Getting up the hilly areas around cities such as Edinburgh, or in this case Barcelona, can be hard work, especially with a lot of heavy camera gear in 30 degree heat, but it was worth the effort for the above photo. This view of Barcelona’s Harbour was taken from edge of the Gardens of Joan…

Flying to a new city such as Barcelona with today’s low baggage weight meant that taking a large and heavy tripod in my suitcase was a hard decision to make. That was until I found out I was going to have a chance to see the wonderful Font Màgica (magic fountains) outside the Palau Nacional…

We read left to right, so as a photographer I am often conscious of this when framing pictures, because that is how we read photos too. So in an ideal world this Jetty would lead in from the bottom left and not the right. Then ideally there would be a nice white boat at the…

Edinburgh Zoo is my favourite zoo in the UK for photography. There always seems to be a large number of animals that are waiting to have their photographs taken. What I mean by that is you can often go to a zoo and see a lot of animals, usually through unclean glass or wire fencing,…

The fountains at Trafalgar Square look good in the day time, but at night they are fantastic. I have just got back to the hotel after a night photographing various locations around London. This is my favourite image I captured and one that I am sure will make for a nice print. Yesterday the light…
