Life as a light chaser

Hello, welcome and thanks for stopping by.

 

MAY 2019

I hope the force was with you on May the 4th and you had a happy Cinco de Mayo!  Isn’t May amazing? And it’s officially Spring too!!

Released this month is Big Big Trains latest album ‘Grand Tour’. Below is one of my images of lead singer David Longdon.  Nice to see him smile, he’s such a lovely chap.  Anyhow they are a fabulous band live so if you can, catch them on their tour this year in the UK.

APRIL 2019

Had a fantastic visit to Immaculate Chaos, Tattoo Studio in Bournemouth this month.  Got to watch Mara and Leon at work – it still amazes me what stunning artwork tattoo artists can create with some needles and some ink! Can’t wait to add to MY collection :)

I love photographing people at work, it’s a great way to capture images, portraits even, of individuals in their ‘bubble’ of concentration and taking pride in what they do. Because the subject is concentrating on something else and not my camera I think it makes more of an authentic shot.

One of my images from the day, of Leon, was one of three picked out by the Royal Photographic Society bi-monthly Documentary Competition. Check out the image below to find out more!

March 2019

Always fun to report I have achieved another goal with my photography.  Since January 2018 I set myself the goal of gaining a distinction from The Royal Photographic Society.  And here we are in March celebrating the fact that I am now Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society!  It certainly was very stressful and not at all easy but then that’s what makes it worth the effort.  And where do I go from here?  Well the next step up is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, so maybe next year …

FEBRUARY 2019

Wonderful to get out outdoors and go birdwatching at Hengistbury Head.  I managed to see four herons in the distance as well as plenty of seagulls and ducks.  Bit disappointed to be honest.  However when I got home I caught this bird on the fence in my garden that I thought looked a bit like a penguin.

The Rare Black Penguin Bird

This month saw a welcome return visit to Pause Cat Cafe in Bournemouth.  Always lovely to see Jaya, Chloe and team.  If  you love moggies then I’d recommend catching up with the cats at Pause.

Well January you certainly didn’t disappoint (although the New Forest is still waiting for some REAL snow).

Just the most amazing show by the multi-talented Francis Dunnery at Bush Hall, London – the last date on his ‘Big Lad in the Windmill Tour’. See my ‘Shooting Live Music Performance’ section for a taster.

Shooting Quint Starkie was fun – www.quintstarkie.net, and I look forward to doing it again!

Capturing the jaw dropping performance of guitarists Luke Machin and Guthrie Govan on stage was a real treat for me.  Lucky to grab some great shots too!

“Oh the weather outside is frightful ….” (to be sung in a Frank Sinatra stylie). “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.” As 2018 ‘marches’ on here we are 1st of March already and we are seeing the first snow of the year here in the New Forest. An excellent day to stay in with a mug of green tea, chocolate biscuits, a cosy blanket, a couple of dogs to share the sofa with and a heap of photographs to process.

FEBRUARY 2018

I fear I may be suffering from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). The long grey days, cold rain (we haven’t been lucky enough to have snow yet where I live), shall I go on? I can’t but feel a tad low as there is such little light most days.

Saying that to get into the Spring/Summer vibe, myself and Mother tried on some sun hats whilst on a recent shopping trip. It’s the UK, it’s Winter, yet for a fraction of a second we were in a tropical ‘paradise’. Imagination is a wonderful thing indeed. That and a sense of humour!! (see pic below)

It’s all about ‘layering’ this Winter, including hats!

JANUARY 2018

As I am a fair-weather photographer when it comes to the outdoors I look forward to taking some more portraits this month. However I do admire those ‘hardcore’ photographers who capture amazing images of sunrises, sunsets and stunning landscapes whilst wrestling with the inclement weather. My hat (woolly of course) goes off to you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome to 2018 and a new year full of promise and potential, and of course photography.
