What an amazing photo

I'm delighted to reveal I've been named the The South West Coast Path Photographer of the Year!

This was the winning image from over 1,500 entries, taken during Storm Ciaran at Lyme Regis Cobb last November. I still can't believe the winds were calm enough to fly a drone that weighs just 249 grams, while the waves were so impressive.

I went down with the intention of taking photos from the beach and it never crossed my mind I’d be able to fly a drone, until I stepped out the car.

Take a look at the photo in the comments to see how this scene looks on a calm day!

The image will be on display as part of the exhibition at London Paddington from 3rd to 30th July!

Thank you to the judges for their comments below and choosing me as the winner

“A well-deserved overall winner with such a strong image. The contrast between the dark sky and the white water breaking over the Cobb in Lyme Regis. The vulnerability of the buildings makes one realise the power of the sea. Strong images make you want to immerse yourself in the visual experience they create. This is one such excellent image and a deserved overall winner. Bravo!”

Trevor Burrows, Photographer

“The winning photograph impresses both in its beauty and in it its message. It clearly shows the force of nature, with the Cobb being blanketed by the white, churning sea. In contrast, dark and heavy clouds pass by, allowing only little light to come through, and reminding us of looming danger ahead. The South West Coast Path is unique but also vulnerable, especially to extreme weather conditions, which we have particularly experienced in the past 12 months. This image is an excellent example of how powerful photography can be in letting us stop in our tracks and raising awareness for what is happening now.”

And thank you to Luxury Coastal Holidays and Great Western Railway. for the prizes. I think a trip to Cornwall and train tickets to see the exhibition are in order!

The other photo from this set with the waves crashing, is the cover photo of my 2025 Lyme Regis Calendar, which I printed to sell in Lyme Regis shops, but I have also made this available on my website - https://www.jamesloveridgephotography.co.uk/product/2025-lyme-regis-calendar/

Always interesting

Our AGM is being held on Tuesday, 5th December – but don't worry, it won't last too long! We will also be having some festive mince pies with our tea, followed by a fascinating talk on "Art with Purpose" to be given by Devon-based sculptor, Martin Staniforth.

Martin is a sculptor and his creative practice focuses on emergence, regeneration and natural progression, drawing influences from nature and mankind’s experience of nature. As a co-founder of Laughing Phoenix, a consultancy that helps organisations with their ‘Purposeful Positioning’, he has facilitated the global Dove Self-Esteem Project since 2003, creating a range of body confidence resources for teachers, youth leaders, parents and young people. He has also facilitated workshops with community groups including:

• school children (encouraging young people to be proud of their uniqueness)
• refugee children (devising and running open air painting workshops in the park)
• victims of domestic abuse (creating a safe space to allow freedom of creative expression)
• those living with brain injury
• SouthBank Centre, London (exploring what it is to “Be A Man”)

He is curious about mankind’s impact on the world and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

Do come and join us from 2pm to 4pm on Tuesday, 5th December, at Woodmead Halls, Hill Road, Lyme Regis.

Yay! I am a superhost! We opened up our home, Mirador, in May to Airbnb. We never intended to! It was meant to be our special holiday home. Life and circumstances meant that we bought a family house in Lyme and fully moved here last summer. We now live 2 minutes from Mirador! While we decide what to do, I decided to holiday let Mirador! It’s a big risk- opening up the house you’ve lovingly created from the shell it was. Buying the best we could afford to finish and decorate it… then handing it over to strangers!
We have been so lucky. Our guests have been wonderful. My manic cleaning and preparation has paid off but mostly I’m assisted by the glorious views and the quirky beautiful house which make Mirador a 5 star stay!
I was made superhost on Airbnb because Mirador is a superstay!
