I started my photography adventure in 2024, fell in love with the lens, and now I spend my time chasing light across beautiful Kernow. Sharing daily views of the Cornish coast and countryside. Come along for the journey!

Low-flying formation over the surf. 🌊 A flock of oystercatchers skimming the waves, perfectly matching the black-and-white rhythm of the coast. Love catching moments like this where wildlife and the ocean just click into place. 🦅✨ #Photography #Cornwall #Wildlife #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyArtShow #Ocean

A dynamic wildlife photograph of a small flock of black-and-white oystercatchers flying low in unison just above the foaming surf of a Cornish beach. The crashing white waves form a horizontal band across the middle, set against a deep blue and pale sky. The wet sand and shallow water fill the foreground.

A Cornish icon taking in the view. A red-billed (Cornish) chough perched right on top of the old mine chimney at Chapel Porth. Doesn't get much more Cornish than that, wildlife and history side by side on the cliffs. #Photography #Cornwall #ChapelPorth #EastCoastKin #Wildlife #BlueSkyArtShow #ECK

A wildlife photograph of a red-billed chough perched on the circular brick rim of an old mine chimney at Chapel Porth, Cornwall. The dark bird, featuring bright red legs and a curved red beak, stands on the weathered orange-red bricks. In the background, the soft, textured blue-turquoise sea fills the entire frame. Framed with a wide white border.

Looking back down the path toward Polzeath Bay framed by the old wooden gate. 🌊 I love finding these little portals along the coast path where the landscape suddenly opens right up. #Photography #Cornwall #EastCoastKin #Landscape #BlueSkyArtShow #PhotographersOfBluesky

A landscape photograph looking through a rustic wooden farm gate towards Polzeath Bay, Cornwall. The weathered wooden gate on the right and a broken fence on the left frame a dry, grassy dirt path that leads down toward a cluster of white coastal buildings and a bright turquoise bay under a hazy blue sky. Bordered with a clean white frame.

I spent a morning recently watching the mist slowly lift over the Tamar at Calstock. 🌫️ There is something so peaceful about seeing the massive viaduct arches cut through the fog, perfectly mirrored in the river. #LandscapePhotography #RiverTamar #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyArtShow #Bridge #Cornwall

A beautiful landscape photograph of the stone Calstock Viaduct spanning the River Tamar on a misty morning. The massive stone arches stretch horizontally across the middle of the frame, their shapes perfectly reflected in the calm, glassy water below. Low, thick white morning fog rolls beneath the arches, partially obscuring the wooded hills and houses in the background. A patch of blue sky breaks through the clouds above, and a single white seagull is flying low near the water on the right. Framed with a wide white border.

Out on the coast path at The Rumps near Polzeath. 🌊 Clinging to the edge of the cliffs just to soak in those unbelievable Atlantic blues, and a welcome breeze against this scorching summer heat! ☀️ #Photography #Cornwall #EastCoastKin #Landscapephotography #BlueSkyArtShow #Scape #Polzeath

A stunning, wide panoramic landscape photograph of The Rumps headland near Polzeath, Cornwall. The rugged, green-and-gold grass-covered promontory juts out into a vibrant, deep blue and turquoise ocean. A dusty dirt coast path winds into the frame from the bottom right corner. The sky above is filled with dramatic, dark blue and white horizontal cloud bands, casting beautiful light over the wild coastline. The image is framed with a wide white border.

Taking a quiet stroll along the coast path at Glebe Cliff near Tintagel. 🌊 Watching the two of them navigate the path together, completely content in their own little world. Just my girl, Bizzy, and the wide-open Cornish landscape. 🌾🐾 #Photography #Cornwall #EastCoastKin #Landscapes

A beautiful documentary photograph taken from behind a young girl with long brown hair as she walks her fluffy black and white dog on a lead along a winding gravel path at Glebe Cliff. The path cuts through lush, sunlit green fields on a clifftop under a clear blue sky. In the distant background on the crest of the hill sits the old stone St Materiana's Church at Tintagel. The image features a shallow depth of field and is framed with a wide white border.

Emerging from my World Cup bubble for #WindowsOnWednesday and #WaterWednesday! ⚽🌊 Found the perfect natural rock window looking out at Gull Rocks. Honestly, I'm just glad to be hiding in the deep shade of this cave—this UK heatwave is no joke! ☀️🥵 #Cornwall #HeatwaveUK #EastCoastKin #Photography

A beautiful landscape photograph taken from inside a dark coastal cave, looking out towards Holywell Bay in Cornwall. The rugged, textured rock formations of the cave mouth perfectly frame the scene like a natural window. Outside, a wide expanse of golden sand transitions into the bright blue Atlantic Ocean. In the distance, the iconic twin peaks of Gull Rock sit prominently on the horizon under a pale blue sky streaked with soft white clouds and a single vapor trail. The image has a clean, wide white border.

Combining #WindowsOnWednesday & the #PaintByWords 'door' theme with some night-time ICM 🌙 I love how the subtle camera movement completely changes the energy of the quiet Padstow street. #ICM #AbstractArt #UrbanGaze #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBluesky #dailyart #ECK #ArtChallenge

An abstract nighttime photograph of a shop window utilizing ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) techniques. In the center is a white-framed glass door, flanked on both sides by large display windows that angle inward toward the entrance. Due to camera motion, bright neon and ambient street lights are stretched into fluid, wavy golden and white light trails that cascade horizontally across the dark glass. Faint, blurred reflections and text are visible on the window panes, all framed with a wide white border.

Making a start with #PaintByWords daily challenge #BlueSkyMonday with the incredible coastal views at Wheal Coates 💙 The contrast of the old engine house against that deep Atlantic blue never gets old. Does anything beat Cornwall on a clear, sunny day? 🌊 #Photography #Cornwall #EastCoastKin #ECK

A vibrant landscape photograph of the historic stone Towanroath Engine House at Wheal Coates, perched dramatically on a cliff edge in Cornwall. To the right, a massive expanse of the Atlantic Ocean displays stunning gradients of deep blue and bright turquoise water with white waves rolling onto a wide, sandy beach below. The sky above is a rich blue with scattered, fluffy white clouds. The entire image has a clean, wide white border.

A new view of a familiar shore for #Stunday Tried some ICM to focus purely on light & colour. It feels so free to chase textures over technical perfection sometimes. Do you ever try abstract photography? 📸 #ICM #LandscapePhotography #AbstractArt #ICMphotography #EastCoastKin #Cornwall #Sunsets

A landscape photograph of a coastal sunset rendered in an abstract ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) style. The image is composed of tight horizontal streaks of color. The upper half is defined by vivid deep blue sky and clouds blending into a striking band of golden orange and pink sunset light on the horizon. The lower half features structured horizontal bands of blurred waves and shore reflection in muted blues and warm sand tones. The whole scene is framed with a wide white border.

Stepping into the magical St Nectan's Glen for #WaterfallWednesday 🌿 There is something so unique about watching the river burst right through the natural rock hole. A hidden Cornish gem. Has anyone got a favourite waterfall spot? #Photography #EastCoastKin #WaterWednesday #PhotographersOfBluesky

A long-exposure vertical photograph of the spectacular waterfall at St Nectan's Glen, Cornwall. The water cascades down a dark, mossy rock face in a secluded slate gorge. In the center, the waterfall flows directly through a large, smooth, natural circular hole eroded into a massive rock shelf, creating a silky white curtain of water that empties into a shallow pool at the bottom. Lush green ferns and moss blanket the surrounding wet stone walls.

Stripping away the modern world at Charlestown harbor 🖤 The textures of the old stone walls and the sunken wreck look so dramatic in black and white. Feels like a window into the 19th century. #MonochromeMonday #photography #Cornwall #EastCoastKin #mono #BlueSkyArtShow #BlackandWhite

A dramatic black and white photograph of the historic stone harbor at Charlestown, Cornwall. In the immediate foreground, a weathered, decaying wooden boat hull sits partially submerged in the calm water, its reflection perfectly mirrored below. Further back in the harbor, a large, historic wooden masted tall ship is docked alongside the high stone quay walls. A row of traditional white-walled cottages lines the top of the quay under a cloudy, atmospheric sky.

A vibrant carpet of fallen petals was quite a sight on a walk at Pendarves Wood for #ForestFriday and #FlowerFriday 🌸 Walking under these bowing rhododendron trees felt like stepping into a hidden world! #Photography #Cornwall #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography #Woodlands #Bloomscrolling

A landscape photograph of a sun-dappled woodland path covered in a dense carpet of vibrant pink rhododendron petals. Large, mature rhododendron trees with twisted, mossy branches lean over the trail from both sides, creating a natural tunnel. Some bright pink flowers still bloom on the branches to the right. Sunlight filters through the green canopy, illuminating parts of the path and the surrounding lush green foliage.

Stepped back in time at Charlestown! The Nao Santa María (Columbus flagship replica) looks unreal against the old harbour walls under these moody skies Do you prefer historic tall ships or modern boats for photography? #Charlestown #Cornwall #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyArtShow #LandscapePhotography #ECK

A wide-angle landscape photograph of the historic stone harbor at Charlestown, Cornwall. The Nao Santa María, a large wooden replica of Christopher Columbus's 15th-century sailing ship, is docked in the center, alongside other traditional boats. In the background, a dramatic, deep blue storm cloud looms heavy over the open sea. The calm harbor water reflects the ships, while stone buildings and people walking along the harbor quays frame the scene on both sides.

The village of Calstock with its impressive viaduct connecting us to Devonshire. Visit on an early morning when the fog gently rises off the Tamar, it's a gorgeous sight! #Cornwall #photoraphy #EastCoastKin #landscapes #outdoors
