This is my small patch of poppies I’ve been photographing in the garden in previous blogs posts. They’re now all coming to flower. I photographed this lot this morning. I’ve uploaded a shot to my ePHOTOzine gallery showing a low viewpoint of the front two – Summer
I cycled round Clumber Park this afternoon a 30km route, and on the way stopped off at one of my favourite woodland scenes to take this. The reel has been there for about five years and is starting to rot away nicely. It’s surrounded by silver birch and ferns so you can usually get a […]
A reproduction divers helmet I’ve been meaning to photograph for ages. I placed the studio light inside and used the modelling light as illumination. Then I added a self portrait behind the glass in Photoshop The photo is taken with a Pentax k5 and 16-45mm zoom

We had a pond. At one end was a water feature on an incline with a few pond type flowers around the cascade and a stray poppy. The filter pump went so we decided to fill it in. Bricks from the incline wall were used to fill the main part of the pond and the […]
