Last weekend I spent four days on the lovely Pembrokeshire coastline with my camera. I was extremely lucky, as it was the best weekend weather-wise for a while to come (and I have the peeling forehead to prove it!). It was a part of the UK that I’d never been to, and my main reason …
Well, this post is rather late, and not on a Monday either! Doing what feels like two jobs certainly isn’t easy, and I haven’t had a proper sit down yet with all my photos, but I thought I’d share my experience with you lovely people anyway. Two weekends ago two friends and I embarked on …
I only got my driver’s license just before turning 25. This is not because I was intentionally avoiding it I just never needed it travelling around, living in big cities. But as I started taking wildlife photography more and more seriously, I felt it was detrimental to my opportunities to go out and find some … Continue reading »

I’m not a great ornithologist.

But for me to want to spend a while watching them … Continue reading »
This week we had some pretty crazy weather over on this side of the Atlantic, with some beautiful, clear days that quickly transformed into overcast skies with rain clouds, and even snow in some parts (being in Bristol, I managed to escape that trap – I even slept with my window open!). So I took … Continue reading »
It’s nearly spring and at work my nose is being rubbed in it. Cherry blossom season is THE spectacle of spring in Japan, and it’s something extraordinary – blankets of white (or light pink) as far as the eye can see, surrounding traditional Japanese castles and wooden houses. This year winter seems to be dragging … Continue reading »
