Red Dinghy – Mudeford Quay
This Red Dinghy was moored close to the walkway at Mudeford Quay. It was early January so quite unusual for any boats to be on the water.
The Red, Blue and Green colours worked well here to give some impact and I used an ND8 filter which also helped with the contrast of the colours.

Red Arrows at Goodwood
I took this photo at the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed. So I’ve had it a while but it suddenly caught my eye as I was browsing my picture library.
The Red Arrows are great to watch and have been photographed millions and millions of times and some great images captured. This may not be my best Red Arrow photograph but something about the smoke and the air burst made me want to share it tonight.
EXIF: ISO 100, 300mm, f/9, 1/640
St Paul’s Cathedral – iPhoneography
I took this photo from my favourite location for shooting St Pauls. The mirrored surfaces of the building are perfectly placed and on this day the clouds were helping me too.
This shot came from my iPhone 4, one day I must take my DSLR along to this location.
Golden Brown….
It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining on her blonde hair, the tan was natural as was her smile.
I took this photograph in Rome, near to the Trevi Fountain.
By using a 300mm Focal Length on an APS sensor I was able to obtain sharp focus on the subject whilst isolating her from the background.

Improving Anglo Italian Relations
I saw these two pull up on their scooter whilst I was walking through Rome, I had my camera ready and took this shot as soon as I saw this intimate moment. It’s the crash helmets that make it for me, one with the English emblem and the other with the Italian emblem.
The shot was on ISO 100 with a shutter speed of 1/320 and aperture f5.6. The 300mm lens on a Canon APS camera allowed me to get a bit paparazzi in capturing the moment without being noticed. The long focal length also helped with the subject isolation by dropping the background well out of focus so that attention is firmly on the two subjects.
