So some idiot decided he wanted to get his name in the paper, become vilified by the majority of people that live in this country and hopefully spend some of his remaining days on this beautiful planet we call home behind bars.

My thoughts – I can not really express them because I too would get summoned to court but I hope this vandal feels the full force of the law and gets to spend time behind bars and then gets to do a lot of community service in the very pastures he decided to destroy.

as it stood before and as it lies today . . . .

Read the BBC story . . . .

Some of you may know that a location I have always wanted to go and photograph is Bow Fiddle Rock in Scotland. I wanted to go and photograph it last week after I had photographed the New Brighton Lighthouse, but sadly I had an error on my heater and had to return home to have that fitted.

Well, that trip is now back on. I am meeting up with the F7.1 group on Friday night Saturday after which I will be heading North with my trusted friend Nikon, I just hope I/we can do it some justice and the gods are kind to me weather wise.

I decided tonight to send out my first newsletter from this website. I was in a bit of a rush, which as we all know is always a huge mistake.

Having just read the email I am now having to take my time writing this apology as there were so many errors as I failed to proof read it before pressing send. My apologies, it will be better next time!

As I have now been named and shamed as a member of this ‘elite club’ of photographers I would like to share the link to my introduction written by Mr Ginger Captures himself.

Have you seen them? Would you like to comment? Please leave your thoughts and comments here . . . . . . Thank you.

The photographs are NOW available on the website, go the the Photo gallery section.

A new lens added to the collection but it mean one of the others will be leaving us.

I recently purchased the NIKKOR 100-400mm f4.5 – 5.6 S lens as it seems to me to be a better option than carrying the 70 – 200mm F2.8 S lens and the adaptor.

Thats means the 70 – 200mm F2.8 S lens and the adaptor will soon be leaving us, well i am thinking about the adaptor but the lens will be sold at some point. I simply can not carry all these lenses so why would I keep them?

I have decided to leave Twitter/X platform. I have therefore removed the link.

I have decided to join Threads and have added that link at the top of the page.

I have changed the look of the website slightly, I hope you approve of and like the new look.

I have just added the images taken in Lowestoft last weekend, hope you enjoy them.

At long last, I have been able to get out and do some photography, still not easy but it was so good to be out again.

I was out with some friend too and did they help me! What a fantastic bunch, feeding me, helping me up and all sorts of other things I struggled with, oh and lets not the forget, tea thats soooo important, thanks Stan.

Anyway, thank you to them all I hope you get to do it all again soon ;)
