I spent yesterday evening patiently waiting for the moon to appear, whilst my husband achieved a shot that he's been after for a few years.

It was a lovely walk this afternoon, worth the tingly nettle stung legs and hayfever sneezes 😉

I'm not usually one for fireworks, but it was quite a sight up on the cliff tonight.

A moonlit Needles taken during the full moon from a couple of weeks ago. The moonlight was so strong that it highlighted the textures in the chalk cliffs. #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

Night falls over a chalk cliff and rocks. A red and white lighthouse guards the rocks. Moonlight illuminates the scene.

The crescent moon looked incredible last night. Earthshine gave the appearance of the moon being full. It was too dark to capture the Needles in the distance, but it was fun to be out. #IsleofWight #Moon #Photography

A large moon, in an almost dark sky with the illumination of a distant city. Several coastguard cottages are closer in the view, a headland and a lighthouse in the middle space.

Appley Tower in Ryde. Springtime sunshine and daffodils are shifting the winter gloom!

Yellow daffodils in bloom beside a Folly. The building appears like a small fairytale castle, it looks like a turret minus the rest of a castle. The sun has just risen and a burst of light bounces off the tower. A beach sits beyond.

Season finale. Some pictures from the last few weeks of Brighton's starling murmuration. More at open.substack.com/pub/finnhopson/p/season-finale

A starling murmuration next to Brighton's Palace Pier. The photograph was taken in the sea looking towards the illuminated helter skelter and fairground rides. The starlings are forming a dark black conical shape angling away from the pier.

A starling murmuration over the sea in Brighton at sunset. The West Pier can just be seen under the mass of birds in the sky. There is a hint of a reflection of the murmuration in the water beneath.

A starling murmuration over Brighton seafront. The birds are flying very low and close to the camera, almost filling the sky with black silhouettes.

Yarmouth Pier in the early Spring sunshine. It was a little tricky photographing it when it was devoid of people 😅 #IsleofWight #LandscapePhotography

A white railed pier, the view leading down to the end with a hut, flag , several benches and ornamental lamposts. The sky is blue with a few white fluffy clouds. The sea is calm but with a few waves rippling alongside the pier.

Despite the rain today Spring was definitely in the air at Compton Bay on Monday afternoon 😌

A deserted beautiful beach in the late winter haze. Blue skies, white cliffs in the gentle light.

A big moment for our little business as we launched our first ever coffee table style book yesterday! The response has been amazing. #landscapephotography #IsleofWight

A photo of a hardback landscape photography book. The cover features rolling hills leading to a chalk Downland and the sea in the distance. An ominous sky and beautiful light, just as a storm is about to hit.
