It's been almost a year since I posted on this page LOL My humble little photography business sat alongside another and filled the gaps nicely. I pivoted three years ago into a different path and have been loving life. I have rested the camera, upskilled to match my path, and only now backing off the throttle to a point of actually having a little spare time (quickly filled with my 276 hobbies 🤣)

When I decided to shift path, I had a few photographers in mind who I could recommend to clients, ones that matched my ethos. One of those was Keith Broadbridge. I have known Keith for several years and always found him very genuine. This year, I have decided to also support him with surprise ticket purchases to a few of his workshops - I never told him HAHA. Last Sunday was his Industrial Wonderland Workshop at Tonsley. Not a style I usually go looking for, but I want to do more. I'm just posting some of my more unusual shots and edits here for now, ones I wouldn't normally share...Thanks, Keith! Rob and I had a great time and are already talking about the next workshop. It was nice to swing the camera outside my comfort zone again :)

My photography is now confined mostly to Light Painting & Long Exposure, landscapes and nature. I'm lucky to be working one-on-one with some newcomers and helping them develop their confidence behind the lens. It's a wonderful balance!

New bird for me! I spent a few days last weekend paddling around Loch Luna taking photos. This is a Sacred kingfisher, I think a younger fella. I spotted it sitting in full morning shade at the very last second... No time to change settings, let alone compose a shot 🤣🤣🤣

This edit is cropped heavily, and the exposure slider tortured, but this said, my entry level telephoto lens handled it surprisingly well. A little missed focus, but I'll claim it as a start...now to capture a better image 😁

While it was hot like an oven, sitting by the water is always cooler. What a wonderful few days away and a great way to recharge

This town will always be home. Growing up here gave me a strong sense of community and a foundation of giving back more than you receive—a lesson from my parents and those around us. It’s something you don’t fully appreciate until years later, but that childhood gave me a great start in life.

Yesterday, after several years, I returned for the day. With my Dad and my boys as passengers, it was a day full of stories, memories, and visits to old haunts.

Peterborough, you look amazing—a credit to everyone who has stepped up and given their time to make a difference. Volunteering is free, but its value is priceless. What it gives back to you isn’t written down—it’s something you carry with you forever.

Stretching the wings

This stunner allowed me to get pretty close :)

37 Degs and traversing a steep hill to take a few snaps, before sitting and soaking it all in. I could hear the faint curious chirps, and after a few minutes as I got back to my feet, take off.

It’s 1870. Imagine working long hours in a mine, chipping away by hand under the dim light of a single candle, and only getting paid for each bucket you fill. Compared to that, we’ve got it pretty easy these days.
