Just a few minutes before taking this image I was on the busy and almost claustrophobic streets of mid-town Manhattan, with car horns beeping, crowds of people everywhere and huge skyscrapers all around blocking out the sky as best they could. And then, after a very quick (and impressive) elevator ride I was high above [...]
Sitting on a Hawaiian island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, looking at the Milky Way clearly stretch out across the sky with the naked eye is an incredible, awe inspiring and humbling experience. But getting an image of it certainly proved tricky, despite having a D3s. ISO 102,000 certainly came in handy though [...]
If you’ve never been to Istanbul and heard the call to prayer that rings throughout the city five times a day, you must! It’s an amazing experience and so far removed from anything I am used to living in London, but something I very quickly grew to appreciate whilst there. So, I decided to take [...]
If you’re not familiar with timelapse photography, it traditionally involves either speeding up film footage or taking lots of photos…in this case, 2353 photos to be exact.

‘Discovery now flying at 6000 miles an hour, 62 miles altitude and 177 miles down range from the Kennedy Space Centre’…Nasa mission control, heard from a fellow spectators radio, just 3 minutes after taking the photo below. Sunday the 15th March 2009, and, at 7:43pm Discovery finally launched on the STS-119 mission after more than [...]
The sun has just set and I’m staring at the lights of Canary Wharf through the viewfinder of my D3, The Thames leading the way towards the bright lights of the city…what’s so special about that? Well on any other day, not much…but on this occasion I’m 1000ft in the air leaning out the side of a [...]
