Most (if not all) of these have already been shared on flickr but I wanted to share them here as well because Suffolk is one of those places in the UK that are quite often overlooked. It really is SO EASY to get great shots if you take your time. We spent a week here …
I always like a challenge and one of the ones I like to tackle is looking out of a dark space towards bright light. Often I might use a pair (or more) shots to merge into an HDR image, but another approach might be to use Exposure Lock on the shadow areas and work on …
A selection of images taken in the Physic Garden in Cowbridge using my 90mm F2.8 Macro lens (hand held) with varying settings that you can see by clicking on an image in the carousel.
This must be one of the most photographed lighthouses in the UK. I must have shots from at least three visits to it. So, the challenge was to try and find a different view or perspective to take it from, and make use of the early afternoon May light. The tide was out revealing rock …
First, an apology. A bit of a glitch with the images for the previous post (and others on the site). Hopefully resolved. Not much to add to these images from last year. It’s been great to see these “little critters” on our patio. Although I have a wildlife camera, these were taken with the Sony …

I really like Sudbrook (where the pumping station for the Severn Rail Tunnel resides – and where there’s a splendid little museum that documents the story of it being constructed against all the odds) and Black Rock (where the original crossing for railways by ferry across the Severn was located) and where these shots were …
[Click on an image to scroll through them in full screen and see the EXIF data as well.] When prompted, I usually say … “I don’t do people”. Well, that’s not strictly true as the shots above will suggest. It’s true I don’t feel comfortable about asking people if I can take their photograph, that’s …
There was something about this view that somehow made me think “there’s an image there, if only I can find it”. So in post-processing I did just that, I cropped it, and enhanced the sky a little and got the image I wanted. I published it to Flickr … However, I got the comment that …
Volunteering to do a short spot on focus stacking at a u3a afternoon Photography session yesterday, I showed the following sequence of pictures of some orchids using a tripod and a macro lens … [Please note I didn’t edit the images prior to applying the software which I should have done. I could have removed …
