Hot Chocolate

Sunrise at 38,000ft

This is the first of my images from Tenerife, and we start, ironically, at the end. As we flew home, on an early flight, we caught a lovely sunset out of the window of the plane. 1/100sec, f/4, ISO...

Quick Sunset

One reoccurring motif that’s happened quite a bit over the last couple of months is things taking place outside my window whilst I’m working on this blog. Back in May I had a visit from Dave the Angry...

Bike in the Bushes

Whilst running around herding kittens the other day, I came across a bike locked to the fence alongside my flat. I’d forgotten it was there, to be honest. Some time ago I had attempted to shoot a HDR...

By the Railway

I’ve always loved the view from the window of a train. I love the fact that the sights you get are ones you don’t get anywhere else; the backs of people’s gardens, the view from the railway bridge, the...

The End of Xmas

It has been a Christmas tradition for me for almost every year since I got my first DSLR to take a photograph on the theme of The End of Xmas. I can’t say I’ve been particularly experimental on the...
