Hurricane Burtha\u00a0hit the UK over the weekend of 10th August 2014<\/h2>\n

Hurricane Burtha<\/strong> hit the UK and I was working. The call went out from the picture desk to get ‘Weather’ pictures. Great was my first thought, here we go again!<\/p>\n

I happened to be covering the Ashford and Folkestone<\/strong> area for KMG so headed towards the coast to see what was happening and was would make a good frame. I must admit what I found was a little surprising to me. Surfing in Folkestone! (apparently not that unusual by all accounts) At this point I feel I ought to point out that I am from Devon originally and spent a fair amount of my formative years surfing on the North coast. Moreover I have never turned my lens towards surfing and I felt it worthy as a nice spin on what would undoubtedly be a plethora of flood and downed tree images. We will see when the papers hit the shops if my alternative ‘spin’ idea was picked up on or not.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed it for the brief time I was actually shooting for. If you want to see how it should be done however you need to check out the work of Alex Williams<\/a><\/strong> who has been traveling the world for the last 20 plus years capturing stunning surfing imagary.<\/p>\n
