New Years Day, a lost key, post wedding drinks and too many vodka cranberries
Jan 2nd
Talk about going into 2010 with a bang, I started this year off in the most random of situations. Let’s just say someone lost the keys to his hired car, but against the odds he still finds them and we still make it in time for dinner!!
If you ever make it down to the South West coast of Wales to a small town called Tenby, then watch out for the locals, they know how to party!
Ben Nevis. 2006
Oct 20th
While digging through my backups, I came across these photos of my climb up Ben Nevis back in early 2006. Happy Days…
Picnic at Combe Hill
Apr 29th
I was up late last night working on various projects so I decided to treat myself but doing something. I hadn’t decided yet so I was just checking my website’s statistics (435 visitors this week). I also had Facebook open and saw my mate Kelly was online. After a very quick and spontaneous decision we decided to have a picnic at Combe Hill. We had a very chilled out time even though she was a bit chilly. I loved the randomness and spontaneity of the afternoon! Brilliant!!
Remembering Vietnam
Apr 27th
2007 was an awesome year for me, probably the best year in my life. So much happened that I don’t even know where to start… so I won’t. But I did want to share my favourite sunset in Hoi An in Vietnam. I dedicate this post to my travel buddy in Vietnam Alex Berman. It was, as he colourfully puts it, “Hot as Baaalllls” which turned into a catchphrase over there; it was an amazing little excursion for the two of us. We didn’t go far as it was getting dark (hence the sunset), but it wasn’t the distance travelled, it was jsut two guys walking the streets of Hoi An and stumbling upon the most wonderful painting in the sky. It is something that will be with me forever.
A quick visit to the legendary Stonehenge
Apr 26th
I had a lull in my schedule yesterday. I was at a loss of what to do. I prefer to be busy, I am not someone who must be doing something all the time; even when I’m watching some television I usually have the laptop at hand researching or networking. With that in mind I needed something to do.
My neighbour is returning to Colorado a few weeks time, so I wanted to give her a little leaving present. She originally wanted to go to see the sea but living in Buckinghamshire we could not be any further from the coast! However, she did mention she wanted to see Stonehenge so I texted her and within 45 minutes we were off (we picked up something for Magneto on the way).
I took all my camera equipment which is easy. When you’re a seasoned Wedding Photographer you learn to travel light and be adaptable.
Below are the photos I took, the fisheye was taken by my neighbour April.
An inspirational pose for my next Wedding Bride
Apr 20th
Girl perfectly posed on steps
I simply think her pose is perfect. A woman’s neck is often missed by the photographer but it is something I try hard to capture. Along with her obvious beautiful legs the dress is simple, the lighting is high and slightly behind her. It’s great!
A day out in Cambridge
Apr 16th
I had a free Saturday so I had a great opportunity to go with a mate to see Cambridge. I did ask her if I could borrow “her” 18-200mm lens but in the end I wanted to see what I could take with the 50mm on my Nikon D300. It was a real challenge because I had a narrow angle to shoot from, but once I adjusted to what I could shoot, then it became alot of fun!
