Photography Blog
Photo Diaries, News and Reviews
Alongside making images, I have written a number of blogs about the process of photography. In many cases, my blogs are a visual diary of my journey in photography; maybe it’s a record of a particular trip or morning out with the camera or an update on what I’ve been up to. It also extends to include technical articles and reviews, all of which I hope you find useful in some way.

A MORNING ON RAMAMERE HEATH
A walk through Ramamere Heath in Rushmere Nature Reserve during the rain and mist on a Sunday morning.
2019 REVIEW
A review of 2019 and my favourite landscape and nature images, and a look ahead to what's in store for 2020.
RETURNING TO BOLEHILL QUARRY
The third visit to Bolehill Quarry in 12 months, and a different set of images to previous visits.
CINESTILL 800T IN NORTHERN FINLAND
On a recent trip to Northern Finland, I decided to shoot a roll of 35mm Cinestill 800T. Although the film is tungsten balanced, I decided against using a warming filter because I thought the films white balance would complement the snow and blue skies.
A WINTERS MORNING
Millbrook plantation is a small area of mixed woodland on the sides of two small hills just outside Ampthill, Bedfordshire. This small series of images were all taken within a 2 hour explore during some wonderful winter weather.
