Two images I'm very proud of, one an old church in Throckrington that dates back about 800 years. Plus a hill fort, but a folly of a fort, near Rothley in Northumberland #northumberland #astrophotography #nightsky #astronomy #summer #milkyway

In the depths of #northumberland, lies St Aidens Church in Throckrington. Taken on the 21st September, the autumn #equinox. The #milkyway core will be visible for only a few more weeks in the UK

One of the loveliest day trips from Tokyo is to the seaside town of Kamakura, with its temples, cute electric train and beach views of Mt Fuji! It’s touristy of course but there’s still excellent coffee to be enjoyed! Check out my latest review of IGNIS at

The image depicts St Mary's Lighthouse, a prominent white lighthouse situated on a small, rocky island off the coast. The lighthouse stands tall and slender, with a white exterior and a dark lantern room at its top. Adjacent to the lighthouse are several smaller buildings with red-tiled roofs, likely former keepers' cottages and auxiliary structures, nestled on the rocky outcrop.
In the foreground, a concrete causeway extends into the choppy, dark blue water, leading towards the island. The water surrounding the causeway and island is a deep blue, with visible waves and ripples indicating movement. The sky above is a dramatic mix of light and dark clouds, with patches of bright blue sky peeking through, suggesting a dynamic weather pattern. The overall impression is one of a rugged coastal landscape, with the historic lighthouse standing as a beacon amidst the powerful sea and sky.

I do love late summer, I was up in the Northumberland moors at the weekend, just before sunset. I was testing the new Fujifilm X-E5 and the XF 23mm F2.8 Pancake lens!

Seems you can capture the milky way in your garden. A Bortle 4-5 sky in Morpeth too! Several images stacked to give around 3 minutes of exposure #astro #astrophotography #milkyway #lumix #northumberland

Thanks! I'm hoping to get out, but we have stormy weather here in the UK for the next 3 days!

One of my best images of Howick Bathing House. It was taken on a Lumix S5iiX, with the Laowa 15mm F2. Its stacked, 8 images, with the distortion on the houses perspective corrected too.

A early morning walk around #Morpeth in #Northumberland.

The sun had just risen & was backlighting the trees & church, so I took some long exposures to capture all the colour as there was no wind.
