Planning the first visit in 2016, the received wisdom was “you will want to go back!”. Too true. However, it was not to be as soon as wished, but we are there at last. The journey has been a long one spread over a couple of months. Leaving Tucson on the 15th March and arriving […]

Nearly every late spring and summer Icebergs calved from the Greenland Icecap head South in the currents down the East coast of Newfoundland. This was a major attraction for our visit to Newfoundland in Canada. My first encounter with icebergs happened a very long time ago, when I was 17 years old. I had been […]

Yes, I just love black and white. I started in photography with Kodak black and white 120 film in my Father’s box Brownie camera at the age of 10. More recently I enjoyed using the same film type in my Hasselblad cameras, now using my Nikons and the digital darkroom I still love the results! […]

I know that I blogged too little last year. With our adventure to Alaska and then through the Yokon, Northwest Territory, British Columbia and Alberta back South there really were too few bad weather days (yes a strange sort of complaint) in order to process images, update photography websites and blog! I also struggled with […]

We took the Wildlife excursion with Kenai Fjords Tours from Seward. it was 8.5 hours of pure delight. Captain Mark Lundstrom did an excellent job of getting us to the locations and providing insight on the birds, marine mammals, glaciation and volcanic activity.

In landscape photography nine times out of ten the skies really make the image. That is why most photographers hate bald skies (cloudless) because they are a boring sheet of blue. Recently when i was in Monument Valley, I would not shoot any landscapes because it was yet another day of bald sky and I […]

All good images have their anchor points which give you the context for the whole image. However, I am at the TICO Warbird Airshow, the air show flying hasn’t started yet, but there is a magnificent Florida Sky!

Black and White images are my absolute passion. Whenever I am out shooting I am always asking myself “is this a black ad white image?”. Of course in the (not so long ago for me) old days it was easy, thanks to Kodak’s TMAX 100. So when I encounter really stormy looking skies the answer […]

Often, as a child, airplanes were referred to as the “big silver bird”. This description was aimed at civilian commercial airliners rather than military ‘planes (the military always applied camouflage schemes to make their aircraft less visible to the enemy). However, recently, with the restoration of old warbirds (such as the P-51 Mustang, B17 Flying […]

This beautiful aircraft in polished metal finish just cries out to me BLACK & WHITE ! So here is the first crop (pun intended, although I don’t crop!) of the images for the T-6 Texan trainer. (Taken on an Air2Air workshop with Moose Peterson). Hope you enjoy!

I love to visit Monument Valley. Maybe it is the stillness and tranquility, or the spirits of Navajo souls, or the unspoilt natural form of the landscape, or the shape and characters of the Monuments themselves, or the Mesas – but here I feel at one with the landscape. I feel alive. I fell the […]
