What I've got to say...
This blog is a chance for me to share with the world the other side of the lens, and will hopefully be an entertaining insight into the world of marine photography.
Dark and Stormy
Sunday November 23, 2008
In my campaign to capture images that portray the mood and atmosphere of the sea, I headed down the road to where I first grew up in Hill Head, in Hampshire. With the sun setting fiendishly early at the moment, it was a rush to get set up... Read more >>
Worth The Wait
Tuesday November 11, 2008
My trip to devon in the search of locations to photograph, was a mixed one. The awful weather was only interrupted with a couple of glimpses of good light, and when they came I did my best to capture what I could... Read more >>
Indecent Exposure
Friday November 07, 2008
In preparation for my photographic trip to devon this weekend, I wanted to test out some theory on long exposures. I headed down to Boscombe Pier in Bournemouth, the longest exposure I went to was 6 minutes, but in the end my favourite (shown here, and in the Scenic gallery) was only 5 seconds... Read more >>
Life's a beach
Friday October 17, 2008
Well it's been a long time since my last blog post. A hectic schedule and lots of travel can be blamed for that, as well as spending time developing new features for the website. There is now an 'Events' page where there will be public galleries for specific events covered by Pike Pictures.. Read more >>
Howzat!?!?
Sunday August 31, 2008
To say the Brambles Cricket Match this year was wet would be an understatement!! There was a downpour, just before everyone was due to go ashore, this was as it became clear there was not to be a shore to go to!.. Read more >>
Solent Antics
Sunday August 31, 2008
The Laser SB3 Solent Cup which was due to play out over two days saw all the action fall on Friday as Saturdays' races were cancelled due to lack of wind. What racing there was on Friday though was competitive and exciting to watch... Read more >>
Knights of the Round Table
Monday August 25, 2008
The 138th Annual Bursledon Regatta was 'Camelot' themed this year, and not needing too much of an excuse to dress up I could be found drink in hand on a crusade all of my own, looking the part! .. Read more >>
Skiffing Stuff
Monday August 18, 2008
To wrap up a busy week in the office, I get treated to a day shooting the 18ft Skiff Solent GP. With a slow start to the wind, just prior to the first start it picked up to a healthy 18 knots from the Southwest. It was a great day of sailing with plenty of action, enough to fill two 16gb memory cards!.. Read more >>
X-Men
Monday August 11, 2008
I love Cowes Week, and once you get past the debauchery in the beer tents, you'll notice there's some great action on the water, and I don't mean the hundreds of RIBs descending on Town Quay. The X-Boat fleet is both well attended and much less raucous than other classes, makes for nice photos too. .. Read more >>
What a classic
Friday August 01, 2008
The proposition to race on the ex royal yacht doesn't come about every day. Competing on Bloodhound this week has been a real privilege, it felt a bit heart wrenching missing out on so many beautiful shots, but the sailing was a great buzz... Read more >>
