I enjoy photography, thunderstorms, listening to the blues, and horror films. You might find me chasing storms across North America, hunting the aurora in the night sky, or on the coast during a wind storm.

The best part of my least favourite season, with the last of the heat now fading and the sense that the transition to Autumn (my favourite season) is not far away.
Another day of some Dragonfly photography. I'm not sure if it's normal to see so many in the UK or I've just been in the right place at the right time this year. Today's captures were from Rendelsham Forest in Suffolk. Yes, the forest where the famous Rendelsham incident of 1980 occurred. The light was a bit more...
Another attempt at capturing some Dragonflies. The Robin also came back for another portrait Images taken with my OM1 II, Olympus 40-150 2.8 +MC-14.
Some Dragonflies we found on a walk around the reservoir. Emerald Damselfly / Common Spreadwing Common Darter Dragonfly Common Darter Dragonfly Male Ruddy Darter Not a Dragonfly. But was watching me watch the Dragonflies.

This storm was way out in the North sea and whilst quite active with lightning, it was really difficult to see through the haze and capture anything decent. This was probably the best shot from about an hours worth of watching. And a couple of nights later, this storm was much closer to our South, but we spotted it...
Yesterday, I found a Painted Lady feeding on the nectar from our newly planted Buddleia bush. Olympus OM1-II with 40-150 f/2.8 Pro and MC-14.
Last night we drove out to the coast with plans to try and capture lightning sprites from a forecasted MCS over the Netherlands. If the MCS went to plan, and we had clear skies in between us, then we should have been within ideal sprite capturing range (100-200 miles). Typically things didn't quite go as hoped for,...
The heat and humidity has been unbearable the last week. My back garden weather station has been recording 36c temperatures with dew points reaching 24c. For the UK that is ridiculous. It's actually quite unbearable at times but if it means I get an opportunity for some night time lightning, then I'll just about...
