I wanted to share something i'm very proud of with you all. Dorset Life magazine recently asked if they could do a feature on me........

Having gone through a few different ball heads in my time I had started to look for something new as my old battered Manfrotto was showing not only its age but also its limits in terms of performance and what I wanted from a ball head. I have always put and incredible amount of emphasis on the need to have a good stable support system underneath your camera set up ever since my early days when getting home with what I thought were fantastic photographs only to be bitterly dis

It's finally here, that wonderful time of year that photographers the world over look forward too. Why is autumn so special to a photographer ? Well, it brings so much with it, beautiful changing colours on the leaves of trees, unpredictable conditions, chances of mist, rainbows etc.... F16, ISO 50, 1/2 a second 24mm On the flip side autumn can be a total wash out and ruin all chances of decent images so it's a tricky time. For me however, with a bit of careful planning and a

Not a full blog post today but just a quick one to say whats going on with me as I've got lucky again this month. I was lucky enough to be asked by a company called Focus Clinics to submit an image for a competition they were running to provide an image for each county, and I was lucky enough to win the counties of Oxfordshire & my home county of Dorset. Now anyone who knows me knows how much I love Dorset and constantly sing its praises so to be asked to represent the county

Backpacks, lets face it they can be a bit of a minefield at the best of times. No one single backpack seems to accommodate all the features that I want and I have been through a fair few in my time. What do you really need out of a backpack ? Well, that could be a whole story in itself but for me there were a few factors that needed ticking and without them it just wouldn't do. I wanted to above all be able to carry my gear in a durable and robust backpack that was capable of

This week I thought I would do a review of a product that all landscape photographers should own, The polarising filter. So why should you own one of these ? What can they do to improve your photography ? Can you live without one ? All questions I hope to be able to answer and give you a bit of background into as well. What is a Polariser ? The basics of a polarising filter are pretty simple really, it’s a small filter that goes in front of the lens that when twisted will rem
