[Click on an image to scroll through them in full screen and see the EXIF data as well.] It was a lovely clear evening and I thought it was about time I shot the Esplanade (the sea front) at Penarth, with it’s wonderfully restored pier. Unfortunately, just as I setup with the tripod to catch […]

[Click on an image to scroll through them in full screen and see the EXIF data as well.] Another week, another holiday! The relief of the end of lockdown and we made it to Llŷn for a week holiday at Nefyn. A few half-decent shots, but more important than that was having a break from

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 could have removed
That was the challenge set to the u3a afternoon Photography Group. I wasn’t sure I was going to meet the deadline to submit some shots, but did manage a trip down The Bay – just-in-time. The featured image (above) has nothing to do with foregrounds, but everything to do with clever perspective and creativity. There’s

A double dose of moonshots this spring and the chance to improve on the Snow Moon shots I took earlier in the year – and this time from the relative comfort of the loft. I took the opportunity the night before of using TPE (The Photographers Ephemeris) to see where and when the moon would
