There should be sunshine after rain, these things have always been the same so why worry now.  Not only a great song but wise advice for photographers ? The weather has been mad here with a mixed bag of sun, rain, wind and hail so as soon as a storm looks as if it’s peaking […]

After 3 months work in Africa and India I’m back in sunny Sussex. Yesterday I held my first Sussex photography workshop for 2015 which was a one-on-one day with Claire from Brighton who wanted to get to grip with her new camera. Thanks for a lovely day and for sharing some of your photos below. […]

Travel photography India One way to improve our photography is to question every time exactly why and when we press the shutter button which will differentiate your photos from the digital deluge of boring, unoriginal snap shots. It also leads to more of what I call ‘lucky images’. I took the photo below last night […]

Shoebill Uganda Today I’ve been canoeing in the Mabamba swamp, Uganda during one of my Uganda mountain gorilla holidays. Mabamba is one of the best places in the world to see the elusive Shoebill. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to a Dodo these remarkable birds are endangered mainly due to hunting to meet a […]

Kidepo national park which straddles South Sudan and Northeast Uganda was voted Africa’s best national park recently and after my recent visit I can see why. Framed by cardboard cutout mountains on three sides this place melts your heart with its sheer beauty – but best of all, you’ll virtually have the place to yourself. […]

Water vole photos I’ve been back in sunny Sussex, UK, for a month now and there doesn’t seem to be that many great apes around . Luckily I’ve found a few water voles near to my house which are now in breeding season. Here’s hoping for pictures of babies over the coming weeks.
