How to take photos on holiday without annoying your loved ones
This topic is near and dear to my heart, and I think there’s a lot of value in these tips. So if you’re planning a holiday away with those strange non-photography type folks — perhaps your family, or a group of friends — then this is the place for you!
Lumix GH6 astrophotography
I had a nerdy weekend shooting astrophotography with my Lumix GH6 and S5

I tried to learn to FPV in 14 days
Flying FPV has become such a passion of mine. Here is a video all about my first 14 days getting to grips with it in sunny Sardinia!
Micro four thirds for astrophotography
I recently went to the Brecon Beacons National Park with all of my lovely cameras, for a full night of Astrophotography! I shot on the Lumix G100, the GH5, and also the full frame Lumix S5. Here are my findings!
A (much better than average) week in the life of a wedding photographer
What a week! I shot a beautiful castle wedding at Blairquhan castle Castle in Scotland, then with only a day in between I was off to Switzerland for the Evolve wedding videography retreat.
American Road Trip #3 - Camping in Monument Valley, Hunts Mesa - astrophotography
Hold on to your hats, guys. This is where the good stuff is. We camped out overnight in Monument Valley, in Hunts Mesa, with a Navajo guide. The views. THE VIEWS! Wow! Honestly one of the best experiences of my life. I even got a little bit of astrophotography done. In the end. Even if it was at 1am when I woke up for a wee.
American Road Trip - part #2 — Zion National Park, Las Vegas
I’ve been to Zion national park twice before, and until I went to Yosemite it was my favourite national park. Zion is blummin’ stunning. It has a bit of everything — red desert stone, green trees, blue water. It’s great.
This time we decided to do a nice simple walk called the Canyon Overlook Trail. It’s just about a mile round trip. The view at the end is just… amazing. It’s about as good as Angel’s Landing and you don’t have to kill yourself to see it.
American Road Trip - part #1 — Sequoia National Park and Yosemite
Two weeks.
7 national parks over 4 states.
2200 miles driven.
Hopefully a lot of nice photos to show for it! I took with me my Lumix GH5, and my Lumix S1, with a handful of lenses. Because clearly I don’t value my own back, or take heed to luggage allowances. I totally over-packed. But hey! I am a Nerd.
Sardinia - Photos and Tales
After visiting Sardinia in 2017 for my lovely friends’ beach wedding (omg it was stunning), they invited us back for a little holiday with them. So of course we jumped at the chance.
Despite visiting Sardinia twice now, I feel like I’ve only experienced a small portion of the island, and there’s so much left to explore. It’s a place I see myself coming back to time and time again, not just because it’s BEAUTIFUL, but also because of the memories I’ve made there with the people I love.
My Top 10 Photos of the year (Micro Four Thirds)
I think 2018 has been a great year for my photography outside of my commissioned work. I’ve evolved my colour grading quite a bit, and I think — even through sheer practice and time spent on photography — my skills have improved quite a bit.
That’s one of the reasons why I love photography so much: There’s always room to improve. There’s always a new skill to learn, a new technique to try, a new project to take on.
Isn’t that all a bit cool?
I’ve decided to keep this list to my “passion project” photography — as in, not any commissioned wedding or portrait work. I may make a seprate list for that.
Anyway, without further any more waffling, here are my top 10 images of 2018.
Three Days In Malta
Well. That was an eventful trip. I feel like I need a holiday to get over my holiday! It was busy, but I got to see a lot of cool places.
