Misty Magic Hour
Seeing that it was still foggy at midday when I headed out for some Christmas Shopping, I took my camera with the intention of getting some photos of Cambridge in the mist. Sure enough, as I reached the peak of Garret Hostel Lane bridge, the following pictoresque sight awaited me; along with several other people taking photos. This first photo is my favourite – it’s a...

Walking across Parker’s Piece, the gym next to Kelsey Kerridge was lit by the setting sun, with the moon rising just behind it.
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...
Read MoreSweden
I travelled to Sweden for a few days to attend a Rock’n'Roll Dance Camp/Workshop. We didn’t see much of Sweden, as the CURnR team members were there primarily to receive world-class training, but the 90 minute drive to Stockholm airport provided some beautiful scenery. Our trainers, Wim & Griet from Belgium, showed why they were at the top of the World Championship...

I’m finally getting round to adding a few more collections of photos in the Projects section of my website. The first one shows various sunsets that I have photographed over the last few years, in places including France, South Africa, and Cambridge. I’ve created a quick collage of the best photographs below, and you can view the originals in my collection of sunset...

Read MoreLandscape fading into the sunset
Another clear and mild day in Cambridge, so I took my camera out to capture some of magic hour. This time, I wandered around the St. John’s backs briefly, before heading up to my favourite haunt, Castle Mound, to watch the sun set. These next two photos were taken 4 minutes apart, and are quite similar to a stunning mountainscape I took in Edinburgh. I love photos...
Read MoreCambridge Sunset Panorama
I took a panoramic view of a stunning sunset back in November 2005, viewed from Castle Mound in Cambridge. Lord knows why I waited a year to stitch together the photos. I only stiched about 340 degrees of the view, so don’t have a full wrap-around, but there were 40 photos, resulting in an output file weighing in at a hefty 108 megapixels. I’ve cropped it down to 70...
Read MoreThe Cape's East Coast and Penguins!!!
Our priority over the next few days was to climb Table Mountain, which was very weather-dependent (the wind had become rather over-powering as of today). Also, we wanted to climb Table Mountain with the yet-to-arrive Canadian, Glen. He didn’t show up at the airport when his flight came in, and there was no record of his having checked in at London either! With some of...
Read MoreSunset Photos
There have been lots of gorgeous sunsets recently, almost every day. I’ve photographed one or two, but am struggling to find a good location near me. My usual spot, Castle Mound, has some cranes which happen to lie between the mound and the sunset, but it did make for an interesting...
