My local camera club has set a challenge to its members, and I’m tasked with scouring one of the area’s major pedestrian and leisure routes looking for photographs. My travels today took me alongside one of the canals in town. Having had a good look today, I can see why they’ve called it a ch...

Today we had a little barbecue, but it was old financial records we were cooking, not food. We’re having a bit of a clear-out at the moment, and this seemed the safest way of protecting our information. Plus, you know, it’s fun. It’s been posited that the reason men are so keen on watching ...

Today was the first of a few warm days we’re to expect, so I was on maintenance duty today. I love working on bikes. I’m rubbish when it comes to car maintenance, so it’s a pleasure to work on something when you can just look at it and see how it works. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 130m...

…or is. You can’t turn your back for a minute round here it seems. Amazingly, I would have expected this spade to get lifted. But apparently that would be too easy. They just took the shed from around it! Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 60mm; ISO 400; F/8; 1/320s. VC on.

The Aston Martin DB9 is one of my favourite cars of all time. It’s a beautiful piece of engineering, and I’m proud to say I own this one. Unfortunately, I’ve got no chance of driving it, seeing as it’s only a few inches long Still, a guy can dream. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 100mm; ISO...

With the first signs of warmer weather now starting to appear, I decided to photograph some of the local flora. There was a large clump of these snowdrops just by the road outside Wentworth, apparently in their prime. I’ve cross-processed this shot in Nik Effex 3.0, just to enhance the dream-l...

Today’s shot has pushed it, to say the least. I was (according to my camera’s built in distance monitor) 59.6 metres from this heron (about 180 feet). I’ve cropped as far as is possible before the pixels become obvious, and clicking on the image will take you to the 1000-pixel-wide version. Yo...

I spent several hours today trying out a rather advanced bit of folding, but the paper split in the final stages. So instead of seeing the completed model, I’m giving you another texture shot, with one of the interim stages. It looks like I’m going to have to invest in some bookbinding paper. ...

A simple shot from the banks of Bolton Ings. Sometimes you can’t let things get in the way of a good walk. Nikon D300; Tamron 18-270mm PZD @ 42mm; ISO 200; F/8; 1/800s. VC on.

This was part of my fiancee’s ensemble at her friend’s wedding a couple of years ago. This is exactly the kind of thing we are having to consider now, so it’s been brought out of storage for a closer inspection. I have to admit, for foam flowers they are very convincing. I’ve always liked thes...
