Another of my quick projects (or rather collections of related photos, as this is a subject I’ve visited many time before). Visiting the Lyme Regis harbour at high slack tide gave me plenty of opportunities to study the pattern of reflections on the surface ripples, in this case…

Just over a year ago, I made my first visit to Suffolk, and I’ve just returned from another. A glorious three days of long walks with a friend on magnificent golden sandy beaches – so different from the rocky and pebble shores near my home in Devon. Here’s…
Avoiding the bank holiday traffic, I set out from home early and decided to squander a (rather exorbitant) £1.70 for 30 minutes parking at West Bay for a quick walk before I hit the supermarket. Here are some of the little things I noticed whilst mooching around. No…

As you may have noticed, UK weather has been in this condition for a number of days now – in meteorological parlance, an anticyclonic…
This was the challenge set by Bridport Camera Club on a sunny Saturday. It’s surprisingly hard to negotiate the pavements on a busy market day and to snap your subject without annoying the general public! I’m never very comfortable with street photography, so this was quite an effort…
