Dartmoor is one of my favourite places for photography and with many landmarks having legends and ghost stories associated with them, is another reason why I love it so much. Okehampton Castle is one of these places on the moor which not only has a great deal of history, is mentioned in the Domesday Book, [...]
Appuldurcombe House on the Isle of Wight had taken us by complete surprise. Having read nothing about this location prior to visiting, despite having a guide book from the English Heritage, we were completely shocked to see that the house was nothing but a shell. How could a place like this, which would have been [...]
Its been a few years since we last had a family holiday on the Isle of Wight and this time we did a bit more exploring around the Island and joined up as members of the English Heritage. Our first visit was at Carisbrooke Castle in Newport which is famous for where Charles I was [...]
A visit yesterday to Rame Head which lies at the south-eastern part of Cornwall. The chapel which sits on the headland was built in the mediaeval period and was dedicated to St Michael the Archangel and in 1425 was granted a licence for mass to be held every Monday. During the Spanish invasion the chapel [...]
My first attempt at doing some nightscape photography. Taken at Sharpitor on Dartmoor, which is lit by a half moon light.

A very nice sunset from Heybrook Bay last night in Plymouth. Hopefully we can get to see a lot more of these in the coming months and maybe, just maybe, winter is finally over?

My last full day on the Isle of Wight and the weather had changed again, this time bringing some heavy wind to the area around Freshwater Bay. As I arrived on the beach the sea was showing its full force and after several attempts of running in fear of getting extremely wet, I managed to [...]
Had a drive along the coast of the Isle of Wight and stopped off at Compton Bay. As I was heading towards the area the sun was quickly setting and by the time I pulled into the crumbling car park, which is slowly being taken away by the sea, it had disappeared through the clouds, but [...]
My wife was given some flowers last night from her brownie club as it was her last day, so I had an opportunity to do some macro photography using my new Tamron 70-300mm macro lens. Related posts: No related posts.

My latest model of a slightly old and neglected manor house, which has been modelled from a couple of reference images. I’ve been working on this model on and off since November last year. Being so new to blender, it took some time to get use to the texturing side of things using blenders cycles [...]
After many years I have finally created a new logo, in fact this would be my third attempt at creating one. I’ve always wanted to have a proper lens included in my main logo but never had the opportunity of creating one without paying for someone else to do it, which would probably cost a [...]
There was plenty of snow fall around the area of Foggintor Quarry on Dartmoor. I was quite surprised, despite the low temperatures, that the water had not frozen over. On the other side, there was little snow left around the ruin and although quite misty, you could still see towards King Tor. Related posts: Burrator [...]
The winter sun tries to make an appearance at Bovisand Beach in Plymouth. A few moments later and with the tied rising rapidly, the sun is gone.

I’ve done it again, another walk means another photograph of the Mewstone at Wembury. It wasn’t meant to be, but when you see a shot worthy of a capture you just got to do it.

I was expecting a nice sunset at Shanklin Beach on the Isle of Wight. But what started off as a nice day, had soon changed by the time I arrived. As the night drew in I moved further up the beach and came across this lonely rock sitting amongst the smaller pebbles. Related posts: Sandown [...]

Winter arrives on Dartmoor and the dramatic views of Bellever Forest attracts many walkers along the path to Bellever Tor. The snow was very compact and slippery, forcing you to walk along the edge of the path.
