Last night was the final workshop session for 2024.
What should have been a dry evening in Norwich, ended up getting a fair amount of drizzle, this was perfect for getting the glow of the cities lights on the pavements ❤️📷

There are still plenty of opportunities to join me in 2025 if you fancy it

While digging through some old, unedited photos, I stumbled upon this one from Shingle Street in Suffolk, taken back in January.

I remember this shoot vividly. Life was incredibly hectic for me at the time, and things were about to take a turn for the worse the very next day. But, as photography often does, it became a source of solace over the following months, helping me navigate some challenging times. It’s remarkable how photography can provide an escape—whether it’s focusing on capturing the perfect shot or simply immersing yourself in the beauty of a location. It’s one of the many reasons I encourage people to get out there and embrace the moment when they can.

Before this shot, I’d been photographing the spit behind me for about 20 minutes as the colour began to fade. Then, I turned around, shuffled a little further along the shingle, and captured this image just as the last of the colour slipped away from the sky.

Afterwards, I returned to my original spot on the sloped bank of shingle, laid back, and just enjoyed the soothing sound of waves. I must have dozed off for a few moments, and when I woke, I noticed the faint clouds still lingering in the sky. Feeling refreshed, I made my way back to my van to begin the journey home.

Shingle Street is one of those places that always leaves me feeling rejuvenated. Between the scenic drive and the calming atmosphere, it’s a spot I believe everyone should visit a few times a year to truly appreciate its charm.

While exploring the North West of Scotland with my group, someone spotted a moss-covered bridge on Instagram that had no location attached to it and it looked too cool to pass up.
A few minutes later, we found it and stopped for photos. What a stunning spot! These spontaneous stops are my favourite part of trips here—it’s almost a game to see how far we get before pulling over again because there’s just so much to admire.

10 years ago today I was shooting these stunning radar dishes at RAF Stenigot on a very cold and windy morning

I have been making a few little changes to my website to hopefully make the user experience a little bit smoother, and later today I was going to start adding some of my newer work as it seems like it's another raining sideways kind of day here again

On a wet and windy day like today, it’s the perfect chance to catch up on some photo editing and admin—exciting times! 😍

This shot was taken at Loch Stack as we wrapped up at our first location of the day, which turned out to be another adventure-packed stop. The stunning loch, with its derelict boathouse, is framed by towering mountains on either side and offers a breathtaking view straight down the valley, with beautiful trees lining the banks. It’s a place I’m eager to explore further—every direction you look is pure magic.

Fingers crossed we’ll get to witness this magnificent spot at sunrise on our next trip in October 2026!

I can honestly say with the number of camera bags I have owned over the years that this one has been the most comfortable and easiest to pack all my gear in since I got it.
The bag in the photo is the f-stop Gear Tilopa 50 litre with the essentials bundle

And right now it has a whopping 20% off, so don't hang about if you want one, as the sale will soon be over.

I managed to get all my camera gear, vlogging gear, filters, drone, lunch, waterproofs and 1st aid kit in it and when on your back is as comfy as heck.
Absolutely love this bag and the colour is great too, it does come in green or black too.

Printing from Lightroom has come up in conversation 3 times in the past week. I am a massive creature of habit, but even though I have always been a big advocate for printing from Photoshop, I thought I would give it a go.
Like everything in life, it's all a process to refine, but I was fairly happy with the 1st result.

I printed the same image from Photoshop to compare as I knew exactly how that would behave.
Here is the Photoshop one, dark and moody just how I wanted it.

There is 1 space that just became available for the Long Exposure workshop that I am running at the very popular location of Happisburgh on the Norfolk coast this Satuarday if anybody fancies it.
This will be my last group workshop until February, so don't hang about if you want to join us

The long exposure sunset photography workshop is a 5-hour session that looks in-depth at how to use landscape filters for long exposures.

My latest vlog has also just gone live, this was shot about 6 weeks ago in the peak Peak District National Park area and we had so much fun this day and on this whole trip

In this vlog, I head over to Roaches End Barn to shoot this amazing location in the pea soup fog. This is the 2nd time I have photographed here and both time...

Another of the many drone photos that were shot whilst exploring the far north of Scotland last month.
This was a 6 shot pano was the only way to get so much into the shot and I just love the sense of space you get from this perspective, it's how I remember my summers as a teen exploring this area when hiking.

I can't wait to add these all to the website, but there is still plenty more to edit before that happens.

There is still a chance to join me next October for my next trip up here if you fancy it
