Ohhhh what a morning it was first thing today. It just kept on giving. The mist just kept coming and going. It was at its most gorgeous 20 minutes after sunrise when golden light flooded the scene. This is Pamphill near Wimborne at its most 'painterly'. #Stunday #ICM #Art #EastCoastKin #Photography

Today is #Stunday and I think the milky way is stunning. To stand and look deep into the edge of our galaxy is humbling. Especially when viewed in a dark sky location. It's visible along the coast of North Florida. #photography #landscape #ECK #MilkyWay #stars #astronomy #space #astrophotography

Today, I need the reminder of the gorgeous tones of Harris. This place been pulling me back all year and as it comes to a close I am starting to plan my trip back. With all the madness in the world I need my sanity back and feel the force of nature against my skin. Cant wait! #icm #art #Photography

Sunrise, yesterday. The conditions didn’t quite turn out as I’d hoped. But it was still beautiful to see.

Another very special moment from this season in Greenland… Discovering this beautiful iceberg and its amazing green underwater base in the middle of some very thick fog was surely one of the highlights of this summer for me… #photography #nature #redsails #adventure #art 🌿
A beautifully shaped iceberg with a large green underwater base, our red sails boat standing between 2 parts of the iceberg, the whole scene wrapped into thick fog with just enough light entering. Photography, no ai.

Painting with a camera. 🌅 A stripe of golden evening light bleeding across the moving tide at Polzeath last week in the final in my series of ICM shots. #ICM #IntentionalCameraMovement #Cornwall #Polzeath #FineArtPhotography #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #ECK #LandscapePhotography #BlueSkyMonday
An intentional camera movement (ICM) fine-art photograph of a coastal landscape at sunset. The image features soft, blurred horizontal bands of colour, transitioning from a deep blue and pale sky at the top down to a striking, luminous band of golden-orange reflecting across the wet sand and breaking waves in the middle and foreground. Framed with a clean white border.

A macro photo captures a male ruddy darter delicately perched on a vivid pink flower bud. Its translucent wings spread wide, revealing an intricate network of veins that sparkle in the light, while its rich red abdomen creates a dramatic contrast against the soft green and warm, blurred background. The image beautifully highlights the dragonfly’s delicate structure, vibrant colour and elegance.

Dorset is blessed with different landscapes. As a photographer I dont have to go far out of my door to find something wonderful. This time of year anything can happen but when you get fog the magic really happens. Here is an appreciation of one of them. #EastCoastKin #icm #Photography #Scape #art

4.30 start this morning. It is amazing how quickly the days get longer this time of the year. I dont mind I am normally awake at the first sign of light anyway. The wild garlic is amazing this year and is absolutely everywhere. The smell is so gorgeous. #ICM #Art #Photography #EastClastKin #Stunday

The sun is hidden behind a thick bank of cloud. Above the clouds rays of gold stream upwards. A small cloud, illuminated pale gold by the sun sits amongst the rays. A flock of birds fly towards the left, just above the small cloud. Under the thick cloud, on the left, is the silhouette of a headland, with a lighthouse. From the headland to the left, and right is the silhouette of flat land. Ruffled water fills out the bottom of the photo.

Photo by Kort Duce

A great blue heron peers inquisitively while perched on a log at a nature area in Longmont, Colorado. In this vertical color photograph, the heron fills the frame in right profile, with part of its legs and feet cropped out. Its neck curves into a graceful “S,” and the two head plumes lift upward in unison. Wind ruffles its plumage backward as it tilts its head slightly upward, its eye fixed with intense awareness on its surroundings. The background is softly blurred, showing rippled water, the opposite shoreline, and green trees with a faint, shimmering fence line.
