What I do

Landscapes:

My favourite locations are coastal scenes especially cliff, rocks and stormy seas. The North Antrim Coast is a particular favourite location but I have recently enjoyed trips to S W Ireland, Donegal and Scotland. Further afield I have been able to visit Japan’s Hokkaido in winter and Honshu for autumn colour. I have also travelled widely in Europe, visited USA, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. Infra-Red landscape photography is a particular interest.

Sport:

Opportunities to photograph sport have been non-existent in 2020. So I hope to be able to get back to Motocross, Super Bike Racing, Jet Ski Racing, White Water Canoe Slalom and Rugby when the current virus crisis eases.

Other Genres:

I also enjoy urban architecture, nature photography, and garden photography.

Presentation:

I am primarily a print worker with a preference for monochrome but I also produce colour prints. Latterly with photography clubs limited to virtual meetings via Zoom I have been producing digital images for projection.

Other Activities:

I give occasional talks to clubs and judge some club competitions locally. I regularly demonstrate techniques using Adobe CC to Ipswich & DPS membership.
