What a fantastic way to end the year! The first week of December saw my mousing fox images appearing heavily in the National and International Press and even a brief appearance on UK television. At the height of which I was getting texts, tweets and Facebook messages coming in all over the place from people [...]
I’ve seen plenty of sunsets in my time, but never before have I been INSIDE one! Being at over 3,000 feet and having stunning orange and red clouds all around me at my level, and so close I could walk in to them, that’s exactly what it felt like taking this three shot panoramic from [...]
I’m amazed. I loved my D3, I really did, but the D3s just raises the bar so much higher. ISO 4000 with no noise reduction and no real noise is phenomenal. It doesn’t matter how much you read about the D3s high ISO, once you experience it for yourself it just seems to defy belief! [...]

After spending a week on the island of Texel, Holland, in the fog and rain both myself and friend, fellow photographer Rene De Heer had all but given up hope of getting anything out of the ordinary. We had even at one point considered coming home early and cancelling the [...]
Soft hues in the sky, the golden rays of sunset hitting the rocks and nothing but a vast expanse of water between you, the Outer Hebrides and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. I’ve got to admit, standing high a top the cliffs looking out over Neist Point at sunset is one of those experiences I’ll never [...]
