Photos of Cornwall: Dan Pattison

This month’s featured photographer is Dan Pattison….

View Dans photography website , Instagram and Youtube Channel for more beautiful photos and videos of Cornwall

Tell us a bit about yourself. How long have you been a photographer? Is it your full time job?

Photography has always been a strong interest i’ve held from when i was younger. I had always been interested in pursuing a career in the Navy so photography had always been a hobby/interest on the side. Just over a year ago i moved down to Cornwall to RNAS Culdrose near the Lizard, thats where i fell in love with Cornwall’s scenery !

Do your photos have a focus?

My work has never had a particular focus, i started out with shooting aviation themed images but gradually started to experiment with landscapes to widen my audience. Aerial photography has been a recent addition to my portfolio with images captured from a drone.

What equipment do you use?

I use a NIKON DSLR with a 18-105mm lens and a 70-200mm telephoto lens. I also use a DJI Phantom 4 drone.

What is your favourite place in Cornwall?

This is a tricky one , there are so many stunning locations in Cornwall but my favourite place has to be Padstow and the North Cornwall Coastline.

Do you have a favourite photo of Cornwall that you’ve taken?

My favourite image taken of Cornwall has to be a recent drone image taken from 400ft above Kynance Cove. (below)

Sunrise or sunset?

Any funny / horror stories from your photo expeditions?

Luckily I’ve not got any horror story to tell, but my weirdest moment was during a drone flight, discovering that Pedn Vounder beach is actually an unofficial nude beach ! I’ll say no more on that matter….

Where are you headed next to shoot?

As Cornish people will know, the weather can be very unpredictable so in terms of choosing a location i just take every day as it comes !

Are your photos available to buy?

As it stands my images are not available to buy at this time, but this is something i am working on. So stay tuned for updates!

Sunset in Cornwall – Holywell Bay Beach, Newquay

sunset time-lapse Holywell Bay beach, Newquay Cornwall

We may be a little biased, but in our mind there’s no better place to watch a sunset than on a Cornish beach with the sand between your toes, the fresh sea breeze on your face and the soothing sounds of the waves lapping against the shore.

To show you just how magical they are, we recently took a trip to Holywell Bay beach, located just outside of Newquay and filmed the sunset. We clambered up the huge sand dunes to get the best view, put down a blanket and watched as the sky glowed pink and the sun dipped below the horizon, gull rock beautifully silhouetted to its side. They say the best things in life are free, and a sunset in Cornwall is certainly one of them 🙂 if you’re on holiday in Cornwall, make sure you take the time to see one!

A big tip for sunsetters…
Cornwall has lots of microclimates. If the weather is cloudy inland it doesn’t necessarily mean its cloudy on the coast and visa-versa, so before you set off check out our live beach webcams page, which will give you a great indication of what the weather is like on the coast!

Kynance Cove is one of Cornwall’s most iconic locations, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. It’s dramatic towering rock stacks, soft white sand and turquoise water make it one of the most unique and magical places on earth.

Like most people, we’ve only ever seen Kynance Cove from above the water so we were amazed when we watched this video filmed from below the water…turns out it’s just as beautiful!

The video features freedivers Georgina Miller, Bart Lubecki and Daan Verhoeven of Aquacity Freediving exploring the underwater gullies of Kynance Cove, uncovering a beautiful underwater world…Sit back and enjoy 🙂
