I have seen a few images lately, both at my local camera club, and also online, where people have added “artistry” to an images by blending in unrelated images as layers and then editing the results in Photoshop. I have been living with this image of Idsworth Church on my photo frame for a while; […]
Today’s phototrip saw me wandering around the back lanes between Queen Elizabeth Country Park and Buriton in southern England. I really had no idea what I was going to see and photograph but I still had in mind my mission to capture some worthy woodland images. So I headed off in the direction if Idsworth, […]
Yesterday I visited Kimmeridge in Dorset with a couple of friends from our Facebook photowalking group. The tides were right but unfortunately the weather was dull and overcast. Though this was supposed to break up late morning it never did. As expected this resulted in some rather flat raw files so I had to consider […]
Yesterday’s trip to the New Forest was my first photography outing of 2023. However, the weather did not rise to this auspicious occasion and remained dull, Gray and flat all morning.

Today I went again to Eartham Woods. I knew I would not have long because the weather forecast was only goodish for a few hours. It’s still fungi season and there were plenty about, but I really struggled to find something that enthused me. Eventually I came across a small group of Fungi that had […]
A few of my more successful bird images.
It’s that time of year when I love to get out into the countryside and capture images of fungi. I am always amazed at how many types there are in the woodland near where I live. The great thing about fungi is that they are fairly rigid and therefore can stand up to all but […]
