Sadly I had to drive through some absolutely stunning misty scenes this morning, so to help alleviate my FOMO, here’s a shot from Wilton windmill a couple of weeks ago. I can’t complain too much about not being out with the camera earlier, as I’ve been very fortunate with foggy mornings recently!

Having photographed this windmill so many times, it is difficult to come away with something different. For this shot I positioned the sun just behind the top of the windmill to give this backlit view, with the shadows of the sails being cast into the fog…pretty cool I think!

Stars reflecting at low tide 🌌

Here’s another image from a night shoot down at the amazing Kimmeridge Bay. It was an absolutely crystal clear night with light winds and, as it was in August, comfortably warm in shorts even at midnight!

One of the best places along the south coast to see the stars. 🤩

Autumn continuing to deliver, with another foggy sunrise this morning 🌅

Ethereal conditions in the New Forest, with the fog ebbing and flowing across the common. As the sun rose, the fog created a lovely soft diffused light…such a dreamy morning! 😮‍💨

Hello autumn 🍂 👋🏻

Yesterday’s post was a goodbye to summer, so here’s a photo to welcome in my favourite season (spring is my second fave).

Autumn, and September specifically, brings warm days and cooler nights. Together with clear skies, light winds and high humidity levels overnight, it is such a great time for misty and foggy mornings. Yesterday morning was a beaut!

Those of you who have followed my photography for a few years will know that this windmill is one of my go-to locations and I’ve photographed it in almost every way (including under THAT May 2024 aurora show) since my first visit in 2014.

With the windmill having been recently restored and boasting a full new set of sails, I headed out before work in the hope of grabbing some atmospheric shots of one of the most photogenic locations in Wiltshire. I wasn’t disappointed 😍

One last taste of summer 🌊☀️

We are being blessed with some glorious sunny days at the moment - I feel like September always delivers! Before we get into the autumnal shots (I had a fun misty shoot this morning, those are coming soon) I thought I’d share this summery top down view of the south coast taken one August morning.

A beautiful morning in the New Forest today, and dare I say, a little autumnal? 🌳🍂

I had set out to capture the lovely purple heather which carpets the Forest’s commons at this time of year. Although the heather has thankfully not all been scorched by this summer’s blazing heat, in this image my focus was drawn to the orange and golden hues in the bracken and fern. I left Salisbury in thick fog and arrived at Rockford to clearing skies, leaving smaller pockets of swirling mist - my favourite kind of morning!

Great to chat with Lawrence Dunn who was also capturing the glorious conditions this morning.

Stages of the partial solar eclipse last week ☀️🌑

I wish I’d taken some more shots towards the latter part of the eclipse so I could add to this, but I only had one camera and I needed to bag the cathedral shot I posted previously.

Hoping to create something like this for next year’s total solar eclipse in Spain!

What a night at Kimmeridge Bay 💫🌌

Tuesday night saw me venturing down to one of the darkest spots along Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. You know it’s going to be good when you get out the car and can clearly see the Milky Way with the naked eye! I’ve spent many a night down along the Dorset coastline, and it is one of my favourite places to stargaze and do some astro photography.

Having checked the tide times and visiting on an outgoing tide, I knew Kimmeridge’s famously photogenic ledges would be visible. Using one of these ledges as a leading line up to the centre of our home galaxy, I wanted to create a minimalist and calming astro scene. What do you think?

Can you spot the Perseid meteor blazing through the frame? You may notice its green tint; that’s due to the magnesium in the tiny bit of space dust burning up as it passes through our atmosphere 💫

A busy week of photography started with a trip to Knowlton church to shoot the summer Milky Way 🌌

Whilst there, a group of (seemingly) ghost hunters turned up for a chat with the ghoulies 👻…which was interesting!

The location can be quite atmospheric and holds a lot of history.

Great to be back out with my astro buddy Mayur Patel, and it was nice to meet Janette Britton and Candis Jarvis also shooting the stars! ✨

Breakthrough ☀️🌳🧄

Another shot from this beautiful garlic-filled woodland, where the soft afternoon light filtered through the trees. So peaceful! 😌
