I’ve often thought about doing a daily or weekly photography challenge, I’ve seen other photographers undertake them and the journey looks interesting. However, I am not and have never been good at following rules so instead I’ve set myself the very gentle challenge of building a visual diary of my botanical encounters over the year. … More A year in wild flowers
I haven’t written anything for a long time so I thought I would write a quick ost about photographing the spring woods with intentional camera movement (ICM) and multiple expoures.

I’ve always loved wild orchids, and living in Dorset I’m able to visit many species all growing within a few miles of my home. During the spring and summer these flowers appear on the chalk downs, in woods and meadows, pastures, dunes, roadside verges, bogs and heaths and some in unmown gardens and brown field … More Wild orchids

At this time of year, one of my favourite subjects to encounter and to photograph are fungi. Its hard not to be transported into a fairytale world on meeting the fruiting bodies of fungi, which in some cases can appear overnight. I visit a few favourite patches locally where I know I will encounter parasols, … More Porcelain fungus
