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.

Last night (June 9th), at around 11pm, I had my first sighting of the elusive Noctilucent clouds for 2026. Not the brightest or longest display, though I'll happily take it. I'm not sure I have the motivation for the ~02:30 displays, but...
A very enjoyable day spent dodging the rain and shooting the drifting action from the Gassed on Track event at Silverstone. This is part three (of three), part one images can be viewed here and part two, here. Images shot with OM1-II,...

Just as I was heading home I found this young ball of fluff happily sleeping on a branch out in the open, seemingly without a care in the world. It was content to sit here for a good five minutes or so before it was inevitably disturbed...
Today I captured A Sailor Beetle, A Four-spotted Plant Bug(?) and A Yellow Dung Fly. These aren't macro images, I don't actually own a macro lens, but my 40-150mm lets me get reasonably close. It was a little tricky to get these in...
This is probably just an oversight on my part, but for anybody who may not have noticed when using the Bear editor to upload images, they are converted and resized to the webp format. There appears to be some loss of quality and image...
I spent a good two-three hours wandering around the local reservoir with my daughter this afternoon and I think she may have become my wildlife lucky charm. She helped me spot a greater variety of wildlife than I'd seen on my last few...
I've never appreciated 21c and a North Sea breeze more than I did this morning. After the last few days of excessive heat and humidity, getting to sit outside with a cup of tea at 8am and being able to blink without sweating was...
28c is too hot (or 82f for those that use Fahrenheit). I'm ready to tap out at 22-23c. I should have made the effort to get up before the daytime heat started suffocating me. So, I only managed an hour or two out in the sunshine,...
Today I spotted a Spotted Flycatcher. I had no idea what this species was when I see it, or that I managed to capture it in such a good position. I wish I was a little closer (or had a little more telephoto reach preferably) as the image...
Plenty of scrappy looking showers were zipping through on a cold Northerly air flow yesterday. Not much wind shear or instability to hold these together for long (as usual), but some cold air above helped with a little hail and some...
Today, I managed to get my first Blackcap on camera. He was buried deep in the bush and was hard to even get a clear shot of his face. I didn't even realise he was mid-song until I got home and see the images on a bigger screen. Also,...
Here are five images from five days of roaming around Northumberland. This wasn't a photography specific trip, but if I'm going to Northumberland then the camera is always coming along, and so these are more opportunistic captures than...
