Every year a volunteer charity organisation called SACA organise a bike ride between Birmingham and London, the ride spans across two days pausing for breath in Luton.

I recently purchased a set of macro extension tubes for my camera. I’ve been interested in macro photography for a while but I’ve never had a macro lens so I thought I’d give it a try!
I shot all of these images on my 5D MKII with my 50mm 1.4 lens at its maximum aperture. They [...]

The Lake and Gazebo in this shot are fenced off from public access, I’ve noticed them whilst driving through Woburn a few times now and decided to see if I could take a look! I couldn’t get very close and I had to shoot through some trees but it was totally worth it for this [...]
