Monday 30th October:
St Michael's Mount Causeway on a largely grey and breezy day. Some light coming from the east but very dark to the west. I love to try and get something slightly different from a honey pot location. Using a wide angle lens very low to the ground and trying to get a few reflections as well.

Sunday Afternoon:
Saw a few more rainbows this afternoon but none in quite the right places. With a westerly gale blowing I sought shelter down behind the arsenic tunnels at Levant. Hoping for that perfect rainbow over the lighthouse but had to make do with some lovely light and lively seas.

Sunday 29th October:
By the time daylight arrived the tide was on it's way out but the promenade was already covered in pebbles and seaweed. The sea was still sending spray over the railings and the council sweeper was already clearing the surface so no one would come a cropper and sue for millions!
It's Pickle's last day on the promenade and even in the intermittent rain and sea spray lots of people drinking coffee and eating bacon rolls. Pickle now moves to Newlyn Art Gallery garden for the winter -reopening at the end of November. Mostly dark and cloudy this morning but every now and again we had a burst of light.

Saturday 28th October:
It was all about the sky today. This morning at sunrise it was all very grey and cloudy and I'd all but given up and was wandering along for coffee. They say that photographers should always look behind them and that's what I did. The sky to the east turned fiery but only for a few minutes as quick as it came it went and we were back to grey.
This afternoon we went rainbow hunting for the third day but this time we had success. Sitting in the car down a rough track near Botallack the rain was hammering on the roof but behind you could see blue sky-ideal rainbow conditions. As if someone pressed a switch as the rain front passed a rainbow appeared. A quick jump out of the car in the rain-no time for a coat-two minutes of frantic snapping and it went as fast as it came. It was actually a double rainbow, although the higher bow is quite feint.

Friday 27th October:
Out for my regular seafront walk this morning but all grey and dull so no images at all for a while. When I'm out in the mornings i often hear squeaks and screams as the early morning swimmers slowly get into the water. This morning one lady, in a bikini, walked quickly along the little jetty at Battery Rocks and dived straight off-took my breath away not sure about hers. i wandered back to Pickle for coffee and then out along the horizon a appeared a band of sunbeams moving towards The Lizard.
This afternoon I made a return trip to Botallack where still no rainbows but the light and contrast were superb. Rain and dark clouds in front of me and sun lighting the mines from behind me. Some in colour and some in black and white. Because of the contrast I prefer the black and white today. The last image is looking the opposite way where the waves and spray were being backlit by the sun.

Thursday 26th October:
A sunrise shoot in Penzance and an afternoon rainbow hunting trip up to Botallack. This morning it was all a bit grey to begin with and for the first hour I was out I didn't take a photograph. I wandered along to Pickle for coffee and as I waited the rain began. This was a signal for the light to kick off-a rainbow over the town and lovely diffused sunlight across Mounts Bay. With the promenade now wet there were some reflections as the backlit people jogged and wandered by.
This afternoon up at Botallack there was some excellent light for a while and one rainbow did make a brief appearance but not quite in the right place.

Wednesday 25th October:
Down on Penzance Promenade it was still dark but the colours in the sky were already glowing and Pickle was set up ready for business. Some lovely clean waves coming into the bay, hitting the promenade wall and rolling back out to meet others coming in. I knew once the light came up I would have a good chance of capturing some colliding swells.
At the moment sunrise photography and coffee at Pickle are timed perfectly together but at the end of this week Pickle disappears for the winter. All is not lost as Susie and Chloe are reopening over at the back of Newlyn Art Gallery in a shipping container so it'll be more Newlyn walks I've got a feeling.

Tuesday 24th October:
With rain overnight and a clearing sky forecast to coincide with sunrise I was hopeful of some drama this morning.
Well, as you can see from the three images, I did get some gorgeous colour but unfortunately it came and went in an instant.
The images are in the order they were taken and all before official sunrise. The sun was due to rise just to the left of the Mount but as you can see that horizon has a thick band of cloud along it. Within minutes the light and colour was lost and grey took over.

Monday 23rd October:
It rained all day but an hour or so before sunset it showed signs of clearing so it was a quick bag pack and off to the far eastern end of Penzance.
A couple of years ago I created some lovely sunset silhouettes here which I really like and I was hoping to get something similar this evening. The conditions were quite good for what I had in mind but not as good as those two years ago. I'll keep returning when I think it's right.

Sunday 22nd October:
Out for a Sunday photwalk starting in the dark, witnessing a beautiful sunrise, coffee at Pickle and a sailing ship in front of the Mount -what more could you ask for.
The sailing ship is The Happy Return which has a fascinating history that you can find out about on her website and also how you can go sailing in her for just £25 a year.

Saturday 21st October:
A very bland grey day for photography so I decided to stay home and sort through more of yesterday's images. The first set below were taken when I first arrived at Porthleven. It was still quite dark and I spent the first half hour on the beach slipway making some images looking west towards the pier. I've edited these in black and white as the light and colour in the wave images I posted yesterday hadn't yet appeared.
The second set are of the surfers out off the harbour mouth where a reef gives superb waves in the right conditions. This is a dangerous spot and only for the most experienced surfers, several of them accessed the water by jumping off the pier. In the last image the surfer caught the wave out by the reef and rode it right into the pier.

Friday 20th October:
Back down to Porthleven this morning for sunrise. Storm Babet was due to cause a big swell to pick up and with the forecast also hinting at some mist I drove the half hour from home full of expectation.
Arriving at Porthleven Harbour my early rise was rewarded with some beautiful conditions with big seas and misty pink light. I wasn't the only photographer, as a good dozen arrived over the next hour and numerous visitors holding up their smartphones.
The first set of images I'm posting are looking east towards the rising sun. The sun itself was not visible but the light coming through the mist was perfect.
Believe it or not, behind me, as I took these images, were about thirty or more surfers out off the harbour mouth. I always say I'll ignore them but I never can so I'll post some images of them later.
The sea was also crashing over and around the pier so that's a third set of images that will appear soon and I haven't even mentioned the waves themselves that I captured.
All in all I ended up with nearly 300! That's the problem with dramatic seascape photography, at least in woodland or landscape photography nothing much moves.

Thursday 19th October:
A morning of rain was followed by a dry and warm late afternoon, even a bit of hazy sunshine. Down at Porthleven it was lovely with a steady stream of visitors wandering along, many with their dogs and others taking countless smartphone images to remind them of their holiday. Tomorrow the swell is due to pick up and so the waves will be over the pier but at least we are not forecast the amount of rain due in Scotland.

Wednesday 18th October:
I thought I was going to miss out today but at 6 o'clock this evening the rain stopped and so I made the quick decision to wander along the promenade in the near dark. Looking out into the bay I was surprised to see a lit up Scillonian on it's way in. I had assumed the sailing today would have been cancelled.
At the land end of the pier were two shuttle buses and two large coaches waiting to collect passengers from the ferry. You have got to feel sorry for two coach loads of probably older visitors who had been looking forward to their day on the Isles of Scilly all year.
I'm guessing quite a few were sick on the way out and sick on the way back. To top it all it had been rain and wind all day and I doubt if many would have been equipped for those conditions.

Tuesday 17th October:
Near gale force winds today and still straight into the bay so the promenade is at least getting a good wash down. In the morning I wandered down to the harbour where one of the fishing was off out to sea despite the weather and approaching Storm Babet.
Back on the promenade I came close to a real drenching as a wave reared up right in front of me, it was a good photo though!
In the afternoon I made a trip over to Newlyn and down onto the pebble beach at Sandy Cove which then puts you at the back of Newlyn South Pier. There is still no swell running just a wind blown frezy of white water being thrown against the pier and then rushing back to meet the next incoming wave.

Monday 15th October:
Morning and afternoon sessions just down the road from my house. A strong south easterly whipping up the sea and throwing waves, pebbles and seaweed up onto the promenade. The morning images have been edited in colour and the afternoon in black and white. This evening I stayed till almost dark and then there was some really dramatic contrast between the darkness and white water.

Sunday 15th October:
A dawn photo walk where, before sunrise especially, the colour was almost unbelievable. Still but chilly with a lot of people out swimming long before the sun rose. The last image shows a whole group of them off Battery Rocks with the distant windfarm on the Lizard clearly visible and you can even pick out three of the satellite dishes at Goonhilly Earth Station.

Saturday 14th October:
After more rain overnight it was looking more promising for this morning and so I was over at Marazion before sunrise. It was really cold in the northerly wind and the sea was actually quite rough. After taking some wave images and getting wet as one proved a bit bigger than the others I had a bit of good fortune when I came across a sheltered rock pool. By getting down right onto the surface of the pool I was able to get some lovely reflections which make it look like a warm and still day. Really pleased with the reflection shots so will return again to this pool when tides and weather conditions are right. The first image was taken before sunrise and actually shows the wave that got me-a split second after I took this image I was soaked.

Friday 13th October:
It poured with rain all night but by official sunrise it was just a bit damp with the promise of a few gaps in the tick cloud. I've learned from experience that if I wait around long enough one of those gaps might just end up in the right place. This morning it took an hour or so for that burst of light to appear and it lasted just a few minutes.

Some other images I managed to capture this morning while I was waiting for the light-I love the little dog posing perfectly for his portrait in his best jacket.
Down on the beach I had just a couple of moments of sun to add a little light to the images.

Thursday 12th October:
With heavy rain forecast by mid afternoon I made the decision to drive up to Cape Cornwall in the morning. Really thick fog on the road up to St Just but dropping down to the Cape the fog cleared, bit of a pity really. Down at Cape only one other car and the cafe was closed. I went down into Priest's Cove and played about with some 60 second exposures and then later some images of the wider scene. Two hours later there were seven cars in the car park and the cafe was open.

No warmth or colour this morning as the weather takes on a chillier grey feel. Still plenty of people out for an early morning swim. Makes me shiver just thinking about it. There was about twenty minutes between the two images below.

Monday 9th October:
Fog was forecast for early morning and often this is a good time to go to Marazion where, if you are lucky, the castle on the Mount will appear as if its floating in the sky when the sun begins to burn off the fog. The problem this morning was that the fog didn't budge. I was on the causeway for well over an hour and I didn't even see the mount let alone make images of it. What I did though was document the comings and goings on the causeway as visitors came to admire the view! I met another dog and her owners down on holiday and Luna, a black spaniel. was having a whale of a time chasing gulls and splashing about in the still water.

Down on Sennen Beach last night we met the beautiful and bouncy Maggie and her owner-down on holiday and Maggie was thoroughly enjoying her evening on the beach. Can never resist a dog portrait if the chance arises.
Sunday 8th October:
Sunrise this morning on Penzance Pier and sunset this evening on Sennen Beach. Both unusual but both beautiful in different ways.

The bronze statue of a fisherman on the edge of Newlyn Green with Penzance in the distance. The statue shows a fisherman casting his line as the boat arrives in port. It was built to honour dead fishermen, with over twenty local men having died fishing since 1980. Money was raised for the statue locally and the life-size bronze casting was made by local sculptor, Tom Leaper.
Friday 6th October:
I saw the sun go down last night and watched it come up this morning. Last night it sank like a giant red ball and this morning rose as an enormous smudge of orange.

Thursday Evening:
An evening on the beach at Godrevy with a surprising change of light for the last few minutes as the sun appeared through some gaps in the cloud. It was like a giant red glowing beachball and makes the last image look as if was a different evening.

Wednesday 4th October:
A couple of weeks ago I posted an image of a man sitting on a stool on Penzance Promenade. Well this morning I took the same image but this time had a chat as I wanted to know why he sat here most mornings in exactly the same place.
Well, his name is Jeremy and he lives near St Ives, about 8 miles from here.
Most mornings he drives to Penzance and parks at the end of the promenade and walks along to his sitting spot. I asked him why he sits in exactly the same spot and the answer was that he has arthritis of the hips and that's as far as he can walk. He comes to Penzance for his walk because the promenade is perfectly flat.
I promised I'd tell the story one day and there it is.
As an aside he has a camera phone in his pocket and takes images of the sunrise when it's spectacular.

Tuesday Afternoon
After this morning's spectacular red sunrise I thought I'd do something very different this afternoon. These images are from Rinsey Beach but not as you normally see it. A lot of sand from here has disappeared during the recent storms, it may not return until spring.

Tuesday 3rd October:
A dramatic Autumn sunrise down at the harbour with little wind and the promise of a beautiful day. When the weather plays ball this has got to be the best time of year, still warm, much quieter and such beautiful colours.

Monday 2nd October:
A blue misty morning in Penzance with no sign of sunshine as the town wakes up. In the harbour the gates were open to allow the fishing boat Karen-M to come in and unload it's catch. An oil tanker truck was waiting to fuel her up ready for sea again.

Sunday 1st October:
Thick fog all over West Cornwall today so it was a trip up to Levant Mine to take advantage. The old mine workings in Cornwall always lend themselves to some black and white atmospheric images. The first image is the header photograph-this is Bal Mine situated on the road down to Levant.
