Back to Falmouth for Harriet’s Graduation
We travelled down to Cornwall for one (potentially last) time to see Harriet's graduation ceremony at Truro Cathedral. It was a very grand affair with everyone dressed up and on their best behaviour - even me!
The Union Mill has its sails back
We returned from our trip to the west country to discover that at long last, Cranbrook's Union Mill has been re-fitted with new sails. I didn't need much persuading to walk down and grab a couple of shots! Let's hope they give the rest of the windmill a bit of a clean...
A few days in Hayle
We spent this year's 'friends holiday' in and around Hayle in Cornwall. The weather was not the best, it had been beautiful in the weeks preceding and was again lovely afterwards but we made the most of what we had and did a few nice walks. The highlight of the week...
St Mary’s Ruin
We went for a stroll around Pluckley, Little Chart and Egerton and found the ruin of St Mary's Church, hit by a Doodlebug toward the end of World War II. I spent a while strolling around the grounds taking a few shots and then tried some longer 15 second exposures....
Canon Eos M5 in low light at The Forum in Tunbridge Wells
On Wednesday night, yes a school night I know, I popped down to the Forum in Tunbridge Wells to go see a band called Vukovi who I had recently 'discovered' with my shiney new Canon Eos M5 in hand. Vukovi had support from two other bands, Inklings and Press to MECO....
Do you need some web-ready staff portraits?
I am hopeful that I have just added the last piece of kit (for now at any rate) that I need to get out and sell commercial portrait photography to whoever may need it - efficiently and effectively. Now, rather than spending time setting up large white backgrounds and...
What’s Whitstable all about then?
I've never, to the best of my knowledge, visited the beaches of north Kent. After a week of too much work on the allotment and plenty of desk action too, I desperately needed to get outside, so when the sun started to shine on Sunday, it was a bit of a no-brainer to...
a bit of low key yoga
I wanted to try out some low key photography and Francesca was kind enough to let me use her as a model and use her kitchen as a studio, with a big black background I was hoping to get some very low key images, I think I got some of the way towards the image I had in...
Photography day at The Big Cat Sanctuary
So, wind back to my birthday in October last year and Becky decided that it would be a good idea to round up members of the family who were willing and, as a group, get me a voucher to attend a one day photography workshop at the WHF Big Cat Sanctuary in Smarden. I...
Bluebells
So it's that time of year again, the bluebells are out! This year we went for a walk in King's Wood near Challock and it would appear that we were about a week too early. It looked like most of the bluebells were on the verge of something great. Never the less, we got...
An evening walk at Bodiam Castle
I have decided to regularly enter the WexMondays competition on Twitter as a way to force myself to get out and take images more regularly. To that end I dragged the family off to Bodiam in search of a sunset that never really materialised. I did however manage to get...
Cherry blossom
The cherry blossom was in full effect in our back garden and although the sun was shining on the tree, the sky was a dark grey behind, showing off the colours rather nicely. As I was wandering around, our garden robin decided to try and give me a telling off so he got...
