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…

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 →

After an inevitable delay while I set up my new PC, I’m finally back to sorting out some images. The new beast certainly does what I wanted it to. Processing an 18MP RAW file on the old laptop took up 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 →

After a week of beautiful but desolate landscapes in Iceland, I fancied a bit of colour and vibrance from Cuba. This was the first shot in the list, and a bit intriguing. It’s definitely one way of keeping your car 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 →
Saturday was when our tour really delivered on its “fire and ice” moniker. We started the day at the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon, where an edge of the enormous Vatnajokull glacier calves off into the sea. Whereas 100 years ago this Continue reading →

Saturday consisted of various views of the Vatnajokull glacier. Here’s one taken by shouting “stop” at Finn when we saw a puddle which reflected this glacial tongue in good light. Thankfully his quick reactions didn’t cause an accident. Continue reading →
