First Look – Lowepro Rover Pro 45L AW Backpack (Video)

So, if you’ve been keeping an eye on my Facebook and Twitter activities over recent days, you’ll know that I headed out into the snow-covered woodland for a spot of filming. Specifically, I wanted to put together the video you see here – an introduction to a product which I will be giving the Test/Review [...]

Hi-Tec Para Boot – Continued Testing (Snow)

The recent change in weather gave me the chance to put the Hi-Tec Para boot through yet more testing – this time whilst out filming in snow-covered woodland. I’m happy to report that, in spite of no attachment points on the boot’s upper, my gaiters stayed nicely in place, keeping out the elements. Most importantly [...]

Episode #99 – Horses, Sheep, Early Morning Light

This week: I’m out and about in the early morning, taking advantage of the fine weather conditions. Winter is one of my favourite times of the year – simply because of the quality of light. Having seen the potential for some great images a few days ago, I decided to take a chance on some impromptu [...]

Make This Your Autumn/Winter Of Adventure

There can be nothing worse in the world of outdoor photography than to have the desire to get out into the fresh air to capture great images, only to face constraints which hold you back. Sounds like a profound sound bite, doesn’t it? Maybe you’d like to quote me on that one day – but [...]

Episode #82 – City Location Scouting

This week: I’m talking through my latest location scout images, ahead of a photo shoot later in the week. In a few days’ time, I will be shooting some new promotional pictures for my good friend, musician Tom Kent. Knowing the sort of imagery he needs is one thing, but location is going to play [...]

In The True Spirit Of The Games

With London 2012 coming to a close this evening, now is a great time to reflect on the achievements of many a great athlete. As you’d expect, there have been countless highs and probably just as many lows, all of which have produced stand-out moments for any number of reasons. What took me by surprise, [...]

Marking Grandad’s Centenary +1
