Room with a view...

Weymouth seafront really is a great spot for going for a stroll with the camera. It still holds an old school feel.

We love going out in the puddles after a little rainfall... Glorious age is being 3 when you enjoy most things in life.

I'm really enjoying shooting in colour at the moment. I have only shot black and white for a while now so it feels good to change it up for a bit.

Another one from Weymouth with the Helter Skelter taking centre stage.

I love the beach when it is almost deserted... So peaceful... Summer will soon be here and it will be covered with people.

A little walk along Weymouth seafront was lovely and allowed me to get some shots away.

In between eating ice cream and racing my three year old on her scooter I managed to actually get some images I liked.

I must be on the way to having a books worth of photos of this bench overlooking Chesil Beach.

Lovely little half hour spent at Portland Bill today. Wanted to switch over to colour for a bit. I never get bored of visiting here and feel so lucky that it's 5 mins drive away.

Interested to know which one folk prefer... I quite like the one on the left but know the fact the sea line isn't horizontal will drive some people mad... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I think they need maybe one more sign to make it clear...

I am finding it hard to squeeze time into getting much photography time at the moment... It can feel quite frustrating but that's life. Where I can though I take my camera in the hope I can muscle some shooting time.

I think you hit a key point here... I take photos because I enjoy the process and the joy of capturing a moment. Me not some robot. No long lasting joy will come of it

Managed to fire off this shot today which I'm pretty chuffed with... Lovely when you press the shutter and know you'll be happy with the image.
Nice to end the week finding 5 mins to shoot in between busy work week.

So lucky to have this on my doorstep in Portland.

The Ghost Tunnels as know by the locals are great for exploring... Even with a two year old ๐Ÿ˜

Today I picked this book up for the first time in ages... Love it more now I reckon and appreciate the images in there so much more having spent more time considering how I shoot.

For the first time in ages I really felt the need to shoot in colour...
The light was so beautiful last night so I managed to squeeze in a half hour walk to the sea and back with my two year old... Plus my camera ๐Ÿ“ธ Winner

I was stood in the queue waiting for a walnut and maple ice cream on Weymouth beach when I captured this little shot.
