Tempted out with my infra red camera by bright sunshine , decide to go for a local walk starting at Isle Abbotts with its wonderful church. It was a hot day and I usually fantisize about finding a tea shop around the next corner but this time we did!! The lovely Stable cafe in Fivehead […]
Somerset Arts Weeks this year is going on line and we have all been encouraged to learn new skills to go with this Here is my first attempt at making a movie!!!!
A lockdown birthday present of a fisheye lens has been great fun combined with Infra red on daily walks. Plenty of sunshine and some spectacular cloud days last week gave lots of photo opportunities!! Can’t believe how close you can get and record a whole tree, those horned beasts were inches away!!
At last some sunshine and no wind either. Took some pictures that I am sure were truly great of some friendly horses – no card in the camera !!!!! At my age and stage!! We walked today with some good map reading, through a very remote and wild part of the hills, near Smeatharpe. Fields with […]

My absolute favourite time of year and the first day with some good clouds and interesting light that there has been for months. I took my Infra red camera to capture the breaking leaves. The special thing about walking in the Blackdown Hills are the surprises that lurk round every corner.
Somerset Arts Weeks came and went in a flash it seems, the weather was good and the event well supported. I realised, after explaining very many times about infra red photography , that the high sun in Africa was ideally suited to this type of photography. Back home in England out in the countryside everything […]
Rapidly drawing to a close. Last 5 days coming up. The shed looks really good this year as I have avoided reflections by printing on matt paper and hanging the pictures unframed and large!! Gentle lighting is all that is needed and the pictures from Kenya do provide a ‘WOW’ factor. My fellow exhibitors have […]
