NO FLY ZONE!!! Frustrating!! After a long time without flying I drove to one of my favourite spots on the Basingstoke Canal. I had seen many people that have flown their drone around Odiham Castle and I thought if I started at Colt Hill and worked my way down to the Castle I would have a good idea as to whether there was much military air traffic out of RAF Odiham to contend with
Read MoreI don’t often get recognition for my pictures. I keep trying. I keep trying Instagram, Facebook and other Social media Sites. In fact this image above is an image that I shot a couple of weeks ago and very nearly didn’t retouch or edit. I knew I had taken a couple of pictures and maybe it was because I forgot the sunshade for my iPad and couldn’t see it properly or maybe I just didn’t think much of it, I don’t know.

Read MoreVery often its knowing what you can do with the equipment you have that dictates how you take a photograph and what recipes you use for retouching. In some ways you pre-visualise what you expect to achieve before you click the shutter. Ansel Adams was a fantastic exponent of pre-visualisation, but often its about how you 'feel' on the day and what you want from the final effect that
Read MoreBuenos Aires is the capital and largest city of Argentina. The city is located on the western shore of the estuary of the Río de la Plata, on the South American continent's southeastern coast. "Buenos Aires" can be translated as "fair winds" or "good airs", but the former was the meaning intended by the founders in the 16th century, by the use of the original name "Real de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre".
