The monument of Callanish stones in the Outer hebrides was modified over time but the ring of stones were erected 5000 years ago, 2000 years before Stonehenge. It was tricky deciding to go for a sunburst sunset shot or use the golden clouds as a backdrop, but the latter was my choice in the...

I had a 4 day trip staying on Skokholm last week. A wonderful seabird island. So many puffin portraits I don’t know which to post. These are downloaded onto my iPhone and cropped in Instagram except the last.and processed in Instagram.

Up very early yesterday morning doing a photoshoot of my botanically printed scarves with the beautiful model and dancer Bernadette Lemon. Exhibiting in my Open Studio in Cambridge, UK last 2 weekends of July. Images used for my website and other promotional avenues. Still not early enough at...

Shooting into the light gave me the simplicity of silhouettes of the tracery of the branches and the rooks. I used my images to create a single page bound book, see video below

The bluebell wood. I’m moving my photography to be felt in more tactile ways, experienced in reality and beyond the flat. Concertina book with a Poem by Emily Bronte. Please see the attached video

Snettisham RSPB reserve is a wonderful place on the English coast to see waders on the mud flats and in flight. I was up before dawn to drive to up to the reserve and watched the birds move off the mud flats as the tide went to its highest point.. Taken with my Canon 300mm with a 1.4x extension...

An early evening capture to make an image in a summer meadow while at a birthday party. It's a pity that we didn't have the girls in more whimsical outfits but I take my opportunities when I can.

Hi Folks, I am a big fan of using my portrait lens with extension tubes and enjoy crawling around in the grass using a very narrow slice of focus. This one is in the soft morning sunshine, I usually avoid the sunlight but I hope you get a real feel of the fresh winter sun here.

This weekend was one of the rare occasions when my home town of Cambridge had a dusting of snow. Of course I couldn't resist going to the 'backs' to make this image of Kings College.

Richly decorated with gold and bronze, the beech trees in Wandlebury wood are having a triumphal last hurrah before their winter dormancy. I love the cathedral arch of these beech trees, the canopy of leaves in summer is so thick that the woodland floor is dark and a bit claustrophobic. In...

Spent the last of the later afternoon light in Borrodale valley at the Gallery falls.

'The 'lakes' as they are usually known, is a mountainous region in the the north west of England, which is incredibly beautiful. Here is a beck from Aira falls and a view from Derwent Water. Both of these images made today on a lovely warm autumnal day. Both of these images are stitched panos in...

I arrived in the lake district (Cumbria, UK) yesterday and will be staying over a week to enjoy the Autumn colour. Here is a view over Derwent water.

Many British coastal towns have seaside bathing pools that are submerged twice daily by the sea's tide, providing a safe swimming space. Guernsey also has a hardened core of sea swimmers as well and I captured this group alighting off the bathing pool steps very early in the morning and swimming...

Here's a little piece I have just written for my blog, simplified a little for the non photographers. I was standing on the cliff edge near Land's End in December, looking out to the beautiful rock arch of Enys Dodnan. The granite rock was being beaten by the crashing waves created the high...

Soft light,the smell of damp leaves, dark puddles and the echo of breaking twigs and you know you are walking in the wood. The fungi are growing on the woodland floor amongst the leaf litter and on the moss covered woodpiles. Here is an image taken in the Felbrigg estate. I found myself...

An image maker should always try to return to the 'scene of the crime' or should I say 'the capture'. This means you can refine your approach and look for opportunities to perfect the image. I was visiting Shanghai on business and I went down to the waterfront in the mornings to make images of...

A very early morning in Cambridge, at Kings College 'backs'. it was just around dawn and in time to disturb the geese that were grazing on the lawns.
