It was, of course, that time of year in the UK the last week and like many other families around the UK we trooped to our local firework display. It was held in the grounds of a local school, with the standing area on the playground (avoiding the joy of mud in previous years) and …

Cornwall Spring
I’m not sure if the title is a reference to the season or that a holiday has put a spring back in my step, but I certainly felt like I needed a holiday after the last few months. In fairness, of the two weeks I took off, we spent 8 days in Cornwall and the …
Cliffs, Coast and Castles
Just after Christmas we headed off to Wales to to combine seeing family with a short holiday. Of course regular readers will know this is something I’ve done before and will do again. This time though while staying near the picturesque Dunraven Bay at Southerndown again, we wanted to explore a few of the places …
Classic Cars and the Joy of Bands
I absolutely love classic cars. There’s something about the shape of the body, the lights, the colours etc that make them amongst my favourite things to photograph. So I was delighted that when a group of classic cars arrived outside my office when I was equipped with my Nikon Df, some manual focus primes and …
Enfield
I’ve been meaning to write this since early September and I have a bunch of other stuff to get through that’s queued behind it. The trouble is, this is a piece about the area I just moved from and there’s just so much to cram in. I can remember now how we discovered Enfield. Some …
Blow the trumpet
Sadly, you find me in a situation this morning where my mood is such that I would rather blow a trumpet in someone’s face. I don’t think I’ll ever understand why in the process of trying to achieve something some people choose to behave in a way that amounts to pouring fuel over the fires …
Rain, Sweat and Enthusiasm: Le Tour in London
I had absolutely no idea I would have any time free today at all. My diary was packed with meetings which I was cursing because today was the day the world’s biggest cycling race rolled into town. One technical failure of a 3 hour video conference later and I set off with a couple of …
Hatfield Sculpture Trail
It’s funny how weekends can occasionally take on a completely spontaneous character, with a crazy little thing you decide to do on the spur of the moment being great fun. Which brings me to Hatfield House, armed with my Nikon Df, 58mm F1.4G and 24mm F1.4G. Although it’s a location we visit often to take …
A sunny afternoon in Greenwich
This isn’t the only post I’ll ever write on this topic, in particular I reserve the right to post many more pictures of the beautiful sights of Greenwich 😉 , but in the meantime I wanted to record a visit last weekend which had just perfect weather. Unfortunately it felt like the rest of the …
Ever have one of those days…
On the weekend I took my son to the local transport museum, which is open the last Sunday of every month. The museum (Whitewebbs Museum of Transport) is well supported by volunteers and is also behind the well known Enfield Pageant of Motoring. It sounds a wee bit crackpot, but the displays are actually very …
