The last couple of years have been pretty crappy, so this is more or less the first photography I’ve done since COVID hit. But great to get out to our local bluebell woods (just a few minutes’ walk away) and play with my new macro lens. More from the shoot here.
Well, it’s that time of year again – Wildlife Photographer of the Year submissions are due. Happily we’ve been on another safari, this time to Zambia, and I’ve finally edited the photographs. Some highlights of our most recent two trips (Zambia and Tanzania) below, and you can see the full album for Zambia here.
Back from Africa again – this time in northern Tanzania to see Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Managed to catch the southern end of the Great Migration this time. Saw some fantastic wildebeest stampedes and had a lot of fun learning how to shoot moving subjects with really slow shutter speeds (some as low…
Another few photos to remind me that the best camera is the one you have with you at the time. At an old country house for a conference and managed to catch some shots of fallen maple leaves. Accidentally taking a frame while moving gave me an idea. All photos taken on my mobile with…
Back to New York again, but this time I remembered to bring a tripod for night photographs of the Manhattan skyline. And we had slightly longer to explore the city, so went up the Empire State Building and visited the Statue of Liberty. Side trip to Niagara – the falls are amazing, but the town…
So we’ve been back for some time, but it’s taken me this long to edit some photos. Thank heavens for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, there’s nothing quite like a deadline… So here are some photos from our recent trip to Kenya to see the Great Migration. All these shots are from the…
Ok, so I’m way behind on editing my photos. But at last I’ve got some done – these are from our trip to the USA in July. Lots of Manhattan skylines (don’t think I’ll ever get bored of that); some shots of the Space Shuttle Discovery, Enola Gay and an SR-71 Blackbird (probably the best…
One of our two Christmas charities this year (admittedly donating slightly late) – the AfriCat Namibia foundation, which we were able to visit in Namibia in 2015. And some photos of a cheetah and one of our excellent guide 🙂 http://www.africat.org/…http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/AfricatFoundation
Great day out at London Zoo on Sunday. Went to see the Sumatran tiger cubs and got lucky – they get very frisky after feeding. Possibly the very definition of a furball. But the yellow mongoose were an unexpected highlight. Real posers. But in a good way…
Staggered and honoured to win my category (At Home in their Habitat) in the Zoological Society of London Animal Photography Prize! Taken from an aeroplane, this image portrays the dependence on the environment of even the largest animal in Africa. The game trails show the passage of many animals, now absent, to what was once a large…
Back from a few glorious days in Venice. Really a paradise for urban photography, to the point you end up walking past scenes that would be a great shot in any other city. A few highlights below, or you can see the full gallery here for more photos.
Created a new AV sequence for the competition at my local photography club. Rather pleased to win against some stiff competition! And do go full screen for best quality, it’s good up to 1080p HD. Almost all of these photos are from our recent trip to Namibia and Botswana with the ever wonderful Safari Consultants. Comment below if…
Editing photos for competitions again. First deadline is Wildlife Photographer of the Year, on Thursday morning… would welcome thoughts on which of these are the best, and any further editing they need! It’s always a long shot, but always worth trying.
Well, as of last weekend, we’re back from our latest safari. Two countries (Namibia and Botswana), three weeks, three cameras, half a terabyte of memory cards and 11,000 photos later – I won’t say we were ready to come home, but we at least weren’t dragged kicking and screaming to the airport. The photos will…
A rather lovely day trip to Lavenham – an ancient little town with more timbered buildings than I think I’ve ever seen in one place. Well worth a visit. But bring your camera: I didn’t, and had to take these with my phone! Oh, and we like cornfields. Now using some of these as desktop…
