Just checked to see what I was doing this time last year and what a surprise, I was mooching around The Fens photographing random stuff 😂📸

Have a great weekend folks!

Had a wander around Eye, Suffolk on Sunday with our youngest. Initially to see the ruined castle but the light was so good, it created some wonderful compositions in the village too.

This one takes us back a few years to the point I realised there was more to #photography than big vistas and mountain views. A few trips to London with my camera opened my eyes to the photographic potential of urban environments and I’ve never looked back.

More nocturnal 📸 running adventures last night. I think I may be becoming a little obsessed 🤔😂

Throwback Tuesday: This week we head to the Highlands of Scotland, the summer of 2023 and this old tractor. I just loved the combination of colours and, if I’m honest, it brought back happy memories of my youth, working on the farm during harvest 😁

Just a simple one today. A lone tree, standing tall, in The Fens.

Throwback Tuesday. This time a sunrise shot taken on my iPhone back in 2017, during a morning run on the North Yorkshire Moors.

Like them or loath them, these beauties are here to stay and I guess are emblematic of my photographic muse, the human landscape. This one in particular caught my attention earlier this week. It had a real Orwellian feel to it, like it was standing there watching me 😳

This week we go back to Christmas Eve 2021 and the shore of Lake Windermere in the Lakes. I took this shot on my phone while out for a dawn run. It was so peaceful. The perfect antidote to the mayhem that is Christmas.

I jumped off the tram for a quick explore around Deansgate with my #camera while in #Manchester earlier this week. I always enjoy these off-the-cuff adventures and this one was no different. 😁📸

This week we go back to June 2018, to sunset from the cliff tops on the North Norfolk Coast as I ran with my wife to the finish of the Norfolk 100 ultra marathon. It was a magical sunset and this was one of a number of shots I captured that evening.

Was wading through my back catalog searching out images for this evenings newsletter, when I stumbled upon this shot from many years ago. Not sure why I overlooked it then 🤔

A few shots from my business trip to #amsterdam this week. Great to be back in the city and have some time to explore with my #camera.

It may have been windy as hell yesterday but the light was amazing, so I just had to head out for a long sunset trail run into the Fens. I was not disappointed! 😁📸

Stunning light yesterday, so broke out the drone again to capture some cultivation images for my Fenland project. Pretty windy, which limited flight time but quite pleased with some I managed to capture.
