No finer way to greet the day than watching the sun peek over the horizon in the marsh.

A new year, new challenges and one of my new year resolutions is to try out more different kinds of photography. Minimalism fascinates me and I love photographing in shades of white. For this photo I placed a white sheet of cardboard on an outside table and photographed the white egg in hard sunshine so that I would get a strong shadow. The result seemed perfect for representing a new beginning.
For last year's words belong to last year's language.
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

Another image from the trip up to the Lakes a couple of weeks ago, the weather had been largely poor but this morning was looking decent on the forecast and early on I opened the curtains to a world of foggy goodness covering the entirity of Windermere.
This was shot looking down the Lake towards Boness from Ambleside with the prominent hill of Latterbarrow at 244m managing to poke its head above the inversion. You can actually just see a little bit of Windermere in the shot with some trees reflected into it.
This was taken about 10 minutes prior to sunrise over the mountains with the sky coloring up but the colour still not quite reaching right across the frame but just warming the trees in the foreground up nicely picking out some Autumn colours. The drop in the temperature was very noticeable in both my hands, and the battery life of the drone!

This photo was taken on the morning as storm Arwen raged, as I was adjusting my composition tuning the camera on the tripod to vertical I glimpse this wave starting. I quickly took several shots as I tightened my tripod. This first shot was the only one I caught full frame as it soon rose higher and started to exit right, that photo I called "The jaws of Arwen”.

Happy first day of 2015 my friends,

"In the Beginning" both in the biblical and literal sense... This old church is the only thing left of a town that once was... I can't find any history on the church as to when it was built.
The image was shot right after I arrived at 7pm on Monday night. Winds were already picking up. I kept looking at my weather apps to see which direction the storm was going (trying to stay safe) and the app was telling me something completely different than what was actually happening. Eventually, this storm turned into a tornado about where the lightning is in this image (I'll post that image later) My plan here was to photograph this old church with the milky way behind it from the other side. That did not happen. I soon realized that if I did not get out of there I was gonna end up like one of the cows in the movie Twister. It's hard to describe properly but as I was trying to escape the wrath of this storm I soon realized I was surrounded with no where to go. Being out on the plains with no shelter I was pretty scared...I was in my car but that wont really protect you from a tornado. Just south of this church sit two old silos and I thought about getting in them but I would have had to leave my car and run about 100 yards with quarter sized hail coming down at incredible speeds... I weighed my options quickly and ended up finding a tree to park under to lessen the damage to the car from the hail. I sat there for about 30 min, called my wife to let her know where I was and what was happening in case I didn't make it. Finally the hail turned to rain, I waited a little longer for the storm to move further away and then I got out of there... it was one of the top 5 scariest times of my life...I felt helpless because mother nature doesn't care who you are and I really didn't have a good solid way of protecting myself when push came to shove...
This image was shot 2 hours before the storm fully developed, this was the fun part of the night that soon turned into a real life horror story. In another image you will see the storm headed right for the church and I am really wondering if it's still standing... If it is, I will be very amazed... So the next morning I visited another old church that is falling apart and while the structure is good the sides are gone and you can see right through it. I decided then that I was going to start taking images of myself standing next to these places because it seems like they are falling down faster and faster....

The beginning of a new day and the holiday weekend. I'm glad I got out early as I was treated to a nice sunrise over the lake.
