That Tree
Whilst exploring the wilds of the North East of England with the family I was able to make a quick evening foray to an iconic location for fans of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

Dawn Raid
Having completely dropped off the wagon of weekly vlogs despite many promises to myself life took over. However, during our family summer away in the campervan I did manage to sneak a few forays in. In this video, I challenge myself to a “light & fast” mission to climb some mountains and take some 360 […]
No Excuses!
I tried just about every excuse I could think of.. too late, weather sub-optimal, not feeling it etc etc. Fortunately, my long-suffering supportive wife kicked me out of the house to go get some photography done. A strong lesson in dropping the ego and worry about the pressure of perfect and just enjoying being out […]

Star Trails in StarStax
I have a lasting memory of being sent into the garden as a lad, with my dad’s prized Rolleiflex 35mm SLR, and told to point it at the north star (Polaris) and keep the shutter open for an hour or so. Whether my father just wanted some quiet time, or thought it might inspire the […]
