Cat on My Balcony
I was playing piano yesterday afternoon, in front of my balcony window, and spotted an unexpected listener on the balcony. I’ve occasionally seen cats wandering across the (1st floor) balcony, but not taking a nap...
Read MoreGrantchester Meadows at Dawn
For the third time in one week, I found myself heading to the meadows at sunrise to get some photos. This dawn was much damper than the previous week’s, so the damselflies weren’t quite as forthcoming, but I did find one particularly friendly model who posed very patiently for lots of photos and macro video. Dew rising from the meadows at dawn I love the striking...

Maybe it was getting up at 4:30am two days ago to take photos of damselflies in Grantchester Meadows, but my body clock’s a bit messed up.

I didn’t find as many this time, but got some artier photos of the beautiful...

Sunrise over the River...

Read MorePortrait with new flashgun
I bought a flashgun, the excellent Canon 430EX Speedlite, to help with my portrait and wedding photography. I’m photographing a wedding this weekend, and from past weddings I’ve photographed know that it will be very useful for formal photographs in sunlight, and for the after-dinner party. To make sure I know how to use it on the day, I took a couple of photos of some...

In the style of my Colour & Form compositions, I decided to collect the best frog photos from Costa Rica, and show them in one image. This image has proven very popular, both with wildlife enthusiasts, and lovers of cute critters.
