In 2011 I was the Editor-in-Chief of Oxford University’s “graphically-gorgeous” student-run science magazine, Bang!.

Today’s lesson: Don’t format a memory card without having double checked that you’ve already copied the images onto your computer. A bit of an obvious one you might think. But that’s just what I did last week, fool that I am. … Read More
I’ve something of a mild obsession with frost on wood at the moment. Taken in Richmond Park on a crisp, wintry Boxing Day morning. The sun failed to make an appearance, so I spent the morning with my lens pointed … Read More
A late-October wander around the woods. I put away the tripod, fitted a 50mm prime and just had some good old-fashioned fun. I’ve realised how much I subconsciously constrain myself the rest of the time.
I’ve made the long drive north to Buttermere on a number of occasions, but I’m still not totally at ease here. Making images here feels artificial, like a tarmac footpath through woodland. I feel exposed, wanting to step off and lose myself in a tangle … Read More

Monday night saw the peak of the annual Perseid meteor display. With clear skies forecast for parts of South Cumbria I thought I’d head out and have a crack at photographing them. Having done very little astrophotography (or indeed just … Read More
To say that jetties are popular amongst photographers is an understatement of the greatest proportions. They make ideal subjects – motionless, simple structures pointing out into serene landscapes, perfect for long exposures and eye-catching leading lines. But it is tricky … Read More
