LR-7867 - The boats are quite away off shore in Sandown bay, running a diagonal between Ventnor to the east of Bembridge ledge. A bit of juxtapositioning with the deck chairs and spinnakers might work for a shot. Stopped and had breakfast so there's quite a few candid's to come later.

Round the Island - Beached at Brook (II)
LR-7780 - Second shot from Brook, I liked the people but also liked the composition here. Short drive along the coast to Brook bay we'll be moving onto Ventnor after a drive along the MIlitary Road, past Blackgang, St Catherine's, Niton.

Round the Island - Warming up
LR-7773 - Short drive along the coast to Brook bay and found this pair on the beach warming, I did sort of suggest that the sun was running along that row of yachts at one point in the conversation. Will admit the blood drained appearance of both parties gave a little clue to how cold they were!

Around the island - No fence Friday
LR-7730 - Bit of ARt for Friday morning, taken on Afton down (location of the 60's/70's original Isle of Wight festivals), nice bit of wild garlic and some blue as it has been thundering and raining since 5 am this morning :( Strange how the forecasters said it was to be the hottest day this year!

Round the Island - Freshwater Lifeboat (FLB) returning from a shout (story below)
Round the Island - Freshwater Lifeboat (FLB) returning from a shout (story below), originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (just dreaming).
LR-7687 - Moving on from Fort Albert to the south side of the island into Freshwater Bay, taken during the J P Morgan round the Island race, originally I thought the crew were just coming backing from patrol, but they had been called out to assist someone.
I do not know all the detaIls and you will know as much as I do by looking at the images below.
If you feel like donating to the organisation or want to know about their work all funded by charity please visit the website
Freshwater Independent Lifeboat operates 2 boats 24/7 in an area up to 30M off shore from Hurst Point to St Catherine’s point on the Isle of Wight.
Entirely independent we rely on donations and fundraising by our volunteers to run this service.

Round the Island - X had the spot
LR-7471 - Yes a line of sailing boats is impressive in choppy sea with some great clouds, so here's a little twist on the same theme :)
Still at Fort Albert and shot though the pier cross members

Catching Spinnaker's
LR-7545 - another with a little bit of foreground interest, so many boats, so many photographers there must have been 40-50 photographers at this site, plus mobile camera's, ipads and anything else you can a picture with, in total there must be a photographer for every boat. Many with there camera's set on a tripod, operated by remote and clicking each time a different boat came into the frame.
Do It Daily @ Today's Posting
Use focus to narrate the image, DoF, blur, mid focus, distant focus and tell us how you did it #TP572
Rented a lens (70-200mm f2.8) for the weekend to see how I got on with it, planning to buy one in the near future, very pleased with the results considering many of the shots were taken the first time of use :)

Off to the English Channel
LR-7674 - Shot from behind as they leave the Solent and head in to the English channel and open water to France. Freshwater is the next stop on our trip after leaving Fort Albert.
There are a few hundred floating around on my cloud storage, but I'll try not to bore you with a barrage of yachts of all shapes and sizes and the occasional wind surfer.
