Living by the 45 degree rule in photography and by application the rest ofContinue reading “Photography Tips #11: Capturing a Performance”
Archery Series #4: Worcester, Double Worcester
Being back with relatively frequent practises and competitions in archery, brings me to doing all sorts of rounds, not just the standard portsmouth we all grow to have a love/hate relationship with. This weekend gave me the opportunity to shoot one of my favourite barebow rounds, but this time with my trusty compound. The Worcester round.Continue reading “Archery Series #4: Worcester, Double Worcester”
Archery Series #3: String, Nose…
Again with the Archery! To be fair, it is a sport that I am improving in readily, and learning more and more as I go along.

Snapshots #11: Going Up North (Again)
A weekend away with no internet and good friends is something everyone should do throughout the year. Last time I was in the foggy Lake District with good friends and a rabbit.

Archery Series #2: Vegas Baby!

Snapshots #10: I Walked Up a Hill
Fortunately I got the opportunity to visit a couple of friends up in the Lake District and Lancashire Area.

Bonfire Night, Fire and Magic
In the U.K. it has become a strange tradition to remember the 5th of November. As Brits, we are accustomed to the turnover of November with the smokey haze of bonfires, fireworks, and sparklers.

Aberystwyth is often portrayed as a Bubble, being a small community with all your needs on the edge of the world, a windy way from any larger towns or cities that are inland.
