Carnival 2023

Reading Time: 2 minutesOnce again, it’s Carnival time. I’ve posted shots from this even each year for some time now, and it’s quite hard to think of exciting and edifying things to say after a while. It’s always an exciting event, though quite busy. This years event was

Reading Time: 2 minutesSomething I do not do enough at the moment is just grab my camera and wander out to somewhere often very close and take some shots. I did this the other day, just up to the Grove Lane Pond right near my house, trying to

Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeny Spiders!

Reading Time: 2 minutesI found the strangest thing the other day. I’d noticed a wierd sort of egg sac on the window, which I assumed (rightly) was spider eggs, but got the shock of my life when looking at it and it suddenly exploded into motion – obviously

Reading Time: 2 minutesI went for a little walk up in the woodland of Meanwood park the other day, and decided to limit myself to my Canon 1000D and a simple 50mm prime lens. I did a few portraits of my family, but also had a little play

Hallowe’en in Space

Reading Time: 2 minutesFor one of the regular nights I shoot at, Remedy, Hallowe’en is the big one where they pull out all the stops to create a crazy and over the top event. I produced nearly 150 images from this event – this is just a small
