On the hips

Sometimes, just sometimes, when you feel the need to try/do something different, give shooting from the hip a try. Ignore the quizzical looks, the non discrete noise of the shutter and the wonky angles that you may get, give it a go and see what results you get - oh, I do love autofocus (even though sometimes it doesn't quite work as I hope).

Uni Times

I have put together a short clip of some of the photos that I took whilst at Oxford Brookes University.

Inspiration for this comes from a post in this blog: http://potatosaladheather.blogspot.com/

I love taking photos, just sometimes need some ideas and how to make them memorable.

Canoeing fun

I have been meaning to put these photos and videos up for quite some time.

I took photos on the way to the pub and a video on the way back. In this video Jen Clough demonstrates how fantastically her DW training is going.

Bouldering

I saw this link http://www.photographyblogger.net/bouldering-pictures/ somewhere on the web and remembered that I had some 'ok' photos that I took a few years back in Font, France, so here they are.

Segway

For part of my Dad's birthday present the whole family went on a cross-country segway experience. Here are the photos and a couple of videos of the event (sorry about it being in two parts, I am very new to working with video)

Winter Wonderland

I entered a photography competition for the local paper in Kenilworth.  The competition was entitled 'Winter Wonderland'. Readers photographs are being printed over a couple of weeks, before they announce the winner at the end of the month. Last week I managed to get one of my photos printed.

Yup, that's it, the snowy pine tree, right the centre of the page!
