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.

I was on a day out with my family at the beach and I’m happy to say I took my drone. After seeing how picturesque this beach was I wanted to get the Mavic in the air asap while the sun was shining through the clouds. I had to do a hand take off as the sand was too soft to take off/land. It’s a picture that reminds me of a great day with my family and also the fantastic views we can get from our drones.

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

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.

After taking two trains and a bus to get here, I was blown away how gigantic these cliffs are. I sent my drone out to get a sense of scale of these incredible chalk cliffs. I probably got a bit close to the edge, as I read a week later a section collapsed. These cliffs while fragile, are magnificent to look at.

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!

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.

I went on a walk with my wife to explore the “lesser known” south bank of the Thames, east of Tower Bridge on a very cold and windy but beautiful evening. This is the view we were greeted with when walking back. Makes you want to visit London eh?

I’ve always wanted to photograph the Millennium Bridge. Numerous posts on Instagram made it seem like a fascinating destination - especially at sunrise and sunset. The only issue? The sun rose far to early in the morning and too many people were around at golden hour. With that in mind, I decided to try something a bit different using a ND filter.

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.
