Sweden – Forests & Lakes
For the third summer in a row, I travelled to Sweden for an intensive dance workshop. Unfortunately, I sustained an injury in the fortnight before flying out that rendered me unable to take part. Not one to waste an opportunity (or a non-refundable flight), I hired a car and drove around the myriad forests and lakes in South-Eastern Sweden for 4 days. In addition to a dozen or so...
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...

Read MoreDamselflies at Dawn (II)
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. Went to bed at 2, still awake at 3, playing piano didn’t help, so at 4 I cycled to Fen Ditton meadows in search of more damselflies to photograph. I didn’t find as many this time, but got some artier photos of the beautiful...
Read MoreDamselflies at Dawn
4:30am, stirring after 2hrs sleep. Greg calls – “Want to come photograph damselflies?” Sure. Cycling to Grantchester meadows 5 mins later at sunrise. Wading through the nettles on the riverbank, start spotting lots of black wing-tips. Snap snap snap. As it warms up 3 hours later, dozens of damselflies fly around you as you stir the nettles. Sunrise over the River...

Read MorePhotoshoot with Rebecca (Meadows)
I’ve been taking advantage of the glorious weather, and have been doing more photoshoots with my muses (5 this week). This is my third photoshoot with Rebecca (see photos from the first photoshoot, and of her acting headshots). The meadows on Lammas Land and Castle Mound were covered in Cow Parsley, which made for similar photos to the first shoot, but pretty much every photo...
Read MoreRock'n'Roll – Sunset Silhouettes
A few hours after the orchard photoshoot with Sarah, and after a Rock’n'Roll practice, I invited a couple from the team back to mine for dinner. As we were walking up Castle Hill, I realised that the sun was about to set, we were right next to Castle Mound, and the couple were capable of doing some great acro. About a year ago, I started planning a set of photos of Cambridge...
Read MoreAn Insight Into Photostitching
The first step in creating a photostitch is to take the photographs. For this photostitch (The River Cam in the Mist at Magic Hour), I wanted to create as large an image as possible, so set my camera to maximum zoom – this would lead to more photographs being required to cover the subject matter. I then fixed the camera’s shutter speed, aperture, focus, and white...
