Weather comparison

I know this photo is a bit late but the weather is a far cry from last year around this time. The image is dated 19th Dec 2010 but the contrast in conditions between this year and last year is quite remarkable by North West UK standards. I measured the temperature at the end of this walk and it was -8 deg C just as the sun was setting.

Northumberland

I haven't posted for some time but as it's approaching 2012, I thought it a good idea to post something for 2011. Earlier this year we spent a week at a campsite near Budle Bay,
Northumberland, which gave me an opportunity to photograph the east coast and different
lighting conditions. I have selected a few favourites from the collection.

Ravenglass

A recent camping trip to the western edge of the Lakes allowed me to grab a few shots of the coastline. Not the greatest light but the small weather window was the only opportunity we had. Just two to show at the moment.

Animals in captivity at Chester zoo

I couldn't resist taking my camera to Chester zoo last weekend to capture some images of things you don't normally see out and about around the UK. Not quite the same as going on a wildlife safari but I can't think of any other way to photograph these creatures in an afternoon.

Ullswater

A recent camping trip to north east lakes, just after the late May bank holiday, allowed me to grab a few shots of Ullswater whilst out on a boat trip. The shots were taken mid afternoon on one of the hottest days of the break.
