and rose between the pier posts casting golden rays across the water as the tied started to come in. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/view-from-bowleaze-towards-weymouth https://images.on-this.website/21891_12811830174fe993c1b3012.jpgIncoming tide during Sunset at Bowleaze View from Bowleaze towards Weymouth Bay at Sunset. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/red-hot-chilli-pepper https://images.on-this.website/21891_9451726314ff4b1ccc5ea8.jpgRed Hot Chilli Pepper This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact".

A six minute exposure was needed to record tones in the rock and a separate exposure was taken to record the moon and merged together in photoshop. The fisherman on top have movement blur due to the long exposure, but remained seated most of the time chatting and waiting for a bite and were illuminated by their head torches which was ideal. They did catch some fish so well worth the climb, but not sure I'd fancy the climb down in total darkness. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/stormy-waters-at-seacombe-cliff https://images.on-this.website/21891_187191201752f003ef63707.jpgStormy Waters at Seacombe Cliff , Dorset February 2014 - I arrived the day before to check out this amazing part of the coastline and was met with 40 mph gusting winds and occasional rain showers, but constant sea spray making it difficult to work in. I decided to return for sunrise in the hope of less stormy conditions. The wind was less but the waves were more intense and a higher tide meant that the rocky ledges down below were not safe, as occasionally a bank of waves would break right over the ledges up to the cliff walls and easy to get caught out. I watched from a sheltered location above but still had to work against the spray. I could feel the awesome power of the waves hitting the cliff face and ledges below me, and an exilarating experience. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/red-hot-chilli-pepper-square https://images.on-this.website/21891_72061252854393136ba561.jpgRed Hot Chilli Pepper (Square Version) This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact".

Not much colour before sunrise but the early morning sun cast a nice light over the chalk rock faces as it started to appear from below the horizon to the right of me. With all the coastal erotion recently I wonder how much longer Old Harry will survive, but hopefully for many years to come. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/portland-bill-storm-dorset-november https://images.on-this.website/21891_950120365527c0781e2b26.jpgPortland Bill Storm, Dorset November 2013, Second Wind - I managed to get over to Portland for round 2 of the storms this week, but not as bad as the previous 80 mph winds, but still gusting around 30-40 mph. The tide was high and the waves were crashing straight in from the west and Pulpit Rock was practically unreachable against the wind and the bucket loads of sea spray. I decided to lay low behind rocks on the South side of the coastline to give me and my camera some shelter from the spray, but still a spectacular display of natures power. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/kingston-mauward-summer https://images.on-this.website/21891_52344446055958a2b4d222.jpgKingston Maurward Summer May 2015 - We used to spend many afternoons at Kingston Maurward with the kids when they were young, visiting the animals and walking around the grounds. I like the Autumn colours here when the trees start to to turn various shades of gold and copper, but Spring and early Summer are nice for the flowers. We now have days here with my eldest daughter and her son, so the circle of life has continued for us at this lovely location and we are getting to enjoy it all over again. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/war-of-the-roses https://images.on-this.website/21891_9140260734ff319094c541.jpgWar of the Roses This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact". I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. My family and I are from Yorkshire and moved to Dorset when I was 2. The only rose most Yorkshiremen will wear is white and certainly not red which gave me the idea for this symbolic image. The history of the white rose for Yorkshire and red rose for Lancashire, is tarnished with blood from the 15th Century wars between the house of York and Lancaster, but all good now, and we're all just Northerners together living down South.. apart from the Cricket field!!!

I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. A cocktail cherry was dropped into a Babycham style of glass I found in a charity shop. This created a nice splash and a nice mess to clean up between each set of shots until I achieved the effect I was looking for.

I’ve looked at the view from the surrounding cliffs over ‘Bacon Hole’ towards Mupe for a while now, usually on my way home from a morning shoot in the bay itself, but decided to give it the attention it deserved this morning. A nice bit of cloud cover at dawn created an explosion of colour as the sun approached the horizon hidden by the surrounding hills and well worth the 4:15 am alarm call. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/january-sunset-on-bats-head https://images.on-this.website/21891_177305928654bed004489fc.jpgJanuary Sunset on Bats Head, Dorset January 2015 - It's quite a trek from Durdle Door along the coast to Bats Head, not far in distance, but probably some of the steepest climbs along the coastal path to get there. It's worth the effort though to watch the sun setting behind Portland, and this shot was taken 20 minutes after sunset. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/misty-sunrise-across-durdle-door https://images.on-this.website/21891_14390803644f952b300f2e0.jpgMisty Sunrise across Durdle Door Bay March 2012 - A strong sea mist had drifted in by the time I reached Durdle Door, and a few photographers were heading back home telling me "there's nothing to see but mist today". I then sprinted to the beach to get set up in time for the sun going down, as the potential for something special happening in the mist was too much to ignore. The scene in these conditions could almost be from the other side of the world rather than Dorset. This was the first frame I fired after quickly setting up and the next frames had lost the beautiful glow of the sun as it seemed to be quickly extinguished by the bank of mist closing in. The rocks in the bay all have names, starting with 'The Bull' in the foreground, then 'The Blind Cow', 'The Cow' and finally 'The Calf'. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/man-039o-war-bay-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_1666490401512012232c7f1.jpgMan 'O War Bay, Dorset December 2012 - A very windy stormy morning, but luckily the rain from earlier was holding off. The erosion on this part of the coast is getting bad and I'm stood on all that's left of the ledge I normally stand on to capture this view. My camera and tripod are weighted down with my bag to stop them blowing over the edge in the high winds. After taking this picture I moved back to safety and as I let go of my camera briefly to open my bag camera bag a gust of wind blew my tripod and camera over and face down into the muddy bank. Luckily the only damage was a Lee ND filter but £80 all the same... the hazards of Landscape photography and how dangerous the coastline is at the moment in this awful weather. Be careful out there!!! https://www.mydigitaleye.net/sunrise-on-dancing-ledge-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_33392658450a2d6ab5f1a0.jpgSunrise on Dancing Ledge, Dorset November 2012 - My first visit to this beautiful location and worth the trek across the fields. At certain stages of the tide when the waves wash over the horizontal surface, the surface undulations cause the water to bob about making the ledge appear to dance, hence its name. The tide was on its way out but still rolling over the ledge and into the pool blasted out of the Purbeck rock near the beginning of the 20th century for use by local schools. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/durdle-door-winter-sunrise https://images.on-this.website/21891_14930272752cf3c0475f12.jpgDurdle Door Winter Sunrise, Dorset. December 2013 - There had been too much low level cloud for a decent sunrise picture from the beach so I decided to stay on the high ground. As the sun started to rise above the horizon into the cloud cover it's rays started to burst out into the open sky and created the strange effect you can see in this image. I also didn't fancy the mud slide down to the beach after the recent heavy rain fall and sad to see how much of this part of the coastline is being eroded. The Moonrise had been late at 4 am in the morning and is still visible top right. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/door-to-the-heavens-durdle https://images.on-this.website/21891_1292193421567d2dc818169.jpg"Door to the Heavens" Durdle Door, Dorset December 2015 - I didn’t want the usual starburst normally seen for the December sun rising through the door, and opted for something different. The storm clouds didn’t clear anyway until the sun was too high and I had to keep low to see the sun poke its head above the clearing cloud bank. When it did I was rewarded with a burst of light shining across the beach for a couple of minutes before disappearing again behind the clouds, followed by rain for the rest of the day. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/maiden-castle-golden-hour-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_78254408852f02d1e0a122.jpgMaiden Castle Golden Hour, Dorset January 2014 - I love Maiden Castle but I'm still trying to find the best view, as so many. Only an arial view can capture its amazing structure and the scale of this iron age hill fort, so I try to capture small sections of the surrounding views. I never feel alone up there in the early hours or late at night as so much history surrounds the old settlement which dates back to 600 BC. The sunrise was nothing special but then the beautiful golden light of the early sun started to warm the landscape and everything started to glow. In the distance you can see the flooded fields from the heavy rainfall this month which has caused the Winterbourne river to burst its banks. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/bournemouthpiermg9207 https://images.on-this.website/21891_2983078774f902d1a74315.jpgBournemouth Pier Ghosts Bournemouth Pier at dusk and people starting to leave the pier before closing time.

It's one of the few places I can guarantee will be people free at Easter. The tide was low but just starting to turn and I ended up wiith wet feet towards the end of the shoot. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/corfe-castle-st-georges-day https://images.on-this.website/21891_289956181571e6e89713db.jpgCorfe Castle, St Georges Day Sunrise, Dorset April 2016 - A 3:30 am wake up for me to get to Corfe for Dawn, which wasn’t bad, but not as great as I was hoping for. The overnight cloud cover started to clear a bit too early for my liking, but still a beautiful morning to be out on the hillside overlooking one of Dorset’s best known locations. The sun rising to the left and almost behind the castle in April leaves the ruins almost silhouetted against the morning sky and its possible to capture a sunburst through the window, but this has been done recently and I don't like to copy. I decided to move down the hillside as the sun rose higher in the sky and waited for it to poke it’s head above the hillside for a burst of golden light, before flare would cause too many problems. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/brownseaislandmg2048 https://images.on-this.website/21891_19762152054fbad29c68a6c.jpgPottery Pier, Brownsea Island at Sunset May 2012 - Another image from my evening out on Brownsea Island. This was taken near Pottery Pier after the sun had set showing the after glow of the sun below the horizon. It's always worth waiting at least half an hour after the sun has disappeared below the horizon as sometimes that's when the magic starts to happen. The long exposures needed in the low light also allow for plenty of cloud movement and smoothing of water to add further interest to the picture. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/view-from-south-down-across https://images.on-this.website/21891_745632449529bb4a2f0421.jpgView from South Down across Ringstead Bay, Dorset December 2013 - I'd planned to hike along the South West Coastal path to White Nothe or wherever looked a good point to photograph the sunrise, but the sky looked too clear to the East for a descent shot. Weymouth and Portland were covered in low cloud that was beginning to clear so I decided to set up on the hillside near the South Down car park at the top of Ringstead, in the hope that the rising sun would paint the landscape with it's lovely Autumn golden light. I wasn't disapointed. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/dawn-at-portland-bill-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_177007136570183249a61b.jpgDawn at Portland Bill, Dorset February 2016 - A calm start to the day after recent storms and a lovely bit of colour to the dawn sky. I love this large rock pool down on one of the beaches near the huts and not sure if its natural or man made by quarry workers. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/liquid-crystal https://images.on-this.website/21891_14464589624ff4b07b98eb7.jpgLiquid Crystal This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact". I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. The crystal slice is from my daughter's collection as she loves gem stones. This was placed on a sheet of 5mm white acrylic and backlit to create a lightbox effect. Additional lighting was added to light the crystal slice from the top to show detail in the stone edges. Blue food colouring was added to match the colour of the crystal using a pipette so I could control the placement of the liquid and create an interesting shape. The abstract composition of this image was influenced by a recent visit to Salvador Dali and Picasso exhibitions whilst on holiday in Brugge.

The rocks are covered with a white weed at the moment, as even the high tides fail to cover the rocks. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/spring-sunrise-over-bacon-hole https://images.on-this.website/21891_7130261757040c0ce4644.jpgSpring Sunrise over Bacon Hole (Mupe Bay), Dorset April 2016 - It’s a bit of a trek across the Lulworth ranges to get to Mupe Bay, but always has the wow factor when you arrive. I’ve looked at the view from the surrounding cliffs over ‘Bacon Hole’ towards Mupe for a while now, usually on my way home from a morning shoot in the bay itself, but decided to give it the attention it deserved this morning. The cloud cover from dawn had started to clear and I waited for the sun to pop its head above the surrounding hillside and illuminate the scene with golden rays of early morning light. My 4:15 am start to the day had been rewarded. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/bowleeze-cove-sunrise-weymouth-october https://images.on-this.website/21891_1326736434507454bf99ea5.jpgBowleeze Cove Sunrise, Weymouth October 2012 - I've been asked by a few people now if I have any images of Bowleeze Cove in Weymouth and have to be honest I haven't much, so this weekend I decided to fix that. This was taken to the left of the jetty at the Riviera hotel end of the cove, where the small stream flows down into the sea for some added interest. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo25643971.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_138338786560059e0aec68.jpgRiver Frome Sunrise, Wareham, Dorset September 2015 - The weather the day before plus the forecast for the sunrise hours looked perfect for a misty morning. I'd planned to go to Corfe Castle but my van had other plans and caused a delay, but always have a plan B in mind. The River Frome in Wareham was already looking promising and the mists would increase as the sun started to rise so I setup there and waited. Pre-sunrise was nice and then the mist thickened, but I'd been in this situation before and waited a bit longer for the warming sun to burn off some of the mist. The mist acts as a big diffuser and spreads the golden light of the sun across the scene creating a lovely warm glow. I also created a Square Format image for those that prefer. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/brownseaislandmg1996 https://images.on-this.website/21891_18436084874fbba44ee533f.jpgBrownsea Island - West Lake Another shot from my evening out on Brownsea Island. West lake is towards the middle of the island and has some interesting old trees growing around it's banks. The light was bright that evening and I'd normally wait until the sun was lower, but this time of year the banks of the lake would have been in shade. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/thorncombe-woods-in-spring-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_6612191757439aa9cbb65.jpgThorncombe Woods in Spring, Dorset May 2016 - Thorncombe Woods, Puddletown has now exploded with colour after the recent changeable weather and the canopy is now thick with lush green leaves. The moss on the trees is also vibrant green and this image was taken after the heavy rainfall on Saturday whilst everything was still damp which helped to bring out the browns in the woodland paths. I decided to wait until mid morning so there was plenty of light from above to backlight the canopy. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/apratildeumls-surf https://images.on-this.website/21891_3844861424ff4b05fece28.jpgAprès Surf This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact". I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. This was the last in my set of 10 shots. I planned it that way so I could drink the beer after all the hard work creating this set of images. The bottle was placed into a large fish tank containing enough water to cover the base of the bottle just below the label. A clean shot of the bottles label was taken first to use as a base image and then the wave was created and various shots taken. Water was then thrown at the bottle and images captured using strobe lighting and the best images composited together in Photoshop.

Face East if the winds are blowing strong from the West and lie low behind the rocks helps. Also important to use a long lens to keep yourself out of danger ... if you go in then it will be others that have to put their lives at risk trying to save you, and no picture is worth it. I think this is what has become known as a fairly calm day on Portland over the past few weeks compared to the extreme weather the islanders have had to endure.

I don’t often shoot in the middle of the day but if it’s blue skies and fluffy white clouds then its game on. The spring light bounces across the hillsides as the clouds move in front of the sun creating shadows over the landscape and surrounding sea. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/naturalstructures4 https://images.on-this.website/21891_7048869184f9672f66b399.jpgNatural Structures Tryptic 4 Fourth Tryptic in a series of four, studying the structures created by nature.

The tide was too high for the classic view from the causeway which was hidden under water, so chose this location. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/weymouthfirestation https://images.on-this.website/21891_97051794f902da705360.jpgWeymouth Fire Station Tryptic 2 A study of Weymouth's new fire station.

The tide was coming in fast forcing me to side step away from each wave as far as I could with camera release in hand, but eventually I did get my boots wet. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/dawn-on-the-stone-pier https://images.on-this.website/21891_189788016657040c189ec35.jpgDawn on The Stone Pier Weymouth, Dorset March 2016 - Growing up in Weymouth I spent many a day in the summer holidays with my mates fishing off this pier. I’d planned on a different location in Weymouth this morning and the pier was plan B. Plan A at Newtons Cove didn’t look good so I ran round to the pier to catch the Dawn light before sunrise. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/the-fleet-weymouth-april-2013 https://images.on-this.website/21891_99147340516c8d8099eee.jpgThe Fleet, Weymouth, Dorset April 2013 - A very grey day as normal at the moment, but decided to have a look around an area of Weymouth I haven't visited for many years. Using the 'Big Stopper' added more interest and movement to the sky and smoothed out the water. The mist around Portland was actually created by the fine spray from the waves crashing into the chesil bank as the winds had been high recently. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/kimmeridge-bay-september-sunset https://images.on-this.website/21891_1212237906543943f8d7de3.jpgKimmeridge Bay September Sunset September 2014 - Freedom at last after my intensive work towards my RPS Associateship distinction and now back to my beloved Seascapes. What a great afternoon/evening I had at Kimmeridge with ultra low tides and a sky to die for. Here's a shot as the sun started to go down and the bluish evening light started to take hold. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/brownsea-island-storm https://images.on-this.website/21891_13765337704fbad26ce5a43.jpgBrownsea Island Storm May 2012 - The evening was lovely and sunny, but the weather had been changeable, and as I was walking through the woods I could see the sky darkening and a storm moving across. I could see a small beach ahead so made a run for the steps and onto the beach, and couldn't believe my luck when I saw the old tree face down in the sand, displaying its weathered roots like a peacock. I quickly setup as the storm moved across Poole Harbour making a lovely scene more dramatic, then packed away quickly before the heavens opened. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/bubbles-in-oil-and-water https://images.on-this.website/21891_1745720752529343341d3ae.jpgOil and Water Shot in the studio under Daylight continuos lighting.

The moon was still up and shining bright in the sky nearly an hour before sunrise, so I decided to face towards the Pinnacles which are a smaller group of rocks, but just as interesting, and keep the moon in frame. I did think about doing a separate exposure for the moon and blending it in afterwards in Photoshop, but l like the starburst effect as the light illuminates Old Nick's Ground across the cliff tops .. just love these old Dorset names :) The Swanage street lights are still on in the distance. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo25877006.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_472264208561d5608d34ff.jpgStair Hole & Lulworth Cove, Dorset October 2015 - At first light it looked like the low misty cloud bank to the left would move across the scene and block out the rising sun, but it seemed to just hang over the hillside waiting. I think it may have just been as blown away as I was at the quick burst of colour created as the sun popped out from the clouds, casting its warm rays across the cove and beyond. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/splashproof-square-version https://images.on-this.website/21891_63423470654393168070e5.jpgSplashproof (Square Version) This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact". I wanted to show that the addition of liquid to every day still life objects can be made more interesting and have greater visual impact if liquid is added. I created a rain effect in the studio to create atmosphere and also emphasise that the watch is waterproof .... at least it still worked afterwards.

I've been waiting for the right conditions as needed a blue sky with white fluffy clouds and wind. I needed the clouds to cast shadows across the fields on a sunny day and create pockets of light, and the wind blowing through the rape seed. I used a neutral density filter to allow me to shoot with a 0.3 second shutter speed to show movement in the rape seed. Any slower and the rape seed would have shown as a complete blur and not the effect I was looking for. A week later and most of the yellow flowers had gone and the rape seed pods have taken over as the crop ripens. It will probably be another 3 years before the rape seed returns to these fields and probably back to barley, so I had to get the shot this weekend. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/thorncombe-woods-golden-hour-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_12681368615c019c3cddfaf.jpgThorncombe Woods Golden Hour, Dorset November 2018 - The Autumn colours are always best after a day of heavy rain and during the start of Golden Hour the colours glow even more. Most of the leaves are down now but there is still some greenery to catch the suns rays as it starts to get low in the sky towards sunset and breaks through the canopy. A magical time of day to be in the woods. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/april-sunset-at-pulpit-rock https://images.on-this.website/21891_22437639555450cc801f53.jpgApril Sunset at Pulpit Rock, Dorset April 2015 - The evening had been cloudy but as the sun set below the horizon the clouds lit up with its fiery glow. The extreme low tides recently has left some of the weed on the rocks constantly exposed to the sun, which turns it white and looks like a dusting of castor sugar. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/portland-bill-winter-sunrise-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_152696511656fc2fb76560a.jpgPortland Bill Winter Sunrise, Dorset January 2016 - Due to resting a back injury over the Christmas period caused by my day job, this was my first outing for the New Year. The weather didn’t look good and high winds and seaspray made life difficult, but the clouds cleared for a short period around sunrise and the sky caught fire, before turning a flat grey again. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/a-stormy-start-to-the https://images.on-this.website/21891_85105039456fc2fb9df98a.jpgA Stormy Start to the Day at Portland Bill, Dorset February 2016 - Sunrise was a non event but the winds picked up along with the waves and the scene quickly changed to a dramatic scene common to Portland. The notorious ‘Portland race’ can be seen in the distance as the different streams off this part of the coastline meet. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/portland-harbour-nightscape-november-2012 https://images.on-this.website/21891_937199393509affec5688a.jpgPortland Harbour Nightscape October 2012 - The Olympic legacy can be seen in this area of Portland with the marina and refurbished accomodation block. It's good to see ships using the harbour again and brings back memories of when this was a thriving naval port, although I think I prefer the colours of the Stenna Line ships to the battle ship grey that used to line the harbour docks. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/a-splash-of-pepper-square https://images.on-this.website/21891_20727043475439317ca907b.jpgA Splash of Pepper (Square version) This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact".

The cloud cover started to clear and reflect the warm tones of the sun rising and visibility was clear enough to see St. Aldhelm's Head in the distance. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/a-splash-of-pepper https://images.on-this.website/21891_516586974ff318eea35e4.jpgA Splash of Pepper This is an image from a recent set of studio images I created for a still life theme of "Still life + liquid = Impact".

October 2014 - What better way to spend a lazy Autumn Sunday afternoon than sat on the hillside surrounding Corfe Castle. I'm used to early mornings up here but have always wanted to try and capture a steam train crossing the old viaduct as it leaves the station during the day. Luckily there was a steam fair this particular weekend so a train appeared every 20 minutes or so and the weather and light were kind …. perfect. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/maiden-castle-fog-3-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_763737432512819c9a1c56.jpgMaiden Castle Fog #3, Dorset The last image from this foggy morning. By now the bright winter sun was trying to break through the mists still hanging around from the cold frosty start to the day. This image was mainly monochromatic straight from camera but I've desaturated to leave just a hint of colour to add to the atmosphere. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo24108066.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_8219516035545037f198c8.jpgLow Tide at Portland Bill Lighthouse, Dorset April 2015 - A very low tide this week meant that the area in front of the lighthouse was completely free of water and easily accessible. The sun was setting over at Pulpit Rock and started to light up the sky with its fiery glow. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/naturalstructures1 https://images.on-this.website/21891_731022564f9672c4ec312.jpgNatural Structures Tryptic 1 First Tryptic in a series of four, studying the structures created by nature.

One girl asked me if I'd caught anything?, so obviously couldn't see straight, which matched the way she was walking. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/mupe-bay-spring-sunrise-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_25650195557040c116af76.jpgMupe Bay Spring Sunrise, Dorset April 2016 - It’s a bit of a trek across the Lulworth ranges to get to Mupe Bay, but always has the wow factor when you arrive. I’ve looked at the view from the surrounding cliffs over ‘Bacon Hole’ towards Mupe for a while now, usually on my way home from a morning shoot in the bay itself, but decided to give it the attention it deserved this morning. The cloud cover from dawn had started to clear and I waited for the sun to pop its head above the surrounding hillside and illuminate the scene with golden rays of early morning light. My 4:15 am start to the day had been rewarded. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/portland-bill-dorset-april-2011 https://images.on-this.website/21891_9717186654f8223a715ff4.jpgEarly Morning at Portland Bill Portland Bill, Dorset - April 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo14778334.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_9279731544fa4270528d03.jpgEarly Morning at Lake Bohinj Bohinj, Slovenia - August 2010 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/sloveniamg3394bohinj https://images.on-this.website/21891_7837688564fa4270c9fa4e.jpgMountain Scene, Lake Bohinj, Slovenia Bohinj, Slovenia - August 2010 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo26303047.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_1965887374566b45f240211.jpgLaguna di Piano, Italy Sunrise at the lake. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/lake-bled-panorama https://images.on-this.website/21891_3859143474fa426f265c06.jpgLake Bled, Slovenia - Panorama 4 Image stitch of Lake Bled. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/arnemg7368final https://images.on-this.website/21891_20170649934f952c441a3d0.jpgWytch Heath, near Arne Wytch Heath near Arne, Dorset https://www.mydigitaleye.net/laguna-di-piano-italy https://images.on-this.website/21891_821557908566b442b02bf1.jpgLaguna di Piano, Italy Sunrise at the lake. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/bergerac-dordogne-france-august-2012 https://images.on-this.website/21891_2068047563512673843e502.jpgBergerac, Dordogne, France A typical street scene in Bergerac, France. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/manowarbaymg6058 https://images.on-this.website/21891_12908995734f95248123183.jpgMan O War Bay Sunrise, Dorset Man O War Bay Sunrise, Dorset - May 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/bowleeze-sunset-weymouth-dorset-april https://images.on-this.website/21891_5502502994f82252465ca1.jpgBowleeze Sunset Bowleeze Sunset, Weymouth, Dorset - April 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo26303046.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_445358294566b45238e669.jpgLaguna di Piano, Italy Sunrise at the lake.

I was struggling to keep my tripod on the ground as the gusts swirled around on top, and passing rain showers kept me and my gear nice and wet. Then the rain stopped briefly and the sun managed to break through the cloud cover like a burning fireball, before disappearing into the storm clouds again. Time to go home for breakfast and a nice warm cup of tea :) https://www.mydigitaleye.net/herringston-snow-drops-herringston-3 https://images.on-this.website/21891_8621293844f9024c3d47fa.jpgOld Trees at Herringston Old Trees at Herringston, near Dorchester, Dorset. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/mupe-bay-sunrise https://images.on-this.website/21891_5020557114f8223a090f78.jpgEarly Morning at Mupe Bay Early Morning at Mupe Bay, Dorset - October 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/badburyavenuemg6125 https://images.on-this.website/21891_9431990654f952c4eedc8c.jpgBeech Tree Avenue, Kingston Lacey, Dorset Beech Tree Avenue, Kingston Lacey, Dorset - May 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/newton039s-cove-sunrise-weymouth-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_12811444874f8223a28ed0b.jpgNewton's Cove Sunrise Newton's Cove, Weymouth, Dorset - February 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/pulpit-rock-sunset-dorset-august https://images.on-this.website/21891_17890020204f8223abb83af.jpgPulpit Rock Sunset Pulpit Rock Sunset, Dorset - August 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/portland-bill-sunset-dorset-august https://images.on-this.website/21891_3448293434f8223b04cae1.jpgPortland Bill Sunset Portland Bill Sunset, Dorset - August 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/drops-of-colour https://images.on-this.website/21891_48030033654393140cce6a.jpgDrops of Colour Please contact me using the [url=/contact.html]Contact Me[/url] form if you would like to purchase this image, use for publication or commission me to create something similar and bespoke. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/kimmeridge-bay-sunrise-dorset-april https://images.on-this.website/21891_14577426224f822398ee0bc.jpgKimmeridge Bay Sunrise Kimmeridge Bay Sunrise, Dorset - April 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/lake-schwarzee-kitzbuhel-austria https://images.on-this.website/21891_13254680404fa426d6178ad.jpgLake Schwarzee, Kitzbuhel, Austria Early Morning mists across Lake Schwarzee, just outside Kitzbuhel. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/kimmeridge-bay-sunrise https://images.on-this.website/21891_12984505694f82239c5c4c9.jpgKimmeridge Bay Sunrise Kimmeridge Bay Sunrise, Dorset - April 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/piddletrenthidepan https://images.on-this.website/21891_6580576974f9038b9abfa0.jpgPiddletrenthide Panoramic view of the area just outside Piddletrenthide village. 4 Image Stitch. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo27089804.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_185636019857041d02ae002.jpgNovember 2015 - Another windy morning on Wears Hill with rain before first light that cleared at sunrise. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/kingston-mauward-in-autumn-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_891228413519ccab416900.jpgKingston Maurward in Autumn, Dorset November 2012 - The Autumn colours are in full bloom in the lovely grounds surrounding Kingston Maurward House. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/first-light-on-the-banjo https://images.on-this.website/21891_134424015755216eed8a652.jpgFirst light on The Banjo Jetty - Swanage, Dorset April 2015 - A nice start to a new month and a break from the high winds this week. Rain clouds started to drift in from behind me but disappeared again leaving behind a nice sunny day. This was taken 15 minutes before sunrise and I like the muted monochromatic tones of the jetty mixed with the colourful sky.. a picture of 2 halves and well suited to the square format. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/sunset-at-weymouth-harbour https://images.on-this.website/21891_5070025295485f98fae570.jpgSunset at Weymouth Harbour December 2014 - I went on a trip to Weymouth, taking advantage of the free parking on Saturday, and managed to grab a quick sunset shot while my wife was shopping.

This time of year the sun sets inland towards Lyme Regis and the cliffs will suddenly be cast in shadow as if someone has turned the light out about 20 minutes before sunset.

As the sun started to set the clouds picked up the suns last orange tones for the day and reflected across the wet rocks and pools. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/durdle-door-monochrome-december-2012 https://images.on-this.website/21891_24092459519cba3f38435.jpgDurdle Door Monochrome December 2012 - I was hoping to capture the 'holy grail' of Dorset Landscape photographers and see the sun poke it's head through the 'door', but the cloud cover was too low today so will return another day/year. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/hayling-island-sunset https://images.on-this.website/21891_9291678425ae78bb071047.jpgWest Beach Sunset, Hayling Island Sunset on West Beach, Hayling Island, amongst the beach huts. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/frosty-morning-along-the-river https://images.on-this.website/21891_519642645508f16f04489c.jpgFrosty morning along the river, Dorchester The first frosts of Autumn arrived and resulted in a misty start to the morning. This was taken not far from Grey's bridge in Dorchester. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/location-location-month-2011 https://images.on-this.website/21891_3558844174f8223a97834e.jpgMoody Sunrise at Portland Bill Sunrise at Portland Bill, Dorset - April 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/thornecombe-woods-dorchester-october-2012 https://images.on-this.website/21891_1207760389508f16e6189a4.jpgThorncombe Woods, Dorchester The Autumn colours are on their way, but still plenty of green on the trees. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/ringsteadbay-from-white-nothe-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_334955550b39110afd47.jpgView across Ringstead Bay from White Nothe, Dorset June 2010 - The clouds were creating beautiful patterns of light across the rolling hills of White Nothe towards Ringstead Bay. One of my favourite parts of the coastline local to Weymouth. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/wareham-forest-snow-january-2013 https://images.on-this.website/21891_19225356085137a30c4cf09.jpgWareham Forest Snow - January 2013 I visited Wareham forest the morning after the snow but didn't turn out to be as nice as I thought. I couldn't get this image to work in Landscape format but quite like this as a square. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/shell-bay-near-studland-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_1784974359552007a71bfd2.jpgShell Bay near Studland, Dorset March 2015 - The wind had picked up to around 30mph again, which made life difficult as the fine sand blew around me as I sheltered my camera. The tide was out which leaves behind small islands and streams running into the sea. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/maiden-castle-sunrise-in-march https://images.on-this.website/21891_54239649253162f718b71a.jpgMaiden Castle Sunrise in March, Dorset March 2014 - The Start of a new month began with a fantastic burst of colour that only lasted a few minutes but worth the wait. A slight ground frost finished off a perfect morning that turned into a lovely Spring like day. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/brownsea-island https://images.on-this.website/21891_15855254494fbad379320d9.jpgBrownsea Island - West Lake Another shot from my evening out on Brownsea Island. West lake is towards the middle of the island and has some interesting old trees growing around it's banks. The light was bright that evening and I'd normally wait until the sun was lower, but this time of year the banks of the lake would have been in shade. I decided to get what I could as liked the shadows on the nearest tree trunk cast by the surrounding trees. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/lulworth-cove-march-sunrise https://images.on-this.website/21891_113992277756fc2fbc2d61b.jpgLulworth Cove March Sunrise March 2016 - A slight mist across the tops of the surrounding hillsides diffused the rays of the rising sun long enough to capture the cove basking in the golden light on a still, cold almost spring like morning. The tide was exceptionally low this morning and the temperature around -1 and a lovely serene start to the day which could almost be mistaken for a sunset…unless you’re local. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/cerne-giant-cerne-abbas-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_161421122351ec3177b7640.jpgCerne Giant, Cerne Abbas, Dorset May 2013 - The fluffy white clouds created beautiful light across the Dorset countryside, casting their shadows as they moved across the scene. Rape seed was in full bloom which added to the rich green tones and blue sky.... perfect colour palette for an early Summer landscape. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/early-morning-at-lulworth-cove https://images.on-this.website/21891_191809951556fc2fbde568c.jpgEarly Morning at Lulworth Cove, Dorset March 2016 - A very calm sunny morning during the golden hour after sunrise. The tide had been extremely low for sunrise and then closely followed by a higher tide than normal (spring tides), which was coming in fast as I was taking this image. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/pevril-point-sunset-swanage-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_609866021506bffe1d3ba1.jpgPevril Point Sunset, Swanage, Dorset September 2012 - A nice calm autumn evening watching the sunset off Pevril Point Swanage.

I decided it deserved the attention of my macro lens. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/trainarrivinginstation https://images.on-this.website/21891_5498517294f902d3b8f3a1.jpgTrain Arriving In Station Train arriving at Dorchester South Station.

I wasn't dissapointed. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/osmington-mills-sunset-dorset https://images.on-this.website/21891_1935687287529e1eec26e12.jpgOsmington Mills Sunset, Dorset November 2013 - I love this quiet spot on the Dorset coastline where you can find interesting rock formations and the small waterfall from the stream running down to the sea. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/brownseaislandmg2005 https://images.on-this.website/21891_136157334fbad1f057b6c.jpgBrownsea Island - West Lake Another shot from my evening out on Brownsea Island.

November 2015 - Half an hour after an uneventful sunrise the storm clouds started to clear and Portland came into view again. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo27088905.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_35048924157040c16ec89f.jpgView towards Chapman's Pool near Emmetts Hill, St Aldhelm's Head March 2016 - Another shot from my afternoon walk on the Purbeck Coastline to St Aldhelm's Head. Chapman’s Pool is down below and Portland is visible in the distance. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/colmers-hill-dorset-april-2013 https://images.on-this.website/21891_8038085595198fadeae5d3.jpgColmers Hill, Dorset April 2013 - Today had been a very changeable day weather wise, infact I drove through a torrential rain and hale storm on the way to Symondsbury. I drove around Colmers to look for a different viewpoint and found a nice place I could park up and wait for the waether to clear. I spent about 3 hours dodging showers that kept passing over and managed to get a few frames in between each passing. It did make for an interesting sky once the grey rain clouds dissappeared. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/view-west-from-st-aldhelm039s https://images.on-this.website/21891_866515129530d10f20e3f6.jpgView West from St. Aldhelm's Head, Dorset February 2014 - It was perfect weather for walking so I decided to take a hike towards St. Aldhelm's Head. This was taken near Emmetts Hill on the way to the Coastguard station at St. Aldelm's and I just love the colours that are around the countryside at the moment due to the wet weather. Spring should be even better when we get the early wild flowers in full bloom. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/osmington-mills-march-sunset https://images.on-this.website/21891_115034938655072a9e5e390.jpgOsmington Mills, March Sunset. March 2015 - Another trek over slippery rocks to get here but always worth the effort. The sea was calm and the tides were favourable so I was able to stay to watch the sun setting behind the Chesil bank. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/photo27021748.html https://images.on-this.website/21891_141947848656fc2fc1bdfad.jpgBats Head Sunset March 2016 - There was a slight mist out to sea and this helped to diffuse the sun as it was setting and added a nice warm glow to the evening sky. It was worth the walk along the beach past the day trippers still around at Durdle Door. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/abbotsbury https://images.on-this.website/21891_14958853984f9038b47a6cf.jpgView from Abbotsbury Hill Panoramic view from Were Hill, Abbotsbury during the 'golden hour', which bathed the landscape in warm golden light. 'Golden Hour' or the 'Magic Hour' as some photographers call it, is roughly the hour before the sun sets and on a good day the landscape comes alive with warm light created as the sun heads downwards towards the horizon. 4 image stitch https://www.mydigitaleye.net/mupe-bay-sunrise-dorset-october https://images.on-this.website/21891_5972285294f82239e748ba.jpgMupe Bay Sunrise Mupe Bay Sunrise, Dorset - October 2011 https://www.mydigitaleye.net/bowleezeimg0304 https://images.on-this.website/21891_4566051534fe98fa51fe7a.jpgView from Bowleaze towards Weymouth Bay at Sunset View from Bowleaze towards Weymouth Bay at Sunset on a very cold, windy day. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/osmingtonmillsmg8828 https://images.on-this.website/21891_18004714484f952487ad31b.jpgEarly Morning at Osmington Mills January 2012 - Osmington Mills Sunrise, Dorset https://www.mydigitaleye.net/came-view-rape-seed-dorchester https://images.on-this.website/21891_876300366527bf97fd32cd.jpgCame View Rape Seed, Dorchester, Dorset May 2013 - My favourite time of year.. rape seed, blue skies and fluffy white clouds and the beautiful view they wanted to build houses on, but luckily did a u-turn. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/portland-bill-march-sunrise https://images.on-this.website/21891_10995718656fc2fc38deb5.jpgPortland Bill March Sunrise March 2016 - A rain shower had just passed over me and the wind and the waves were starting to pick up again, as the sun managed to burst through the bank of cloud. You can still see the rain showers on the horizon, so someone elses turn to get wet now. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/portland-bill-sunset-on-a https://images.on-this.website/21891_14259327125148f9f527e8f.jpgPortland Bill sunset on a windy day, Dorset March 2013 - The day had been changeable and mostly rain again, but started to clear as the sun went down showing some colour at last through the clearing storm clouds. The wind was fairly strong and the waves started crashing in as the tide changed towards high. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/kimmeridge-bay-ledge-september-sunset https://images.on-this.website/21891_201678480654790e597935c.jpgKimmeridge Bay Ledge September Sunset. September 2014 - What a great afternoon/evening I had at Kimmeridge with ultra low tides and a sky to die for.

As there wasn't much colour from the sun I opted for a long exposure to capture the swirling tides below. A beautiful view whatever the weather. https://www.mydigitaleye.net/portlandbill-mg3775 https://images.on-this.website/21891_7539016914fe98f5845cb1.jpgPortland Bill, Dorset I was heading over to Pulpit Rock for a sunset shoot, when I noticed this amazing sky behind the lighthouse.
