Happy New Year Everyone!! Hope you all had a great Christmas and were warm, well fed and entertained throughout. Well, As you may have noticed there’s been a bit of a change around here. The website has had a (rather premature one might suggest given current conditions around the UK) spring clean. The upshot is it should be much easier to find things in the site, as well as viewing across browser platforms (including mobile devices) and from now on images will be sightly larger so you get to enjoy them that much more. Have a poke around and if you see something broken just get in touch and I’ll fix it soon as I can.
As I write much of the UK is under a thick blanket of snow, though inevitably this has crippled pretty much the entire country. Incapable of preparing for adverse conditions people continue to slide amusingly down steep hills behind their steering wheels vainly struggling to get to work. Just take the day off people, it’s so much easier! I headed out with the dog who found the white stuff great fun to play around in! Here’s to the new year and onwards, Keep an eye out for my photographic review of 2009 in the next post or two…

Well, its been another little while since my last post but with good reason; I’ve been away. In fact a fair way away to be exact, ‘up’ north. A long way north from down here in Somerset: Scotland. Where not only did I discover it really is a stunningly beautiful place but they also make rain there too. Lots of rain. Oh now, it wasn’t all a complete washout by any means and the locations I visited far outweighed any overcast or threatening weather I had. In fact I was very lucky in many respects as when the winds really kicked up at night a few times I was of course huddled up safely in front of a video. I spent a week in two different locations, one on the Ardnamurchan Peninsular on the westcoast and a second in the breathtaking (on several levels) Cairngorm mountains. I will of course over the next few posts publish the images from the trip, not a great deal on account of the weather but happy with the results of what I have. So, don’t go too far and watch this space!
On the cards is more travel over the next few weeks/months; a trip to Hong Kong followed by Venice…hoping to ‘blog as I go, especially in the techoramaland that HK is!
On the subject of this ‘blog I have updated things around the website in general, as you may well have noticed. The look and feel has been refreshed with extra functionality added to the gallery section, tinkered ‘under the hood’ a bit and hopefully it works everywhere for everyone(!), any probs let me know.
I intend to begin creating a series of photography tutorials to be made available on the website and as download-able pdf’s covering particular topics such as what to consider when shooting in certian situations, I don’t expect to delve too far into basic camera operation as it will be assumed you are already competent with it’s workings.

New business cards arrived today!! They are nice and thick and weighty, I believe around 400gsm for those in the know. A big thanks to goodprint.co.uk for these, the quality far outstrips that of my previous ones, and will certainly leave the impression of quality I intend as befits the time and effort I put into my photos [not to mention the expected quality of the work itself!]. It’s very important to leave a good impression with prospective customers. It certainly pays for them to take away a good quality business card with your contact details, perhaps brief summary of your skills too so they know what you’re capable of. As to the design, I made it fit my website’s new look – with a space left for scribbling notes, as some people like to do…
In all, very cool. The down side? They’re so new I’ve not handed any out yet!!!

Well, the newly redesigned site is almost (99.99%) ready to roll out. I’ve tried to keep things simple and tidy (as they are now) for ease of use, all the while hoping I don’t break something or limit its functionality along the way…far too easy to do, it transpires. Well, keep your eye’s peeled…

But in a good way. I’ve completed a project on a subject not far from where I live and I’m trying to finish off two papers, a presentation and various other things, all whilst training to race over the summer. But its been good, just neglected the postings here annoyingly. So, without further ado I have a shot I took almost 2 years ago but its one of my favourites from an evening fishing with my dad…good times.

Although this site has worked absolutely fine in the past for Firefox browser users I believe I’ve managed to fix it for Internet Explorer users now – at last!!! …although not having a Mac (yet) I can’t test it out in Safari so please let me know how it is, hopefully any glitches aren’t too major (beyond my limited web-bashing skills that is!).
I’m currently shuffling the gallery section about a bit, image names and sections might go a bit funny but it should all be good in no time, check back later and with luck it’ll be all good again…(he says!)

…well, it seems I’m managing to fill the days pretty well at the moment and I’m sorry to say the camera is getting too much rest. All a bit mad actually but strangely most of it seems to fit one way or another (more…)

You know when you’re in Wales when the only other soul you meet on the hillside is a sheep…
News:
I have just added a small selection of photos from Wales in the gallery section, most of Katie and Russ’s wedding pictures are now up with just a few more to finish up in the wedding section and this blog part of the site has had a slight refresh, so if there’s anything you don’t see that was around before do let me know!
p.s. The ‘Photos’ section is now called the ‘Gallery’, so change your bookmarks, and its all best viewed in Firefox (rather than non-compliant browsers like internet explorer, which might explain things if you can’t see everything!)
And you can now email blog entries to anyone… [see below]
