I feel like I have been taking photographs all my life. When young I was allowed to use my parents Kodak box camera and then their Brownie 127. There certainly wasn’t any calling having seen some great photographer’s work.

I am a landscape photographer. This website is what I enjoy most. I use props I love to enhance and manipulate my work. I am not a purist and I am sure that most photographers are the same overtly or secretly. I want the  finished article to make the viewer say ‘I like that’. I hope there are some of mine in this website that do that to the reader.

Capturing lightning is my preferred subject. It’s very hit and miss with sometimes a time span of less than a second to a few seconds. Miss it and it is gone. Those I don’t miss are the prize. I cannot make something happen, I can just be there and prepared if it does or is likely to happen.

This one I have called Lightning Man for more than one obvious reason.
