Capture the Moment!
Since 2013, I’ve published hundreds of blog posts on all aspects of photography. Some are aimed at helping photographers with their technique, settings, and equipment, but others describe my exhibitions, workshops, and adventures in Africa, Antarctica, and beyond.
Feel free to browse chronologically or click on any category heading for specific content, such as Equipment, Trips or Hints and Tips.

I hate photography exhibitions!
Why do photographers do what we do? I guess the same motivation applies with any profession: we want to make money, win recognition and do something we enjoy. Every now and again, though, I’m taken by surprise when someone has a very different idea of what it’s all about.
Photography competitions
I’ve now won enough competitions to be able to call myself an ‘international award-winning photographer’, but it’s a bit of a fool’s errand. The only one anyone ever seems to have heard of is the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition run by the Natural History Museum, but it receives 50,000 entries a year from over 100 countries and only displays the top 100 images in its annual exhibition.
