Dorset 2023
2023 was mostly taken up with a trip to Cornwall, and another venture into the New Forest, but that doesn't mean I didn't take my camera round a few spots in Dorset. Eype beach Eype beach sits just outside of the town of Bridport. Its a

New Forest 2023
After heading to the New Forest for the first time last year with Mark Bauer, I decided to come back again for another day on my own to see how I fared, and hopefully get some shots we were unable to before. Mogshade Hill I was going to follow an
Cornwall 2023
In August me and a bunch of my family headed down to Cornwall for a week in Sennan near Lands End. There was a great selection of locations nearby, so without further ado... Botallack Mine The tin mines at Botallack were closed down in the late 1800s , but the remains
Dorset 2022
2022 had a lot more photography in it for me than the past few years. With a little bit of travelling and a little bit of just forcing myself to go out a bit more. I don't think I'll ever be someone who is out every
New Forest with Mark Bauer
In early autumn I went on a one to one workshop with pro landscape photographer Mark Bauer, to the New Forest, just over the border in Hampshire. Autumn is the ideal time for most photographers to wander into the woods, and with the New Forest pretty much on my doorstep
Norway 2022
In August 2022 I enjoyed a cruise around Norway. Whilst cruises aren't exactly known for being great photographically, with the limited shore time and mass of other tourists around you, with a bit of planning it can work. Back in 2017 I did pretty much the same cruise
A (mostly) Dorset 2021
2021 was another year where I mostly stuck to Dorset, but at least was a bit more active. With the spectre of Covid still looming, foreign trips were a big hell no from me, but I did get away to Cornwall and shot a few classic Dorset landmarks. Abbotsbury First
2020 in review (or what there was of it...)
This was truly the year that never was. In fact, I only ventured out with the camera once, in September, to nearby Portland Bill, specifically to photograph Pulpit Rock, a stack that was once an arch before quarrying left it standing alone, with the iconic slab leaning up against it,
2019 and a little bit of 2018
2019 didn't contain a huge amount of photography for me, so lets start with a smidge of 2018, with a quick trip to the Isle of Wight. Isle of Wight This was mostly a holiday, but that didn't mean I couldn't get a quick
Cornwall and a bit of Dorset
The latest of my trips with veteran photographer and workshop leader Tom Mackie was to Cornwall. Cornwall sits in the far South West and is two counties away from my home of Dorset, so is pretty much just down the road. It is known for its rugged coastline and balmy
Outer Hebrides - Scotland
I recently went on a photo trip with two friends from previous trips around the islands of Harris, Lewis and Uist. My aim was to capture the diversity and beauty of the landscapes and learn more with an intensive two weeks of photographing with two great photographers. I was joined
Norway Cruise 2017
Recently I went on a cruise to Norway for my brothers wedding. If you’re gonna get married, that’s a pretty decent way to do it. Naturally my camera came with me. We visited four ports, Stavanger, Olden, Andalsnes and Bergen, and each one had a very unique feel
