One from yesterday, after a 2 year hunt for the elusive and well camouflaged reptiles, these were totally wild, both females, note how they've flattened themselves out to maximise the suns rays to warm up and the adder to the left, the eye has gone opaque as she's getting ready to slough ( pronounced sluffing ) which is when they shed their skins.







They were approx 2ft and 18" long respectively and fairly timid, just moving the monopod an inch or 2 made enough of a vibration on the ground for them to go into hiding in the undergrowth, but 5 mins later, they were both out again.

Weekend Bump. Open to reasonable offers

Hi Gareth,

Yes, 5 decent wacks with a wammer, I then decided to drive to Glos on the M4 at 50mph, not my best idea, phoned the misses and got the postcode for Kwik Fit in Newport only you find all their systems were down and cash only accepted.

In the end went to ATS, who repaired the tyre for £20 instead of a replacement for £75

Got back 12:30.

Thank you for waiting and you assistance.

Back to photography, our images are very similar and in the processing as well 😊

Hi Gareth

Thanks for meeting up this morning, very much worthwhile, the light was superb, the chat over coffee was excellent, despite the flat tyre on exit, I've only kept one and its this one, would have preferred access to the pier, but the sunrise was to early

The best sellers were images that were of typical cornish villages where the viewpoint was even just a little off the tourist route, or where the weather was rough and stormy, or something unusual was captured.

I had a 26 image exhibition in a cornish hotel dining room that I stayed at every 6 weeks on business for a week at a time, so replacing the images sold was fairly easy.

Online will be harder as there's loads of togs doing the same thing, and you will have to really stand out to be noticed and sort your SEO and keywording superbly well.

I run my own website site and put the web site address on all images that go public to drive as much traffic to the site as poss.

Exhibitions in Hotel dining rooms have worked for me in the past, I've found images need to be local to the hotel and of spots not immediately on the tourist trail, but still recognisable spots.

Just one more, mono this time

Morning Steve

Firstly, than you for the Charter last night, had a great evening and the chance to get shots not normally available.
