Here's another example of why we should always carry our camera on airport runs! I drove through thick fog banks from melting snow on the way to Gatwick airport in England over Christmas, being on the motorway it was impossible to stop, so I changed my route home to...
Tex Box 1
Trio
Our country hut (or crib as they're called in southern New Zealand) is situated beside a river in the midst of farmland. We have sheep on one side and cows on the other so I have plenty of four legged models. These "models" were in a paddock up a hill just a short...
Sweet Peas
Don't sweet peas have the most wonderful fragrance? I wish I could share the scent with you all -as someone on flickr said at times like this we need a scratch and sniff computer screen! I have one of my neighbours to thank for these beauties, they grow in profusion...
Hoody that caused a rumpus!
I'm delighted to be able to share my latest image which caused one sad individual on Flickr to accuse me of copying his work! Its also in answer to Bobs question showing how we create fake mist with just our flypaper textures. My original goal was just to achieve a...
Water Meadows
Its a given isn't it, that if you take a trip without your camera, you'll see something so superbly photogenic that you'll bite yourself! Thus for me, (who's sick of biting himself!) I'll now do no laborious airport run without my camera. And here's an image to prove...
The Black Mill
How do you make a famous much photographed landmark look fresh? Simple - take a back shot! This huge black Beacon Mill in Rottingdean overlooks the English Channel, when it was built back in 1802, it defiantly faced France, the great Napoleonic foe! Here these black...
Belle Toute Lighthouse
On my recent visit to England I returned to an old haunt of mine, along the cliff edges of the Severn sisters. When I lived in London I'd often drive down to this place to get some fresh air and walk the dog. This 'Belle Toute' lighthouse was then on the top of the...
sunset through the pines
I've photographed this historic Roman ruin filled site many times, and I'm always captivated by its scenic treasures. Previously written about before in Pines in the Mist. Being a hill covered with these tall willowy umbrella pines, its often ravaged by the sudden...
Blue and White
You know that spring is well and truly here when the grape hyacinths or muscari are in flower. I photographed this bunch in my newly purchased "little white jug" bought especially (and cheaply too I must add) for photographic purposes, I was imagining a bunch of...
green pineapple
This week I started a new Photoshelter account and was searching for images to stock it with, when I came across this abandoned oldie from February. Coming from a batch of pears I'd shot, it had been rejected because it was a little over-textured. But by simply...
