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 [...]
Lets face it, if you had the chance to see some wild Pine Martens, you’d be more than happy to get up at 530am and drive for two hours along Yellowstone’s frozen valleys in sub zero temperatures to a location that has, in the past, been used by the BBC Planet Earth team, to photograph [...]
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 [...]
I’ve had very little time for photography recently, and the reason is simple: I’ve been working all hours under the sun as I have a trip to Hawaii and San Francisco coming up at the end of September ahead of my winter Yellowstone trip in Jan 2011. Not only am I looking forward to this [...]
EDIT: The bags are almost packed and the time is nearly here. Since I originally posted this the time has flown by and in just a few short weeks I’ll be surrounded by snow and wildlife! I know it’s a bit of a way off yet but just had confirmation through for a photo trip [...]

One species I had not seen before, but knew could be found in Florida, is the Burrowing Owl. So I decided to spend some time photographing them at a couple of locations in the sunshine state…as well as recording my first ‘On Location’ video to give you an idea of the conditions I experienced, and [...]
The Miami skyline is truly spectacular and watching it come alive as day turns in to night is certainly an experience…as was shooting from one of the two locations I’m going to talk about here. But it was well worth it to finally get a better version of this beautiful skyline than the grab shot [...]
