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

Winter and shorter hours of daylight brings benefits, one is more time indoors to catch up on some long overdue processing, particularly B&W conversions. The three images in this post go back quite a few years, two of them to … Continue reading
I remember when…
“I like to come and sit here, on this bench, every now and then. The river Visp is only a few metres away and I find the sound of the water very calming. And it shuts out all the other … Continue reading
Beach
Calm turquoise water, silver sand, a few rocks. Where in the world is this? Answer: 7,000ft up in the Swiss Alps at the southern end of the Saas Valley. This is the Mattmark Reservoir. The colour of the water reminds … Continue reading
Hohsaas
Today we dropped down to Saas Grund and took the Cable Car up the opposite side of the Saas valley, first to Kreuzboden, and then on up to Hohsaas at just over 3100M. Do please click on these images, WordPress … Continue reading
The improbable ridge
Mountains attract drama. Mountains are also cloud magnets. The higher the mountain, the greater the drama. Click the image to see a larger and sharper version. This is the Almagellhorn (10,815ft) in the Saas Fee valley, Valais Alps, Switzerland. Not … Continue reading
The view from Almagelleralp
It’s mid June and so far we’ve had a mere handful of warm sunny days. In less than a week’s time it will be the longest day and then the evenings will draw in on the long descent into gloom … Continue reading
Snow Crossing
