Around the middle of last year, you may remember I was interviewed for OutdoorInformer.com, where I spoke about what it is to be involved with the world of photography and the great outdoors. Well, once again, I’ve had the pleasure of receiving another request for my thoughts – this time from Outdoor Minded Mag. [...]
Today carries with it a certain poignancy. You see, my Grandad would have been 101 years old and so, as well as pausing for thought, it gives me an excuse to share a post I put up to mark the occasion this time last year. For those who didn’t see that post, I talked about [...]
This week: I’m returning to the scene of a location I scouted some time ago, to see whether or not it still presents the same opportunities as it once did. It’s often the case that when we spot great locations on our travels, there’s simply not the chance to make use of them at the time [...]
This week: I’m taking you out and about as I scout a new location. I’m also sharing a conversation I recorded with a couple of people from the site in question, to give you an idea of the considerations I face when picking new venues for my shoots. Some quick links to things mentioned in [...]
This week: I’m outdoors once again, making the most of the photographic opportunities available in one of my local woodlands. It’s not often that we get snow in this part of the world, so when the UK had a small covering at the end of last week, I just had to take advantage. Whilst there, I [...]
Back in podcast Episode #57 – Camping, Cameras And Cold a few weeks ago, I told you how I’d just spent a couple of days camping in Dorset, testing kit and taking photographs on location. Well, whilst out and about there, I also recorded some video on the Kodak PlaySport Zx5. Here’s a short edit [...]
Heading out to take pictures this weekend? Be sure to let your camera acclimatise to the change in temperature before you leave the comfort of your warm surroundings. This is what happens if you don’t: Not a great look, is it? Well, not unless you’re going for the soft focus look, that is…
This week: I’m talking about the couple of days spent camping with a few of the members of The Backpackers Club. Last weekend gave me the chance to test some kit I’ve recently been sent, as well as create some new images for my portfolio. Much aside from that, of course, it also gave me [...]
This week: I’m looking back on a somewhat high-pressured moment at last month’s Goodwood Revival, a vintage-themed event set within the beautiful West Sussex countryside. The Revival is an excellent 3-day event, something of a photographer’s dream – with opportunities for making great pictures everywhere you look. This episode finds me heading back from the [...]
This week: I’m taking a short stroll under the cover of darkness, capturing some impromptu night shots. About a month or so ago, I took a trip to Derbyshire for a weekend of camping, walking and photography with a great bunch of prople from the outdoors community. One evening, having stepped out of the pub, [...]
You might recognise the picture above from the front page of the Giles Babbidge Photography website. Here’s a little about how it was produced.

The Revival is an excellent 3-day event, something of a photographer’s dream – with opportunities for making great pictures everywhere you look. This episode finds me talking at the end of a productive day, thinking about my [...]
