A Damp weekend…

At Shoreham Airport.


A real shame, the weather that is. All these sunny days and it had to rain most of the weekend with the cloud cover staying very low.

That said, I had a lovely time with a great bunch of people. My real hope is that a good amount of money was raised for the wings appeal.

As for the photography, most of my time was spent trying to show the atmosphere of the event, taking very few images of aircraft. That said, here is a Hurricaine flying very low to keep out of the clouds.




 More my style though are the Chelsea Pensioners, ex forces enjoying an event that really honours them…

Shoreham Airshow

Today I attended the press day for the forthcoming Shoreham Airshow.

I must say – what a fantastic team of volunteers they are to put this charity event together.

This year is the 21st birthday of the event and it promises to be a stunning weekend. If you are in sussex, head over, enjoy the boys playing with their flying toys and see some wonderful displays…

This picture is of The Blades display team who performed on the press day. If you look carefully you will see the logo on the wing is that of the RAFA Wings Appeal for which both The Blades and the airshow are raising money for….

New personal project



I have been racking my brain to come up with a new personal project over the past few weeks. I now have 2…


Living by the sea, there are so many things to photograph within a few minutes walk of my home but the problem is they have all been photographed before, in so many ways. Of course, my point of view is always going to be different to others, so I hope my “Worthing” project will offer a new and contemporary view of the seafront. The problem is, part of this needs to be completed after sunset and I am not really keen to go to the sites I have marked out alone, in the dark with £xxx.00 of camera kit…

The second project is to apply my knowledge and skill of interior panoramics to the sussex countryside. It’s with this in mind that I went off walking along the river Adur yesterday to test myself and my techniques. Whilst the viewpoint I choose is not exactly inspiring I am now confident in what I have to carry and how to create what I hope will be a fantastic set..

I love Sussex, I think it is a wonderful county with so much tucked away with 90% of it’s population not being aware of anything thats not 100M away from a road. My aim therefore is to capture the wide openness and the outstanding natural beauty of this county.

That said – my test shot did not exactly fall into that category although the scale and detail are without doubt to the standard I am looking for.
