An Unloved Park?
Day 7 A slightly frustrating day. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited of the American parks, but in some ways it feels like the least loved. We are shocked by fresh graffiti in what may well still Continue reading
Into the Mountains
Day 5 After last night’s “oh bugger” moment we establish that the “right” Lynchburg is only about 60 miles south of Nashville and therefore a manageable diversion. The drive down is very pleasant, and the tour interesting, although our guide Continue reading
Goodbye Dr. Love
I was very sad this morning to hear of the passing of the great reggae singer, John Holt. Help Me Make It Through The Night is very possibly my favourite reggae love song, and the contrast between his sweet voice Continue reading
Music from Every Orifice, and a Sudden Realisation!
Day 4 It’s a long but leafy drive from Memphis to Nashville, a bit like a 200-mile long tree lined avenue, but with bigger trucks! The road is misleadingly uniform, so it’s a surprise how different the two cities are. Continue reading
An Historic Day
Day 3 The drawback of being a stone’s throw from the airport is somewhat curtailed sleep as the flights start at about 4.30. Oh well… First stop is a fabric shop on the outskirts where Frances buys some tassles, and Continue reading
Jumpin’
Day 2 Another early start, but thanks to jet lag it’s not a major issue. Reagan National Airport turns out to be an architectural gem, and I get some great shots of the main hall. Operationally it’s not at quite Continue reading
Back in the USA!
We had a trip to the USA in late September and early October, which was highly enjoyable and produced a few interesting photos. Here’s what happened… Day 1 Up early for flight to Washington. Everything goes smoothly apart from Continue reading

Morocco – Did I Need Two Camera Systems?
Here’s the list of the main kit I took to Morocco: Canon 7D body Canon 550D body Canon lenses: 15-85mm, 17-85mm, 70-300mm, 10-22mm (The 550D and 17-85 were basically “spares”, although both got a small amount of use.) Panasonic GX7 Continue reading
Morocco – What Worked and What Didn’t
As a tail piece to my Morocco blog, and as a service to anyone else considering a photo trip there, here are a few notes on what worked, what didn’t, and how you might increase your own chance of a Continue reading
First Attempt at a Star Trail
I’ve tried processing my star trail shots from Morocco, and the results are better than I expected. The above is from my first night in the Erg Chebbi. With a full moon the foreground is perhaps a bit overexposed, but Continue reading
