This was one of my most successful night shoots of last year, on top of Calton Hill in Edinburgh in December. This is by far my favourite area of the city for photography and as much as I had been many times before this was a first at night. Having had a previous photo of…

Above we see a female mallard duck struggling to stand up on a frozen pond at Dunham Massey. The ice was above two to three inches thick, although the park staff had broken up parts of the ice for the creatures. Below you can see a male mallard duck having very similar standing issues on…

Before Christmas it started to snow and as much as I didn’t fancy driving far, it was a great opportunity to photograph some of my favourite scenes with their winter coats on! The day I took this I walked from Hale up through Altrincham to Dunham Massey. Although the snow had melted a little there…

This is the third example of urban graffiti or street art from Barcelona that I wanted to share with you. All three were taken along the same stretch of wall near the harbour. What I would like to know is if any of you can work out what this word says. I would presume it…

Out of the examples of Gaudi’s work that I have photographed so far, this is one of the most awkward, because of the buildings placement in the city of Barcelona.

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…

Here we see the beautiful 2008 Kawasaki Z750 in orange. I found this bike parked on a side street near the sea front of Barcelona in Spain. There are thousands and thousands of motorbikes and scooters of all shapes and sizes in this wonderful city and I spent a good part of mytrip documenting some…

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…
