A view of The Seven Sisters
Spring was doing it's thing and the sky was perfectly blue as we set off to take a shot that I knew existed, viewing The Seven Sisters from Hope Gap near Cuckmere Haven. As we set off on the short walk from the car park to the beech, young lambs bounded about in the...
We want More 2012
Even though my trusty sat nav and I were by all accounts thoroughly lost and confused by the road works and one way streets of deepest darkest Gravesend, The NWOBHM band More 2012 were shooting a video for their latest single at the Leo's Red Lion and I had...
A week spent looking at St Michaels Mount
We spent a week at Long Rock near Marazion in a lovely house overlooking St Michaels Mount and Mounts Bay. Although the weather was not perfect, we still had plenty of beautiful moments to admire and the rain held off. St Michaels Mount seems to be one of those places...
Mining Cornwall for pictures
The weather was beautiful in-land but a persistent sea mist cloaked the coastal areas, so as we set off for a coastal walk around Levant and Botallack, I was a little concerned that nice images might not come my way. However as we neared each view it seemed that the...
Starling Murmuration in Brighton
We ventured out for a day visiting Brighton as we hadn't been there in quite a while. My intention was however to witness and photograph the starling murmuration at the old pier in Brighton. It had been an on-going joke that we were only likely to see a couple of...
Revisiting Tunbridge Wells
We decided to explore Tunbridge Wells and were quite surprised when we discovered some great little paths and lanes that, even though I had lived within a half mile of, I'd never been down. We started our circuit at Wellington Rocks on Tunbridge Wells Common then...
A quick trip along Hastings sea front
I have started to think that Hastings has become our 'go-to' venue for a quick walk when we feel we've been stuck indoors for too long and just need to get out. I should probably make an effort to visit hastings when the sun is out and it looks like a bright fun place...
It’s foggy outside, so grab that camera
December had a fair bit of fog going on, however a foggy day doesn't mean that I leave my camera indoors - on the contrary, fog and mist add some instant atmosphere to photographs and you can get some pretty cool abstract shapes too. The overall light level can...
The Fallow Deer of Belton House in Autumn
We spent a morning wandering around Belton House near Grantham with the in-laws, soaking up the last of the autumn sunshine whilst admiring the beautiful colours of the foliage and of course, taking pics of some of the more photogenic members of the 300 strong herd of...
A little Autumn colour
This October has seen lots of lovely weather, warm days and plenty of sunshine. On Friday the sun was out in full and we enjoyed a walk around the grounds of Sissinghurst Castle and then on Sunday there was a very seasonal mist hanging over Angley woods for the best...
off we go to Richmond Park to see the Deer rutt
We set off at 05:30 to get to Richmond Park in London, before sunrise, the sky was clear, there was a light mist laying across the park and we could hear the deer bellowing in the trees. I was armed with my biggest lens and a grin to match as we set off into the...
The shooting of Martin Mickels
So this time it's the turn of Mr Martin Mickels to be the subject of my camera lens. Again, another easy subject for me to take shots of due to his strong sense of style coupled with the fact that he's done this all before. We tried a few different locations around...
