Ely was close to the route home from Norfolk, so I took the opportunity to stop off there. It is somewhere I have long wanted to visit. The cathedral is the tallest building in the area, dominating the city and its surroundings. It is from this visibility that it derives its nickname, “Ship of the […]

If you had asked me where I expected to get my favourite image during my camera club’s long weekend in Norfolk, I would have said How Hill. The River Ant, which is the location of this photo, flows past and is a scenic spot. We had visited the previous day and opted to return for […]

Another shot of Norwich Cathedral, this time of the interior looking from the Choir towards the High Altar. The cathedral normally opens later in the morning, but our group had permission for a shoot beforehand when there was no one else around. The only proviso was that we did not enter until after Morning Prayer […]

This is what could be described as a “classic” shot of the cloisters at Norwich Cathedral. A polite way of saying that others have done it before. It would be a surprise if they had not; few worthwhile locations are unique in photography, especially in the UK. Only the early pioneers who were shooting their […]

Recently, I went with my camera club on a long weekend to Norfolk. It is a part of the country I have not visited since childhood when my parents regularly took the family on holiday to West Runton, near Cromer. Those were idyllic days as the owner of the cottage where we stayed owned a […]

There cannot be many jobs which have not changed over several centuries. One such is the position of swanherd at the Swannery in Abbotsbury, Dorset. It dates back at least to the 14th century, with the first written record in 1393. In practice most likely predates that. The swanherd was originally a member of the […]

It was cold and it was dull. No complaints about that, it was what the weatherman had predicted. Less welcome was the constant sleet which had not been in the forecast. I had joined the London Region of the RPS for a street walk in the Greenwich area, making sure to wrap up warmly for […]

This is not the shot I envisaged I would obtain when I went to Reculver in Kent. Landscape photography always has an element of fortune and this occasion was no different. It was circumstances rather than my initial intentions which ended up dictating the eventual image. This was my first visit there and I went […]

Date wise, this image is going to appear out of order on my blog, but I wanted to publish it on the day I took it. Earlier this evening in the West End of London I saw Nelson’s Column below a waxing Moon and the planet Mars. It made for a remarkable sight. One of […]

The shot below is what I had been hoping to get on my previous visit to Portland Bill a few days earlier. A view along the rocky pensinsular illuminated by the setting sun. On that first occasion I had been frustrated when the sun disappeared behind a bank of cloud on the horizon. The compensation […]
