Good Morning,

As most are aware with my day job, i spend half my life at airports traveling. And so this time i brought my little Fuji X-T1 along for a ride, and took some shots while i was awaiting to board the plane. Fuji film X-T1  f8 1/80 ISO200


I thought that it has been awhile since i have brought this blog offshore with me, and so today i am posting some pictures of the largest part of working away... The travel.

Next week's post is from the North sea oil platform.

I hope that you enjoy. Fuji film X-T1  f4.5 1/80 ISO200

My largest company expense is travel.

Each year the prices go up, and the service goes down.... Fuji film X-T1  f8 1/60 ISO200

Arrived Aberdeen station. Fuji film X-T1  f4.5 1/125 ISO320

Aberdeen has the most expensive taxi's in all of Europe. Where  you can use the Jet bus, its real cheap. Fuji film X-T1  f3.2 1/125 ISO800

They said that the hotel is close to the airport.... they are not wrong. Fuji film X-T1  f3.2 1/60 ISO500

Finally - 8 hours later, 4 trains and a bus i can get some sleep.

And to be honest this is an easy journey. I spent 4 years where i had a train, 5 hours international flight, taxi and then a boat to get to the platform. Image courtesy google images

Please check next weeks post where i will display some images taken from the above platform. iPhone 4s 1/15 f.2.4 ISO500 iPhone 4s 1/270 f.2.4 ISO50 They breed miniature horses, iPhone 4s 1/1700 f.2.4 ISO50 iPhone 4s 1/300 f2.4 ISO50 iPhone 4s 1/20 f.2.4 ISO160

It is such an amazing city, spilling out at the seams with art and design.

My favourite way to view this city has to be on the canals by boat. Im very lucky that my cousin and her fella have their own boat.

Grab some beers, head out and enjoy the diverse and interesting sites of Amsterdam! As a suprise for my birthday the Mrs booked us a trip to Carcassonne France.

Here are a few images from this trip.

What a great place and a lovely get away. Once again i headed over to Amsterdam to catch up with my family and friends out there for the Queensday celebrations.

Here are a few images from the couple of days i spent there. Street performers in the main square. Amsterdam isn't really known for its parks, but there are are few little gems hidden away. Have you picture taken.. and a beer all for  €4.. bargain! Thats where wedding photographers are going wrong, they dont include any beer in their packages... One busy party Canal. This lady is having a good time. They say you dont get anything for free... Street party. My aunty and cousin rock and rolling.. I love the smile on my aunts face, it shows how happy we all were to be there. A Bouncy Castle, a Lion and an African DJ... only in Amsterdam.. Recently myself and a group of photographer friends headed over to Dungeness in Kent.

This is a place that over time has been heavily photographed and numerous filming taken place.

As from my images you can understand why, the landscape has an almost martian feel to it,﻿ with Dungeness being one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. A quick pint and burger to fuel the creative brain cells... Part of the "maintained" landscape. Al taking images. There have been five lighthouses at Dungeness.

At first only a beacon was used to give warning to sailors, but this gave way to a proper lighthouse during the reign of James I in 1615. As the sea retreated, this had to be replaced in 1635 by a new lighthouse nearer to the water’s edge. As more shingle was thrown up, a new and more up-to-date lighthouse was built near the sea in 1792. In 1901 lighthouse number four was commissioned; then in 1961 its modern successor, the black and white lighthouse number five, was commissioned and the Old Lighthouse became a tourist attraction. Its 169 steps give visitors a bird’s eye view of the shingle beach. Phill... well being Phill An image taken in almost pitch darkness, lit with 2 speed lights in umbrella's. A quick snap shot to show the lighting positions. The light in the middle was a flash light used for focus purposing.




Well it feels like a life time ago since i last made a post. But i have been a busy one with work and other commitments, so i am seriously playing catch up now, as have a large amount of images to work through. Here are some of the images from a recent trip to Hong Kong. A view from the highest point on the Island. Market Stall. On the beach, where you can see the double Shark nets. A British bar. Part of the 5.5km escalator. View from the 5.5km escalator.
