Storm Diana this month produced some incredible waves off the south coast. I went to Stair Hole, in Lulworth, Dorset to capture the sunrise and some rare waves crashing against the coast. Stair hole is an incredible place with incredible geology - the rock patterns are like nothing I’ve seen before!
