Reading Time: 3 minutes It was pure chance that I noticed the predictions for the possible UK Wide Aurora the other week. I have had the Aurora-watch app on my phone for some time, but after not accessing it for a while (generally fed-up with possible sightings scuppered by …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Of course, I took the photos from Lincoln, to work from for some watercolours. All of these are from random phone pictures in the end. The end of the weekend we went down to look round the waterfront, as this is close to the station …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes There’s been some weather inspired colours creeping out this week. The spring sun, and sunsets, misty days and a cold. Also, a few new colours. After having had to purchase new laptops and spending about £26 Million in Lincoln, I feel skint. So only 3 …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes We went to Lincoln this weekend, so the week was quite oriented to that. VArious of the colours are quite random, though the end of the week is inspired by Cross Country Trains, Lincoln, and the blue hour (from when I photographed more trains at …
Reading Time: 7 minutes I’ve split up the material from our visit to Lincoln, so as to not create huge long posts. On Sunday, after a very nice breakfast, and being very sad to leave the hotel room, we head out to explore the Castle and the Cathedral. The …

Reading Time: 3 minutes So as you may have guessed, I do love a good sunset for photographic subject material. Earlier in the year I bought a couple of tinted grad filters from SRB, an engineering company who make a number of photographic products. Over this year I bought …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes We do love a good sunset here, and as we approach the turn of the year again, here’s just a few more that I have found lying about on the hard drives, in and amongst other sets this year.
Reading Time: 2 minutes I guess if there’s any theme to this it’s more of the idea of looking up at the sky, but really it’s just posting a few good images. I shot the cranes over town the other morning. I loved the way they fade into the …
Reading Time: 3 minutes We’ve had a bit of a cold snap. You could tell this was on the cards from Sunday night. When there’s ice and snow in the air, but no real clouds the sky above Hyde Park takes on this eerie orange glow from the reflected …
