I recently had the opportunity to visit Scotland’s Temperate Rain Forest on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. This beautiful part of the world is home to some of the last remaining Temperate Rain Forest. Two of our friends; PJ and JJ retired to the peninsula a few years ago and invited us to stay for a holiday, […]
On Sunday I decided I had to break my period of inactivity and get out and take some photographic images of woodland. I had just read a magazine that listed some places to visit in the New Forest. I Had been to them all before but one, I had not visited for a very long […]
Well this is one of those years where the weather conspires against you. Working full time means I can usually only get out to take photos at the weekends or in the evenings (unless I am on holiday). So far this year most weekends have been disappointing an uninspiring. This is the basic wisdom behind […]
Today I wanted to get out and take some images as I have been “missing in action” for a few weeks. I decided to go to a nearby nature reserve called Kingley Vale. Kingley Vale is internationally renowned for its ancient Yew woodland. When I arrived, it was after dawn but the sun was only […]
Yesterday I visited Kimmeridge in Dorset with a couple of friends from our Facebook photowalking group. The tides were right but unfortunately the weather was dull and overcast.

According to the song, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. However, i think for photographers, Autumn is the most wonderful time. There is plenty of colour as nature prepares for winter, and when its not raining in the south of England, its a lovely time to walk in the woods and enjoy […]
This week, one of the photo groups I belong to decided to go across Portsmouth Harbour to Forton Lake in Gosport. There were a large number of vessels of various descriptions just pulled ashore and left to rot; a good recipe for some evocative images. I hope you like this small selection.
Last Sunday I decided to make the most of a beautiful day and went for a walk around Bosham to Bosham Hoe. It was glorious sunshine and this was a selection of my favourite view that day… Although these all show the same view and are all HDR, they have had slightly different post processing. One […]
I recently visited the Hard in Portsmouth after dark to try to get a different image of the warrior, I hope you like it… Hope you enjoy.
