Walking on the clifftops with, at most on the stretch of coast I am on most often, two to four people passing per hour, there is that safe feeling of having some relatively wide open space to yourself, which is of course a very valuable and reassuring sense of security currently. But looking out to… Continue reading A Bit of Space
Like a lot of you during the Covid pandemic I expect, I've limited myself to extremely local environs (my garden, about mile or so of lanes either way from my house) for just under a quarter of a year now. Sounds a long time put like that doesn't it? So far, Cornwall has actually been… Continue reading Some Confidence
https://35hunter.blog/2019/11/10/how-we-photograph-is-how-we-live-2/ The above link is for an article posted by Dan James on his excellent, and often thought provoking blog, 35Hunter. In brief, he muses on the possibility that the way people generally approach their everyday life life echoes in the way that they practise their photography. He ends, as he does on every post,… Continue reading Winging It
Hello, I thought I'd better post something new here, just to show I hadn't abandoned being the photographer called Bear R Humphreys. Life is generally good but I have had a string of MS-based fatigue relapses over the new year season that have kept me from really getting enthusiastic about anything at all really.I have… Continue reading Still here…
Is anyone tired of abstract sea and waves pictures yet? A slight difference in this one. With my sweeping panning movement I seem to have more or less matched the speed of the nearest waves, thereby keeping them relatively sharp compared with the rest of the scene. This has given me an effect that I… Continue reading Sharp & Incoming at Crackington
The only time I can be on the beach at Crackington Haven during the summer is on a Sunday morning when the weekly beach clean takes place. A dog ban during the high tourist season means that I can't walk Gwynnik along the shore there during the week now, so my wife and I take… Continue reading A beach morning
Looking south from the cliffs of the Strangles, you can see successive headlands all the way down the coast, most of which seem to have a small rocky island sitting slightly offshore and out among the waves. At the base of the Strangles cliffs you can see a formation called the Northern Door, the height… Continue reading Northern Door, The Strangles
This is looking south on Widemouth's long beach. The wind was fairly fierce, whipping up the sea spray off the tops of the waves and leaving it hanging in the air. As you walked you could feel the damp on your face and taste the tangy moisture. The pebbles on the beach were coated with… Continue reading My domain
I have started to make some prints available to purchase now at Society6. There are many options of sizes and frames available, as well as unframed prints. I have heard good things from local artists who sell using the site so I am confident it will do a great job. Although priced in US dollars and… Continue reading Print news
