Some portraits of Francesca
As part of my drive towards getting some better content for this site which is hopefully undergoing a rebuild in the near future, I was lucky enough to be able to spend an afternoon taking portraits of the lovely Francesca. We had fun trying out different outfits (not...
My first trip to the British Wildlife Centre
Today we headed off to deepest darkest Surrey to visit The British Wildlife Centre - lots of wildlife, all of it British. Had a great time getting up close to lots of wonderful wildlife that you only see fleeting glimpses of in the real world - and that's if you are...
Oh deer
well it was another lovely day so we headed off to Knole in Sevenoaks to see the deer. They were a bit skittish and shy at first but eventually we found some that would let us get close enough to take some nice pics... We encountered one rather old and wise looking...
Off to Port Lympne for a day
I decided to skive off of work today and head down to Hythe once again, this time to visit Port Lympne Reserve with the girls. It was a very chilled day without the usual zoo crowds as all the children were at school and the adults were all at work (ha ha). The...
Someone’s lost their head in The Crypt at St Leonards Church
Today we visited the Crypt underneath St Leonards Church in Hythe where the bones from around 4,000 bodies are stacked and displayed on shelves. Possibly one of the strangest things I've seen in a church but definitely one of the coolest As well as the skulls there...
Dungeness revisited
The sun was beating down so we set of for a walk around Dungeness, well to be honest we fancied a meal at the Fish Shack - I had a mackerel and chorizo flatbread which was awesome. The sun was so bright that I was unable to open the lens right up for most of these...
Jam at the Farm 2016
Over the weekend we went off to Ashford where Jam at The Farm was being held at Martin Sims Guitar Workshop - a whole afternoon of local bands playing in order to raise funds for the Nordoff Robbins charity. There were loads of other people taking pics - almost as...
An afternoon by the sea
We spent a couple of days in Falmouth and made sure that we took some time to enjoy the perfect sunshine and sea, we took a walk around the town, went for a boat trip around the harbour and estuary and then watched the sun set whilst sitting on Gylly Beach
A few more small things
So I'm still practising shooting small things whenever I get the chance. Small flowers and bees on the lavender in the garden are an easy subject but very speedy (even though they don't look it) but I am getting better at shooting flies, these guys are standing on a...
Sissinghurst Gardens in Summer
Sissinghurst is in full bloom this Summer. We took a trip with the folks to check out the summer flowers and weren't disappointed. This first image is a panorama made up of three portrait shots giving a very wide angle effect.
Ramblin’ Man Fair 2016
We spent a couple of days in Mote Park, Maidstone at this year's Ramblin' Man Fair. The weather was perfect and the bands were superb. We had a brilliant time. I couldn't take my cameras so had to use a compact but as we were able to get so close to the artists, I was...
A Trip to see the sites in London
As we had Harriet back in the country we decided that we would take a trip to London and properly do the tourist thing - we had a blast and I found lots of things to take pics of.
