Continuing on from the experimentation last week, I traveled to London, specifically Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs. The idea was to make a full day of it but, naturally, I forgot to charge my batteries so was disappointed when, after 2.5 hours, all three of them were dead. I wanted to experiment with...

Impressionist Photography Experimentation
In my hopes to reinvigorate this blog and my photographic adventures, I have been practicing with my camera. It has been nine months since I last went on a photography trip and even that was just a basic walk around my local woodland, so to say I am out of practice would be an understatement....

Restaurant and Food Prep Photography
I had the opportunity last week to take some photos during a service at the Mallinson Restaurant, the College's in-house kitchen and restaurant for catering students. Below are some of the photos I took of the restaurant before service, as well as some shots in the kitchen during service.
Canvey Island Textures
A couple of months ago I went out with Ron to do some photography. We started at Wat Tyler Country Park and then continued towards Canvey Island. While there we climbed what looked like the land section of an old deep water dock, I was able to get some nice textures from a couple of old... Continue Reading →
Romania – Wedding, Danube, Trains and Breaking Down!
The Austria / Hungarian border was eerie to say the least, it was the first time on the journey that I felt I was travelling into a whole different way of life. The border seemed, for want of a better word, lifeless, it really looked as if I had gone back in time and crossed the iron curtain... Continue Reading →
Vienna Night Time Shop Signs – Drive To Romania
After our explorations through Munich Ron and I drove across Austria, first stopping in Salzburg for a quick snack and coffee. Unfortunately we spent a fair time trying to get into the city stuck in traffic and finding a place to park so we couldn't spend as much time looking around as we would have... Continue Reading →
Asam Kirche, Munich – Drive To Romania
In August 2014 I was invited to an old work colleague / friends wedding. He had already got married in London to his wife with just a few friends as witness, however they wanted to marry again in their home country with more of their friends and family with them. This was definitely an opportunity I... Continue Reading →
North Weald Redoubt Fort Trip
Earlier in the year I visited North Weald Redoubt with a couple of friends. Ramblings so Far & Chill Cleal The redoubt was built at the end of the 19th Century to protect London in case of war. There are still two surviving (albeit rusty) Allan Williams Turrets which were used to defend a nearby radio station. The... Continue Reading →
Peak District Holiday
It's been a long time since I added anything to this blog. Not to say there hasn't been anything interesting happening, I just drifted away from the habit of making even semi-regular updates. Visiting the Peak District in June of this year was one of the things I failed to blog about. The week was spent... Continue Reading →
My Jersey Island Journey – Part 8 – Val de la Mare Reservoir
On the second to last day in Jersey I visited Val de la Mare Reservoir. To my great surprise at one end there was a large dam holding back the water which provided multiple photography opportunities. Some of the photographs I took went back to my old minimal architectural style which I think the dam... Continue Reading →
