The last time I did any night photography was with a film camera, far too many years ago. My first attempts with a digital camera resulted in black photos and numb hands. The second time resulted in exclamations of ‘woah’ as the little camera screen … Continue reading Banff at night
Walking in snow is hard. Walking in snow with big flappy clawed duck feet is easier… but also hard. And tiring. And it doesn’t stop you falling over and slipping under a fallen tree that you didn’t even know you were walking across because the snow … Continue reading Banff Snowshoeing
Paris is a great city, there’s no doubt about that. One I’d like to explore further. But it has an almost overwhelming amount of traffic. I live in London, I’m used to traffic. Unless you live on the Northern Circular, or one of the other main … Continue reading The Traffic
