Welcome to my website!

I started rebuilding this site at the end of 2024 with a view to giving myself a platform to showcase my photography and to share details of my journey. On this page, below my favourite shot from last month, you will find links to galleries of from the last few photo shoots I've been on. The full set is gradually collated on my Galleries page. I've just added a photography diary which will offer details of what I've been doing, what I've learnt and the techniques that I have tested. I'm very much looking forward to sharing my journey with you.

'Blue Tit'
OM System OM-1 M.40-150mm F2.8 + MC-2.0 @ 300mm, 1/1000s @ f/5.6, ISO 4000, RAW
(denoised in DxO PureRAW 4 & developed in ACDSee Ultimate 2025)
This gorgeous blue tit was captured on a trip to Lackford Lakes. I tried out a new camera preset - a collection of settings provided by a professional wildlife photographer - and was very pleased with the results. I took around 400 photos that day - of course, I had the camera set to sequential shooting (burst mode) and had to stand for a long time waiting for the birds to come along, but the waiting paid off. I love the fact that the blue tit is looking back over its shoulder at me with a rather quizzical stare. Its plumage is really clear in this shot, as is its ring. It's a very relaxing business and you can lose hours at it if you're not careful! To view a larger version of the image, click on it to open up a lightbox.

A very wet day on Dunwich Heath! This was a full-day workshop with Phil Morley and despite the rain, was well worth it.
