Yellow fish

Yellow fish
I took this photo when I went to London Sea Life recently. It’s so difficult trying to take a decent photo of any of the fish through a tank and all the water, but I think this one looks ok (out of the hundred or so that I took).
This is called a Yellow Tang and it wasn’t whizzing around quite so much compared to the other fish

The best of 2013

2013 has been an exciting year for me with regards to photography; I finally managed to get myself a DSLR and was able to take some great photos with it at some amazing places. I have also been learning more about photography through a course as well as through all of you bloggers out there. Some of you have left helpful tips, while others have left kind and encouraging words, but I think most of all I feel that having seen photos that you have taken and published on your blogs you have really set the bar high, with beautiful, amazing shots of the world around you. I thank you all for your support on my blog and for helping me see the world in a different perspective.

I hope you all have a happy and successful 2014 and I leave you with some of my favourite photos from this year.

Magic walkway

This is the pathway that leads to St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall.

Those who know about it, know that when the tide goes out the walkway becomes clear for you to walk on and leads you to the small island that has a castle or ‘mount’. The Island has many stories about it’s history, some factual, some in folklore, the most famous being it was once home to King Arthur.

Once the tide begins to come in the pathway begins to disappear beneath the waves (which I found out half way down on my way back to the mainland with my shoes getting soaked)

Once the tide is completely in from afar it seems like the pathway never existed and was perhaps even magic!

I’d love to hear your experiences of St Michael’s Mount and if you saw the tides coming in or out

Sea breakers

Sea breakers

I’ve only visited a small number of beaches and I’ve never seen sea breakers like this before, but I guess it makes sense. I like this picture as even though the horizon isn’t quite even (I find it really tricky to get it straight) I love how you can see faintly in the distance rows of wind turbines
