I’ve just returned from a reunion photography trip for 4 guests who were on my 2019 tour of Namibia. It was supposed to take place a couple of years ago but Covid hit the world and the trip was postponed a couple of times. It finally happened with the addition of two lovely guests, and a good time was had […]
At the very end of November I found myself unexpectedly going to Antigua instead of on a trip to photograph Tigers in India, which had already been postponed 3 times due to Covid. It transpired that the Indian government was not issuing E-Visas to UK citizens for reasons unknown (and only discovered a month before planned departure), so with flights […]
This post is rather late, but Cornwall can be just as beautiful as the further away places I’ve been to. I spent a week there in October (before my Namibia tour) and was lucky enough to have fine weather most of the time. A few lovely sunny days and although other days were overcast there was very little rain. Below […]
After my tour of Namibia ended I flew to Cape Town in South Africa for 4 days. I hadn’t been there before and I’d heard from quite a few people that it’s a great place to visit. Here is a selection of photos. The view from the top of Table Mountain. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden had been recommended and it’s […]
Our 9th day took us to Spitzkoppe. An incredibly dramatic place with ginormous granite boulders. I’m sure Disney modelled all their fake ones on this place. This is the view through the rock arch. Around the lodge grounds I snapped this little lizard with my iPhone. I like the way its colours blend in with the different colours of the […]
Having checked into our next lodge we set out to photograph the sand dunes as the sun was setting, as this is the best time to capture the differences in light and shade. The shapes created by the wind are stunningly beautiful. The following morning we set early alarms and left in the dark to get to Deadvlei for sunrise. […]
Namibia – a country that’s approximately 3.4 times bigger than the UK, but the population density per square kilometre is the second lowest in the world, at just 3 compared to the UK population density of 277. (The least densely populated country in the word is Mongolia ) The most densely populated country in the world is Macau at whopping […]
Doing a house sit means that you get to see places that you wouldn’t discover if staying in a hotel, as that would inevitably mean being somewhere more well known. We had access to bicycles so took the opportunity to visit some local sights. The first was a beautiful mansion in Maisons-Laffitte, and it was built in the 17th century. […]
This August finds me dog sitting on the outskirts of Paris for 18 days. I’m trying out a new experience through an organisation called Trusted Housesitters. The concept is that the housesitter goes and lives in a home away from home, looking after a pet or pets while their owner is away. It’s a great way to visit somewhere new […]
If I had to sum up the Florida Keys in three nouns it would be Water, Boats, & Sunsets. Verbs would be Vibrant, Relaxed, & Inclusive. Here’s a selection of images from a drive down to the most Southern part of the United States. Let’s start with a multi-story boat park. Much more photogenic that our multi-story car parks! Iguanas […]
