The Beach Huts at Hengistbury Head, Dorset. Once again, the month has flown by at pace and it’s time for my photography blog! They say life begins at 40. This month I reached that ‘big’ milestone, and it’s been a fantastic month for photography. It’s been a year since I purchased my Nikon Z50 II, and the last 12 months have definitely been a journey of learning and discovery as I get to grips with a whole new language! Exploring the Coast This month I started my Coastline Ph

Henley Brewery in Henley-on-Thames "I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes"; no it's not 'love' that's been all around me this February - it's water. According to the Royal Meteorological Society ; winter rainfall up to 26th February 2026 has been 9% above the long-term average across the UK! It's no wonder that this month has been a tricky one for photography - I've hardly been out with the camera at all, not wanting to risk damage to the lens or the body. Fortunatel

Hockley Railway Viaduct in Winchester I'm writing my January blog on the last day of the month. When I started this blog last year, I published my previous month's write-up at the start of the following month. I aim to keep things flexible, but for 2026 I thought it would make more sense to publish my write-up on the last day of the month - or at least close to it. This month, most of my photography outings have been local to home - a reflection on the fairly wet and cold mon

The view from the top of Old Winchester Hill, Hampshire. December is one of my least favourite months of the year for photography; it is difficult to get out and about with the camera. The weather here in the UK can be unpredictable and there is no guarantee that the limited daylight available will supply sufficient opportunity to take photos. The beginning of December 2025 was no different - we had rain almost every day for the first fortnight - in fact I managed only one ph

A picture of Ullswater from my first trip to the Lake District in November 2009. Something has always drawn me to water. Lakes, rivers, waterfalls, canals, and coastlines - all of it. I always feel that when water is in the scene there is something special about landscape photography. There is also something mystical/ spiritual about water that I can never put my finger on. In November, I was lucky to revisit one of the best spots in England for the theme of water photography

Bright berries set against the autumn leaves; practicing some close up photography. I won't be the first or the last photographer to write about the Autumn (or the fall to my non-UK friends); but I couldn't resist the topic for my November blog. Autumn is my possibly my favourite season of the year; even though it leads directly into Winter - my least favourite. I love the reds, oranges, browns and purples that start to decorate the landscape and make for beautiful photograph

An expansive panoramic view of the Kielder Forrest. My October photography blog is about something I did in September; but as I usually...

I think I have always preferred to be behind the camera rather than in-front of it. Looking back at photos from my childhood photo albums...

A visit to Avebury Stones in Wiltshire is always something special. The site has stood for over 4,000 years and comprises of two stone...
