Out and about in the Stour Valley, this photo is taken in the small town of Manningtree which is situated on the Essex/Suffolk border in the east of England.

Recently I headed to Colchester Zoo, Essex, UK for an experience day that my mum was booked into. It was one of the weekends that we had a fair bit of snow, so not many animals were out, but there wasn’t many people at the zoo either. Thankfully, these tigers were outside enjoying the snow and made for some really nice photos :)

The meerkat or suricate (Suricata suricatta) is a small carnivoran belonging to the mongoose family (Herpestidae). It is the only member of the genus Suricata.[3] Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa - Wikipedia. Colchester Zoo has a really nice Meerkat enclosure. I think there’s about 15-20 living in it and they’re all incredibly active. This one saw me hanging about with my 100-400mm zoom lens and perched himself up high. Really fun animals, always great to photograph!

This Meerkat was obviously intrigued by my Canon 100-400mm lens as he didn’t move!

I love this photo as it brings back many great memories. My camera (a Canon 400D) doesn’t have a flip screen, so to create these shots this low down on water, I simply had to wade my way out to a stream on the beach, hang my camera by my knees so my fingertips just trail the water, blindly take a few shots and hope something great arises.

My grandfather was a choral scholar at this collage before WW2. He sat in the seat you can’t quite see on the in the far right corner, right beside the organ pipes. I grew up in Cambridge and whenever we had visitors from out of town, we took them here and I’d feel closer to my grandfather (who died when I was about 18). I tried for a long time to take a picture which showed it off to it’s full majesty, and this is as close as I’ve ever got! If you get the chance to visit, you really should.

This was one of the first photos I took with a new “big stopper” filter that I had purchased to allow me to take long exposures during the day. I went to Reculver, Kent on the coast to shoot the towers however it was so foggy and grey I decided to switch and shoot the muted scene with just the colour of the groyne marker in an otherwise greyscale image.

After traveling to a dark zone for the blood moon to discover the clouds had not moved on I then decided to go to the coast to see if I’d have any luck there but the clouds hadn’t moved on yet. After weeks of clear skies the one night where I needed clear skies it decided to storm. The worst part is I somehow missed the lightning both time it struck over the ocean. I did end up with this photo though which I rather like the outcome of.

One of our favourite local walks runs alongside the Kent coast between Whitstable and The Isle of Sheppey. This part of the walk carries on through a peaceful nature reserve, where you will rarely encounter more than a handful of other walkers and their canine companions. It makes it the perfect place to get away from the screen, and clear out the cobwebs.

In my garden we have a lot of bird feeders, and in the Summer (usually around June) we see a lot of Starlings. They nest in the trees surrounding our house and bring their young fledglings into our garden to feed. I sat outside for 2 hours patiently waiting to get some good shots of both the adults and the youngsters. Only the day before I bought my 100-400mm MK II lens for my Canon EOS 6D and these birds were the perfect subject to practice on - I was able to get some lovely photos without disturbing the families.

I was speaking at a conference during the evening and arrived at Peterborough mid-afternoon. My Mum, who is in her 80’s had mentioned to see the cathedral, if I had time. I was not disappointed and the £3 filming fee was well worth it. An amazing cathedral with some fascinating history.

The weekend after I bought my Canon 100-400mm L Lens, I decided to go to a local park, Mote Park in Maidstone. Whilst walking around I was trying to spot interesting wildlife (as it was the summer) to get to grips with how the long zoom on this lens worked. About halfway around the park I settled down to rest under a tree with low hanging branches, and this young thrush was with me for quite a while. Made for some naturally curious photos

My first real attempt at infrared photography. Didn’t have a clue what I was doing and still don’t. No idea why the bush on the left is glowing or why there are red particles everywhere but it was taken just after seeing Hotel Artemis. Overall really pleased with this photo, the mix of grain and red particles really appeals to me.

The Greenwich overlook (prime meridian)(where time starts) has a view of this castle surrounded by trees. Super cool and eerie. I was there with my family, and as we walked around the museum on top of the hill I noticed this castle. Didn’t expect it at all. Made for a cool subject as we learned about the history of time.

Early in the morning, to have the best light and less people. It was the last day of my trip in London which was wonderful and so sunny, nothing better to end it than seeing one of the best symbol of London!

Took this on March 22nd, the same date as the terrorist attacks at Westminster. City activity still in full swing. Buildings looking great on a chilly night and the day-to-day hustle on the Thames continues.

Passing through City Hall, I decided to sit on the grass verge by the river Thames and capture the atmosphere here. It is usually a crowded place and this day was no different. People come here to chill out, enjoy the view or have a drink at the nearby pop up bar.

Always wanted to photograph this beautiful 12th century church, damaged in the Great Fire and then finished off by a bomb in WWII. It is now a garden in the City of London, and a lovely place to have lunch.
