What is Plan B?
The best-laid plans can go awry. It happens to all of us from time to time. You set off to go somewhere, maybe an hour’s drive away, may be further afield for a photo shoot. It may be a place you’ve been to before and you have some particular images in mind to re-shoot or […]
Taking Chances
Do chances come your way? When was the last time you had a chance to take an unusual image and you missed it? Do you recognize chance, photographically speaking? Most of us like to exist in our comfort zones in many walks of life – we are risk averse. Risk is dangerous – things can […]
What’s the Story?
It is said that the camera never lies. In fact it can tell a cruel version of the truth all too clearly – think of all those images you will have seen of politicians, celebrities or other prominent people papped at their worst: asleep inappropriately, yawning, having a bad hair day, eating a bacon sandwich […]
A Valuable Archive
I must start with an apology as it is now a few weeks since I last wrote an entry on this blog. The truth is that I have been acquiring new images at a frantic pace, and that makes the title of this post particularly relevant. Every time you go out and capture a few […]

Gossamer Threads
Here’s something you don’t see very often, if at all. Gossamer threads at ground level. This image was taken on our short walk on the South Downs as seen in the previous post – click here to view. My wife … Continue reading
Squirrel Nutkin
Sometimes you have to hunt for the images, and other times they come to you. This one came to me – in anticipation of being offered something to eat. This image was taken in the churchyard in the centre of … Continue reading
Observation Post
Two weeks in a mountain village like Zermatt is an opportunity for daily walking, but I always spend the occasional hour or two within the village on the look-out for something a little different. I spotted this cat on an … Continue reading
Sea Gull
If you live not too far from the sea, then you will be familiar with the cry of the Sea Gull and used to seeing them soaring and wheeling through the air or sitting on roof tops. And, of course, … Continue reading
Waiting Patiently
I pass this spot every day on my way into the shop where I buy the daily newspaper and quite often there is a dog tethered to the wall waiting patiently for its owner to reappear. I couldn’t resist a shot … Continue reading
Your lunch is at risk
Seagulls are predators and thieves. There was a time when a day at the seaside involved sitting outside enjoying the sun, quietly minding one’s own business, and enjoying an ice cream or fish and chips. Not any longer. Seaside towns … Continue reading
On Guard
We’re looking after Bert, our daughter’s dog, for the weekend. He’s now in charge! We are followed everywhere, monitored and watched over. And this is his preferred look-out point. Watching the world go by intently.
Do I look happy?
Am I happy? Do I look happy? I’m about as happy as Eeyore on one of his bad days and that is very, very not-happy. So, looking cheerful today is quite impossible. How would you like it if someone grabbed … Continue reading
Grey Heron
If you want to photograph wild life you will know that you need to move quietly; and that is often best achieved when you are on your own with no one to chatter to. Yesterday I dropped the car off … Continue reading
A sheep with pink ears
Sheep are curious creatures. Walking past a field of sheep, they will line up along the fence and stare. Approach them and they will stay put, until you breach their comfort zone and then they will beat a hasty retreat. … Continue reading
