The wildlife on a Barbados trip is usually pretty predictable: lizards, turtles, monkeys, flying fish, various small birds and fish. This year had already improved on the norm with a couple of hummingbird sightings, but that was before our catamaran trip last Wednesday.
We’d already seen some sign of whales, which are very unusual off the western, Caribbean, coast, earlier in the day, but on the return trip they put on a real show for us. I managed to get this shot of one of them breaching right out of the water. Not bad for a grab shot with my camera still in its waterproof housing and on its underwater settings, if I do say so myself…

Sorting out a few old photos, I got to some I took at a concert by the Walter Trout band in October 2010. Those of the great man himself and the other instrumentalists are fine, but I was particularly pleased Continue reading →

Our 2010 trip to Crete wasn’t a great success either as a holiday or photographically, mainly due to rather grotty weather. However, I did get one or two interesting shots. If you’re tempted, have a look at the album here. Continue reading →

Anachronisms in television usually consist of something too modern for the period, but I’ve just spotted the opposite. In the UK series Whitechapel the mortuary assistant takes pictures of the all-too frequent victims using a Zenit TTL. Now I know Continue reading →

Apologies to regular readers of my blog for the delay since my last significant post. I’ve been very busy with a number of things: working overtime at National Grid, getting new consultancy contracts running, updating my Bibble plugin to work Continue reading →

I’m finally processing the shots from our trip to Bruges in 2010, and I found this one I particularly liked. It’s light projected through a stained glass window at the Basilica of the Holy Blood, onto one of the internal Continue reading →

There’s a lovely moment in the film Sahara where Pitt and Giordano are following a typically desperate plan in the hope that if they can kill the villain his men will just surrender and lay down their arms. When, to Continue reading →

I was ready for a quiet day of mainly driving on Sunday. I was also ready to report a total of about 1800 shots taken, which is a bit lower than for the Cuba trip, not unreasonable given the slightly Continue reading →
You don’t realise quite how empty the interior of Iceland is, or just how much time you’re going to spend bouncing over unmade roads through deserts of rock and mud. It’s not surprising that NASA test their extra-terrestrial rovers here. Continue reading →
As soon as I’ve downloaded a shoot from my cameras, I do a quick scan of the in-camera JPEG files, and usually mark about half of the images for deletion. Those which are irrecoverable go straight to the wastebasket, the Continue reading →
