If you're looking for an unbiased, long-term field test of a Nikon D4, look no further! I've owned this exceptional camera for a year and a half now and November 2013's Wild Planet Photo Magazine has the full 14 page Nikon D4 review. The first three issues of this new [...]
Fishing for Photographers? Louis de Bernières' Girt Pike? What's got into the man this month? Well, yeah, fair point. But in my defence, I've often mused to myself on the patience, preparation, solitude and natural wild spaces that wildlife photography and fishing share and I thought I'd muse a bit [...]
From the several thousands of images submitted to the BWPA 2013 competition, I managed to squeeze two into the final short-list of 300. I just missed out on an award, but hey, I was pretty chuffed to get this far! Subsequently, the seal image won a highly Commended award :) Here [...]

Hot on the heels on 'Photographing Summer Birds' in Bird Watching magazine, I've written an article on Auto ISO in Landscape & Wildlife Photography Magazine. I'm a recent convert to using Auto ISO with Manual mode after photographing gannets with some friends at Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire. Hope you enjoy [...]
Wow, it's been a busy summer so far! I've got loads to tell you about over the next few blog posts. Where do I begin? Well, it might as well be to say that I've written a 'Summer Bird Photography' article in August 2013's Bird Watching Magazine. Also in the [...]
I've actually remembered to mention it this time! Just out on 1 June, this is my regular column in Landscape & Wildlife Photography Magazine. This month it's about guillemots and 'jumplings'.
