Tree on the Hill
Colourful minimalism when a ray of light breaks through the clouds.
Botallack Mine
The Crown Engine Houses of the Botallack Tin Mine at the spectacular south west coast of Cornwall.
My Lee LittleStopper made for a 10 second exposure, just enough to create the amount of dynamics in the waves I wanted.

When St. Michael’s Mount is not the main subject in the image.
Cornish Winterwaters
A moment of quality light around the abandoned Lizard Lifeboat Station in Cornwall. Does it make you wish to be there yourself?
Lizard Lifeboat Station
There are several Lifeboat Stations around The Lizard in Cornwall. Tis one is the third station at Polpeor Cove, which has been closed in 1958.
Challenging weather conditions with strong winds and torrential rain made photography a real adventure in December. But I certainly had a few lucky moments, when the light was breaking through the clouds, revealing the beauty of the Cornish coast.
Forest floor on Plump Hill
On a walk through the forest we often forget paying attention to what’s down on the ground.
Spruces in the Fog
A moody and misty Forest of Dean, where this area of Spruces was inviting me to produce this Woodland Panorama.
Let it glow
Autumn is Mushroom time in the Forest and some of them reveal their full beauty when they start to glow and shine.
Evening over the Severn Vale
An aerial view from the North Eastern edge of the Forest of Dean, over the Severn Vale, into the distant Cotswolds. All warmed up and softened by the light of a sunset.
Crosby Beach
One of the reasons why I create long exposure photographs, is that it helps me isolating the main subject in the image. As you can see, I don’t hesitate using my trusted Lee Big Stopper (10 Stop ND filter) on a 200 mm telephoto lens.
Another Place
One out of 100 cast iron sculptures at Crosby Beach, created by Sir Antony Gormley.
Super strong wind is bringing long exposure photography to the test when you use a 70-200mm lens, add a Lee Landscape Polariser, a Lee Big Stopper and place your tripod in the sand with waves rolling in.
Electric Sky
Who needs television, when mother nature displays such an amazing light show in the sky?
On the other hand I was quite happy, not to be right underneath these immense forces.
The Cornish Mount
St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, on an April evening, back in 2017. This image was sitting on my hard disk for quite a while and waiting to be mangled through Photoshop a bit. Finally I found the time to do the job and here it is. I am so looking forward to visit my favourite places in Cornwall again…
Comet Neowise
Over the last few days, we all have seen many images of comet Neowise. Obviously I was thinking of getting my own images too but couldn’t decide to set my alarm at 2.00 in the morning, because from what I was reading, I expected it to be visible in the early morning hours, just before sunrise.
Yesterday around midnight, I turned the lights off, ready to go to bed and had a final look out of the kitchen window. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, just above the horizon, between the trees on the hill. There he was in all his glory. Quickly grabbing camera and tripod was a no brainer and here is what I captured from the pavement right outside my house.
The Milky Way over Breakheart Hill
According to google maps, this location is is exactly 750 meters in a direct line away from my home. It still amazes me that I was able to capture the Milky Way directly in my neighbourhood.
It’s busy in the Night Sky
In a time lapse of the milky way, photographed over only two hours, I noticed a lot of moving objects flying across the sky. So I decided to merge them all together in on single image. I’m no expert but apart from a few aircrafts and maybe one meteor, most of them are satellites.
Knowing that more and more satellites are to be launched, the night sky will never look as it used to be…
Milky Way Panorama at Symonds Yat Rock
I have created panoramic images of this iconic bend of the river Wye before. The reason why I chose this location for my recent night photography session was, that I wanted to create a panorama with the full arch of the Milky Way spanning over it. Well, here it is.
I also wanted to see if it can be done in a very light polluted area, nowhere near a really dark sky - turns out it is possible
The force awakens
The the milky way is rising over the Forest of Dean and the Severn valley.
Outer Space
This is another result of my „Macro Art with a single Light“ session. As you see, it doesn’t always have to be a Dandelion seed. Can you guess what it is?
An afternoon at Tŵr Mawr
The western entrance to the Menai Strait is marked by the Tŵr Mawr Lighthouse on Ynys Llanddwyn, Anglesey, Wales.
Llanddwyn Island is a truly magical place and I’m really looking forward to spend some quality time here again soon.
Snowdonia Days
Yes, it’s the boathouse at Llyn Ogwen in Snowdonia again. I can’t get enough of it because with every change of light and weather, it changes the mood of the scenery.
A Path across
Visiting St. Michael’s Mount in Marazion is always a highlight of a trip to and through Cornwall. I simply can’t get enough of this beautiful place.
