I like photos with colour and people and this one has both. I was in Cambridge and saw this opportunity and was able to quickly fire up my mobile. I’m delighted with the result. It’s a pity about the poster in the window to the right, without it I’d have twice the photo. Maybe I…

I was on a mission to take photographs to record Cambridge for a Cambridge Camera Club project. I’d done Lensfield Road and the streets south of it and was heading for Regent Street. I took the opportunity to visit the Catholic Church (the Church of Our Lady of The Assumption and The English Martyrs to…

There was a time when CCC, viz Cambridgeshire County Council, dominated my life. Not any more but another CCC, the Cambridge Camera Club, www.cambcc.org.uk , has crept in. I’ve paid my dues and I’m now a member and look forward to being challenged to improve my photography.

This is another result of seeing an opportunity and taking it using my phone. I was driving towards the RSPB site at the Fen Drayton Lakes when I looked right and saw this scene. It reminded me of similar ones that landscape photographers, especially Scandinavian ones, seem to get excited by. This is the windmill…

Many of the photos I take are quick spur of the moment shots. Not only have I not spent an age setting the photo up but often I hadn’t even expected the opportunity to arise. And so it was with this one. I was invited round to a friend’s house for a glass of wine.…

Lots to choose this month with a trip to Italy from which this one comes. It’s a view down the length of the Great Hall in the impressive Venaria Reale near Turin. It’s 80m long and generally full of people. As I was leaving I Iooked back and it was almost empty with just a…

I’ve been taking photos for some time now and started digital photography almost twenty years ago. I’ve published a selection of photos from the first 10 years in the pdf below.

Sometimes the choice is just rather easy and so it is for March, 2023. This is number one granddaughter at the Van Gogh ‘immersive’ in York. It’s a hand held shot and was a quick take as Amelia turned to face me. I’m rather pleased with it. This photograph was taken with my Sony A7…

I read Digital Camera magazine each month. It’s not a bad read, I take some inspiration from it, and I have it on subscription so it’s not too expensive. One of its regular features is a selection of readers’ photographs. Some are exceptional but some I reckon are just good and no better than some…

Lots of competition this month with some super stuff from my trip to Jordan. Petra itself delivered multiple good shots but my pick for this month is this shot of the Roman ruins in Jerash. It’s taken from the north end of the site with Hadrian’s Arch in the distance. In the foreground is the…
