I enjoy photography, thunderstorms, listening to the blues, and horror films. You might find me chasing storms across North America, hunting the aurora in the night sky, or on the coast during a wind storm.

This mornings lunar eclipse about 04:30. It took me until about 14:30 to try and process the blown out highlights, and recover an absolute turd of an image. It's not too bad. Though I'm not going to look at anybody else's or I'll end up...
This storm was way out in the North sea and whilst quite active with lightning, it was really difficult to see through the haze and capture anything decent. This was probably the best shot from about an hours worth of watching. And a...
Yesterday, I found a Painted Lady feeding on the nectar from our newly planted Buddleia bush. Olympus OM1-II with 40-150 f/2.8 Pro and MC-14.
Last night we drove out to the coast with plans to try and capture lightning sprites from a forecasted MCS over the Netherlands. If the MCS went to plan, and we had clear skies in between us, then we should have been within ideal sprite...
The heat and humidity has been unbearable the last week. My back garden weather station has been recording 36c temperatures with dew points reaching 24c. For the UK that is ridiculous. It's actually quite unbearable at times but if it...
A nearly severe thunderstorm approaching Swindon, UK yesterday. I say nearly as I didn't see any hail, notice any strong wind gusts or read any reports to suggest otherwise. For a 'homegrown' UK storm it had a brief but somewhat...
I took a gamble on some Noctilucents reappearing last night with a 40 minute drive out to the coast, and then a 20 minute walk to find a clear view of the Northern horizon. There is never any guarantee the clouds will show up, but I have...
Luckily it was too warm to sleep last night, as I'm not sure I would have made the effort to go see these storms otherwise. These are distant thunderstorms near Lille in France. That's at least 150 miles to my South East, so I'm quite...
Last night (June 9th), at around 11pm, I had my first sighting of the elusive Noctilucent clouds for 2026. Not the brightest or longest display, though I'll happily take it. I'm not sure I have the motivation for the ~02:30 displays, but...
A very enjoyable day spent dodging the rain and shooting the drifting action from the Gassed on Track event at Silverstone. This is part three (of three), part one images can be viewed here and part two, here. Images shot with OM1-II,...

Just as I was heading home I found this young ball of fluff happily sleeping on a branch out in the open, seemingly without a care in the world. It was content to sit here for a good five minutes or so before it was inevitably disturbed...
Today I captured A Sailor Beetle, A Four-spotted Plant Bug(?) and A Yellow Dung Fly. These aren't macro images, I don't actually own a macro lens, but my 40-150mm lets me get reasonably close. It was a little tricky to get these in...
