This fantastic band were playing at Lydia and Justin’s wedding. They’re called Rance’s Rockin’ Chair Band and you can check out their website here. I was massively impressed with how awesome they were. They played a fantastic version of “I wanna be like you” from “The Jungle Book” I found a spare moment between shooting and asked them if they would like a couple of shots out on the balcony and this was the result…
This is my first attempt at something I want to become awesome at! I’ve not had a lot of experience shooting fast moving subjects and certainly not whilst trying to light them with flash. I was hoping that the flash would freeze the subject within the frame but as I could only sync at up [...]

More from Shuttleworth. I was on the phone to “the G-man” when these ducklings walked right up to my feet! I managed to get a couple of decent shots whilst giving Gurdev a walkthrough on using Adobe Lightroom. I still can’t believe how overly confident these little guys were. I really didn’t expect them to [...]

I didn’t even know there was a (ruined) castle in Berkamstead until last week when I was invited to go there for an awesome picnic. Thought I’d share these shots, they have a pretty summery, vintage feel to them. It was boiling hot all day which was nice! I took my old 400D with a Tamron [...]
