New Year’s Message

Hello readers of this blog:

This is going to be the last post of 2017, and I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year 2018.

There are going to be some changes to Jack Fawsitt Photography in the New Year, but I will be announcing these changes in a future post to this blog.

Happy New Year from me at Jack Fawsitt Photography!

The all new Photos tab

This is a quick announcement to let you know that the new Photos tab is now live.

Essentially what I have done is moved all of the pages from Articles and placed them into the Photos tab.

In regards to the Articles tab, I will now release new articles in addition to my photo blogs. The first one is about a recent trip to a fast food restaurant in the US called Wendy's, and can be found here.

I'm creating some new articles soon

Hello readers of this blog,

You may have noticed that there has been little activity in the Articles section of the blog. Well this will be changing in the near future since I will be adding new articles soon, such as South Beach in November 2017, amongst others.

UPDATE: I have also edited the favicon of the blog.

I've changed the layout again

Hello readers of Jack Fawsitt Photography:

As of November 11, 2017; I have redesigned the blog again with a new look that is optimised for mobile devices and tablets. I have also altered my Instagram again by deleting bad posts and uploading new posts to replace them.

I'm changing my Instagram

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't posted anything on my blog since Hurricane Irma came through.

It has been over 2 weeks since Hurricane Irma hit Florida, and apart from some tree damage, everything is back to normal now, that is until the next hurricane comes.

Anyway, as you can probably see by the title, I'm changing my Instagram around a bit. You may notice soon that some of the photos on IG: jackfawsittphotography have been removed. This is not Instagram's fault. I was the person that removed the photos due to them not matching the style of my Instagram.

I am also cancelling the meme page at IG: jackfawsittmemes. The account is now known as IG: jackfsflo, and will contain pictures of my time in Florida.

Sorry for any inconvenience with this post, I just wanted to update you's about what I'm doing to my Instagram accounts.

I now have a Hurricane Irma page

This is a quick update to let you know that I now have a page on this blog to keep track of Hurricane Irma as it approaches Florida.

EDIT: As a result, I will no longer be posting about Hurricane Irma on the blog section, only on the Hurricane Irma page.

The link to the page is here

Hurricane Irma update

This is a quick update to let you know about Hurricane Irma since in my last blog post I mentioned that this hurrricane may be headed towards the general direction of Florida and especially Miami.

As of 6 September 2017 at 11:00 EDT, the track of Hurricane Irma is headed either head on for Miami or tracking up alongside the coast of Miami and possibly hitting Freeport in The Bahamas. The intensity and severity of the storm for Miami will depend on what track it takes, but worst case scenario: Miami could receive rain of 25cm (10 inches) and peak winds of 300 km/h (185 mph). 

Therefore if I am not active on Jack Fawsitt Photography for a few days, this is why.

I am reaching out to the people affected by both this storm as well as Hurricane Harvey that hit Texas a couple of weeks ago. I hope for the very best that Irma does not impact Miami harshly, but if it does, I am fully prepared for the circumstances that may arise from Irma.

Could Hurricane Irma hit Miami?

There is a looming threat for the Caribbean this week in the name of Hurricane Irma.

This has been a hurricane for a few days now and the path of the storm is constantly changing. As of this post on Monday at 4PM EDT, the path of the storm is expected to continue to track West towards the Leeward Islands, US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and then impact The Bahamas and Cuba. Afterwards, the storm is expected to make a sharp turn to the North and possibly impact Miami and South Florida before continuing into the United States, weakening rapidly.

The main questions to answer about Hurricane Irma's impact are: 'Is Hurricane Irma going to hit Miami?' and if it does: 'How damaging would the impact be?'.

For the first question, the majority of models at the moment do indeed suggest that the hurricane will indeed hit in or near South Florida, although some suggest that Cuba or The Bahamas would bear the brunt of the storm. Alternatively, some models suggest the hurricane may harmlessly drift out to sea, not affecting the East Coast of the USA. 

For intensity, we will need to see where the storm tracks. Currently, if the storm continues on its present track, then the storm would first make landfall in Northern Cuba, where a mountain range lies. Consequently, the hope is that the storm weakens enough so that the impact on Miami is more limited than the Category 4 storm that it is expected to become by this weekend. However, there is still a chance that Hurricane Irma could strengthen further near the Caribbean where the water temperature is 31C (89F), and this could possibly mean that Miami may be in the firing line of a Category 5 super-storm.

So, could Hurricane Irma hit Miami? It is too early to tell.

I think I may have captured a rare cloud on camera?

Hello everyone reading this blog, I just wanted to say that the last time I posted anything was about 5 weeks ago, and in that time, many things have happened which meant this blog had to sit in the back seat, but I want to welcome you back to the blog.

A few days ago, I think I may have captured a rare cloud on camera. South Florida had a thunderstorm that originated from a tropical wave that is still sitting over the Florida peninsula at the time of writing this post. I then took these pictures of what I think is a rare cloud called a roll cloud:

I am not a meteorologist nor cloud expert, so I would like to know if these were actually roll clouds or some other type of more common cloud.

Anyway, in other news, I have changed my Instagram name from 'realjackfawsitt' to 'jackfawsittphotography' to better reflect what I now do on both this blog and Instagram.

I also celebrated my A-Level results last weekend, by going to an American restaurant (well it was actually Texan) called Texas Roadhouse which was a good experience, especially the free bread and peanuts provided to you at the start of the meal!

Wednesday and Working

If you have not seen the title, today is Wednesday 26 July 2017, and I am busy working on the Jack Fawsitt Photography website.

To be honest, not much has occurred on the blog, but I had an eventful beginning of the week on my YouTube Channel.

I received a notification on my phone earlier in the week, saying that one of my videos had a copyright claim on it. To be fair, the claim did not affect the standing of my channel, nor did the claim block the video from being seen on YouTube. However, it did block embedding of the video, which meant that in the situation, I was unable to embed the video onto Jack Fawsitt Photography. To solve the issue, I removed the offending song and now the video has the copyright claim removed from it, although the video is now complete silence. Amazingly enough, it took the video almost 2 years to receive the copyright claim from upload.

Anyway apart from that, I would like to announce something fun. Since I am currently in the United States of America, I thought I would compare life in the UK to the US. So in the following survey, you will be able to decide whether I do special posts illustrating the differences between the British and American ways of life.

In addition, I now have a new article available for viewing, about another trip to Matheson Hammock Park last weekend.

Thunder and lightning

This is just a quick bonus post for Jack Fawsitt Photography, since this post is too short to have its own article.

On 17 July 2017, I took this photograph of a looming thunderstorm, which is typical in South Florida during the summertime:

Basically, the point of the photo was that after a quick shopping trip at our local shopping centre, we then decided to go to our local supermarket to get some bread, since we ran out of bread in the house. Prior to entering the supermarket though, the weather was turning nasty and so I snapped this image.

Amazingly enough, as we was walking home from the supermarket to go home, a massive bolt of lightning occurred that must have lasted for at least 2 or 3 seconds!

Even more amazing, is it I am writing this post during a thunderstorm right now.

I'm back to posting

Sorry for the considerable absence from Jack Fawsitt Photography, but I am now back to developing this blog.

The reason why I was unable to develop this blog in the past was because I am still getting used to Miami and the surrounding area, in terms of both the geography and the culture of the city. Overall I am having a brilliant experience in Miami now that I am used to the culture and geography of the city.

That being said, there are many more different things to see within Miami, and when I do get to see them, they will each have their own article on this blog.

The new photos tab

Welcome back to the Jack Fawsitt Photography photo blog.

This is an announcement to say that the new Photos tab is now available. This is where you will be able to see some of the photos that I take during several trips that I undertake.

For now, the only post to this blog is a trip to Matheson Hammock Park in Miami, FL, USA. But over time, the blog will develop more significantly.

Jack Fawsitt Photography is coming soon

This is an update to let you know that I am currently in the process of developing this photo blog and therefore the blog will be incomplete for several days or weeks to come.
