The summer ebbed away slowly this year, with an endless flow from one task to the next. In fact, it hardly felt like we had a summer at all. The colours of autumn crept up quietly and are now beginning to slip away, just as subtly. At home, the leaves have fallen ungracefully from theContinue reading “A Three Day Trip To The Peak District”

A Photography Everyday Adventure
I’m a big advocate of trying to enjoy the little things in life. I don’t have the time to go on big, dangerous adventures. Instead of being down in the dumps about this, I think about all the adventure I can squeeze into my life. Whether a walk on my lunch break or a quickContinue reading “A Photography Everyday Adventure”

Date: Saturday 23rd March 2024 Distance: 4 Miles Myself and my partner, Faye, have decided that this year we are going to section hike the 102 mile route around our local county.

Why Photographs Are Important
Some people are lucky enough to take a picture which changes history, or documents a moment that people will talk about and share for centuries to come. If you’re like me however, you might have a camera roll on your phone full of photos people have never even seen. Nevertheless, they’re just as important asContinue reading “Why Photographs Are Important”
A Local Map: Square Two
Fresh from completing my first grid square, it didn’t take me long to get back out again in search of square number two. When I was presented with a Friday afternoon off work, I looked out of my window, seen the clear blue skies, and knew I needed to go fetch my bike and cycleContinue reading “A Local Map: Square Two”
A Local Map: Square One
When most people hear the word ‘Adventure’ they think of epic around the world trips or expeditions to the Arctic Circle chasing polar bears. Big adventures for adventurous people. We probably don’t think of our local area as a place where adventures happen. This is the place we live our day-to-day lives. We know ourContinue reading “A Local Map: Square One”
My Favourite Photos of 2023
I was sitting drinking a coffee the other morning before work, scrolling aimlessly through my phone, and Facebook popped up with a memories post from 14 years ago. It was a picture of 16-year-old me, crouching down in the woods taking a macro photo of some flowers on my Motorola phone. I’d just realised thatContinue reading “My Favourite Photos of 2023”
Returning to the Norfolk Coast
I was sat a couple of weeks ago sipping my morning coffee on the sofa. I’ve got a bad habit of wasting time in the morning just scrolling through social media for an hour without actually paying any attention to what I’m looking at. This morning was a bit different though. Facebook had kindly remindedContinue reading “Returning to the Norfolk Coast”
Starting Again
Back in September 2017, I competed in my first Sprint Triathlon, just two weeks after my first-ever 100-mile bike ride. I was training most days of the week, sometimes even twice a day. Swimming, cycling, running and gym work. It was probably the fittest I’d ever been and also the most time I’d spent outdoors.Continue reading “Starting Again”
Olympus Trip 35: My First Roll of Film
Since getting into photography a couple of years ago I’ve been trying to make my photos more and more perfect each time. Whether it’s learning about shutter speed and aperture, or aligning my pictures to the rule of thirds. It can be a relentless and endless task chasing perfection, because does the perfect photo evenContinue reading “Olympus Trip 35: My First Roll of Film”
