Lundy Island in the fog

This is a very small island near Devon in the UK.

It was a ~2 hour boat trip by fishing trawler to get there, and it was foggy and cloudy pretty much the whole time Laughing I didn't take a crop factor camera (or so I thought) as I didn't think I would be shooting wildlife, but luckily I remembered about "Car cam", which is the Canon EOS 20D I keep in my glove box Laughing

What a great series. Lundy was always a name to conjure with during those exotic "marine forecasts" I used to listen to on steam radio.

What a marvellous set of shots. 3 and 8 do it best for me. I never realised they had a church there!

Some excellent photos there Graham. I was on a shortlist for the position of island maintenance guy about 10yrs ago, I missed out because my experience with electrical work was limited. Looks like a really nice place, pity I missed it.

Thanks Graham, I've sat and looked at Lundy for many hours from the mainland and always wondered what was there. It was usually rainy or foggy, so nothing new there. Smile Those Vario-Sonnars look great!

I like them all, but the last sheep shot in particular. I just wish the one on the middle wasn't there as it lets it down a bit.

Thankyou everyone, I wasn't expecting many comments to be honest because of the poor light, but it's a fabulous place to visit Smile

Indeed, I spent quite a bit of time on the previous day listening to forecasts, hoping it would be sunny! But the skipper only wanted to go over once that week, so we were stuck with the day we chose Laughing

Yes, the church is lovely actually, really quite big! I'll add a photo of the inside in a mo.

Such a shame, but...there really isn't much there so it may have been a blessing in disguise! Plenty of maintenance needed at all times, but not much else to do other than visit the only pub on the island, where mobile phones and ipads are banned Laughing

Thanks Martin, that's an interesting comment about the last shot as I chose it for that very reason Laughing I liked the fact that he was looking in the wrong direction, a bit like those '90s band shots where the guitarist would be looking the wrong way Laughing Laughing

Here's the inside of the church, a bit wonky as I was racing to get back to the boat Laughing
