Photography at The View From The Shard
May 03, 2013

Leave a Comment
I wanted to go up The Shard since I first heard about it. Now it's finally open (well it opened a few weeks ago now), I took the opportunity to go up while sunset was a convenient time.
In the run-up to going, I was having a look around for other photos from the top, but to be honest there didn't seem to be many great photos out there. There are s...

I'm thrilled to say that Woburn Abbey are using one of my photos on the cover of their new 2013 visitor leaflet:
I was approached about this some weeks ago, and they're now in use:-)
I'm very happy to collaborate with Woburn in this way as it's my favourite local spot, and I've taken some of my best photos there. It's a great example of my work...

I've just updated the download method for my smartphone wallpapers.
Last year I made them free, and this year they're quicker and easier to download than ever.
Just click the "Download" link above a photo, and you should have your image within seconds:-)
I've also added a few new photos too, so it's worth having a look at the whole gallery here.

Lessons learnt from a visit to the Ansel Adams exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich
March 02, 2013

Since I heard last year that the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich were hosting an exhibition of Ansel Adams' photography, I had been meaning to pay a visit.
For those who don't know, Ansel Adams was a pioneering mid-century landscape photographer who more or less set the standard for modern landscape photography. His work is probably more inf...

Street and architectural Photography in York
February 07, 2013

I haven't done much city street photography, but as I said at the start of the year, I want to try to work on my landscape portfolio this year. So I took the opportunity of a short trip to York to get some wide-angle photos of three key subjects.
I planned my time, and arranged two hours coinciding with sunset, when I could visit all three locatio...

Deer Photography In Snowfall
January 30, 2013
•
Leave a Comment
I've photographed red deer in the snow before, but I've never been out with my camera as the snow is actually falling. Now, armed with a "weather-sealed" camera and lens combination, I took the opportunity to get some original photos of the Woburn deer in winter blizzard conditions.
It was a tough environment to work in. Minus degree temperatures,...

New for 2013 - Introducing Framed Prints
December 31, 2012
•
Leave a Comment
Up until now I've only offered standard prints on their own, meaning that you need to arrange the framing yourself. But for the new year, I'm introducing framed prints, available directly through my e-store, as an integrated printing option.
Framing Frames are supplied glazed with high quality perspex. This is the preferred choice for modern fra...

Looking forward to 2013 & more landscape photography

I recently wrote about my enjoyable 2012, and my favourite photos from the year.
This time I'm thinking ahead to what I'll be focussing on in 2013; both literally and figuratively.
The first thing is that I took a lot of photos this year. Around 10-12,000 at a rough estimate. And I think I want to take fewer next year. I want to be more targete...

2012 Photography Review
December 27, 2012

Leave a Comment
It's the time of year when everyone is writing reviews of the past 12 months. I've been particularly busy this year, so I thought why not take the opportunity to stop and recall just what I've spent my time doing.
The year began in early January - but it wasn't until February before I really got going.
A visit to the Raptor Foundation in Cambridg...

Wild Moose Encounter - Jasper National Park

This post is part of a series about our trip to British Columbia & Alberta, Canada.
I seriously didn't expect to see moose on our trip. I thought they were shy creatures. But we were very lucky, and we got to see some on a couple of occasions.
The first occasion was by the side of the road, as we travelled East down highway 24 from 100 Mile House...

This post is part of a series about our trip to British Columbia & Alberta, Canada.
I usually stick to wildlife and landscape photography, but I do try for some urban cityscapes on my travels too.
On this occasion, we were in the historic neighbourhood of Gastown, in downtown Vancouver. It's a really characterful area, with loads of period featur...

This post is part of a series about our trip to British Columbia & Alberta, Canada.
Canada has a lot to offer a photographer and wildlife enthusiast. But the biggest draw for me was to watch grizzly bears in the wild. To see them go about their day and share their time with you is hugely fulfilling and enjoyable, and it had been an ambition of m...

Landscape Photography in Jasper & Banff National Parks, Alberta, Canada.

This post is part of a series about our trip to British Columbia & Alberta, Canada.
I'm a pessimist, so lets start with the bad news:
There will never be a photo of the Canadian Rockies that comes close to doing the place justice.
This is just the reality of the matter. The sheer scale of the place simply can't be contained by any lens and sen...
