Stock Taking – May 2025
This is a bit of a “what’s in your bag?” blog post, though it might be better described as a “what’s all that stuff on your passenger seat?” blog post … Read more →

January Summary
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
Q4 Round-Up
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
And The Living Is Easy
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
Spring Watch
Toying with street photography
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 →
Going Trans Genre
Low’ring skies
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 →
STALLED
Sporadicity
My photography of late has really been hit and miss. The weather in latter half of the year has been abysmal and my broken 24-120mm walkabout lens really has impacted my output to a devastating extent. The flexibility that this range affords is critical to my general photography and without it, it seems that … Read more →
Augusted
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 →
QUIET
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
Not a Fab Feb
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
