The season of Spring is associated with New Life and this is exactly what I wanted to portray through this image. Two colorful crocus buds, just about to bloom, breaking through a field of fresh, green grass embodies what Spring is all about – the freshness and newness of life after the bleak and desolate [...]

Springtime is usually associated with green grass, new foliage and blossoming flowers but the other distinct sign that everything is coming to life is the sweet song of birds. The air is filled with the sweet sound of melodious tunes as various birds go about their daily spring chores of foraging for food, wooing their [...]

Captured this shot on a frosty morning in Edinburgh. Going out to photograph on a frosty morn is an amazing experience and what I have noticed is that the beauty of frost is in the detail. Getting up close to your subject brings out the real beauty. At first glance, one just sees a white [...]

The Red Arrows, the aerobatics team of the Royal Air Force, is usually a nine aircraft team but only eight planes can be seen in this image and this is due to the tragic demise of one of their pilots, Flt Lt Jon Egging. Flt Lt Jon Egging’s Hawk T1A aircraft crashed near Bournemouth Airport. [...]

Captured this shot during a recent stroll. I found this carpet of leaves at the foot of a tree and it was a great opportunity to get a few autumnal shots, including this one, as the bed of leaves was virtually untouched and hence had a nice natural feel to it.

This image is part of a series of images that I am currently working on. The series, when finished, would show the various phases of the moon from crescent to full moon and then back again to crescent. I am aware that this has been done already by many a photographer but just wanted to [...]

Captured this image from Stirling Castle (Scotland) looking down on the view below. This just looked like such an idyllic image waiting to be captured. The country house, the trees (a few of them skeletal), the elongated shadows on the ground created by the rays of the sun – all these elements just seemed to [...]

The opportunity to photograph an Albino Python was unique and what beautiful creatures they are. I was looking to focus more on the colour and texture of its body and it was an added bonus that at the time I was taking the shot the snake decided to turn towards me and headed in my [...]

I love photographing big cats and when I got a chance to get ‘up close and personal’ with this beautiful cat, I pounced at the opportunity. I captured this image just as something caught the attention of the tiger. The fixed gaze and sheer concentration in its eyes says it all – this cat means [...]
