Adventures Of A Natural World Photographer Home Comforts
SO, I’M CURRENTLY SAT IN MY SKODA YETI, sheltering from rather inclement weather. It’s blowing a hoolie out there and I’m dodging yet another squally shower. I’m parked in a lay-by, overlooking the rugged Penwith coast in west Cornwall. From my vantage point, I can spot the remains of mineshafts and old engine houses dotted along the cliff tops – this is Poldark country. My only company is a Cornish pasty and my MacBook Pro. Things could be worse.
So why I am taking photos of Cornwall? No particular reason, actually. I’m not shooting for a commission or magazine today, just taking photos because I want to. I’ve lived in the county almost my entire life – one day, I might even be considered a local.
