Inching into the scene Having noted that I didn’t shoot much landscape in the last year, I determined to make more of an effort to break out of my wildlife rut and back into a less documentary and more creative genre. It turns out that’s not an easy thing for me to do. Perhaps, with … Read more January Summary
Picking up the pace Despite what I think has been probably some of the scrottiest weather over the last couple of months, where my photography has suffered a bit of a lack of attention, I’m still quite excited about a few of the photos I’ve managed to grab. I’ve also picked up some new (to … Read more Q4 Round-Up
Work gets in the way sometimes… Photographically speaking it’s been quite a quiet summer for me. I spent most of August working every day, and even worked 21 days consecutively. For a part time job, that’s a lot of hours out of my day when I would otherwise be out enjoying photography. Not complaining, though! … Read more And The Living Is Easy
As I wrote in a recent post, I’ve been trying to mix it up a little and move between photography genres. I have, and regularly use, three different cameras. They are fairly distinct in their purpose. I’m using my D800 with a 50mm lens mostly for street photography and a 14mm … Read more →
It’s been a challenging winter, here in the UK. The weather seems to me to have been the most miserable in living memory. We’ve seen a few cold spells but we’ve had little snow. Mostly there’s been rain. A LOT of rain, and when it hasn’t been raining there’s been an abundance of … Read more →
My photography of late has really been hit and miss.

The flexibility that this range affords is critical to my general photography and without it, it seems that … Read more →
The beginning of August was busy! Rather strangely, though, I don’t appear to have a lot of photos to show for it. Read more →
There are times in your life when things get you down and, no matter how hard you try, you can’t hide it. I think the beginning of this year has been a good example of this for me. Despite the warming temperatures and the longer days, and everything I’ve yearned for over the last six … Read more QUIET
Despite my January optimism, February has been quite a disappointment. Mostly the issue is timing, with sometimes a decent amount of sunshine during the week but then densely overcast skies at the weekends. It’s infuriating. It didn’t help that my car had something of a fit while we were visiting friends in Lincolnshire – enough … Read more Not a Fab Feb
Gimme a Break of Dawn It’s happening at last! The days are getting noticeably longer. It’s no longer nighttime when we arrive at work, nor when we leave at the end of the day. Granted it’s barely light – dawn and dusk – but it’s a start! It’s cold, though, and that’s still an issue. … Read more Daylight At Last – January Update
