Yarmouth Gaffers Festival

This weekend is the annual Yarmouth Gaffers Festival, Isle of Wight. It is an event that celebrates the Gaffer boats and is enjoyed by all. There are lots of events including street entertainers, samba bands, shanty singers, steel drums and lots more!

There are also food stands and craft stalls. The stall that stood out for me was that of a photographer called Steve Gascoigne with the company Available Light Photography. All his photographs are taken on the Isle of Wight and are absolutely stunning. Here is a link to the website.

During the weekend I have been working in the local delicatessen, but during my lunch breaks I have been going out to look around. When walking along the Quay I found the view of all the flags on the yachts amazing and just had to take a photograph!

Welcome

Welcome to the new blog of Snapping Rosie. I am Rosie Wibberley, a keen photographer residing on the Isle of Wight. I am currently studying for a BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design, but my main interest is photography. My interest developed throughout my A-Level Photography course and I now maintain this as a hobby and business. I love the way you can capture memories as eternal images.
My other hobbies include canoeing, taking walks along the beautiful local beaches, reading, beading and other crafts, volunteer work and paragliding. As a family we moved to the Isle of Wight in 1997 and I am still enjoying all the island has to offer.
Throughout my blog I will be talking about various photographs that I have taken over the past years, I would like to welcome you into my artistic world and enjoy the images I can show you. There will be competitions and fun along the way with regular updates on my daily life as well as new collections available to buy.
I do have a website that will showcase the photographs available for purchase, the site will have full instructions on how to buy any photograph. Please take a look at www.freewebs.com/snappingrosie.
