Old Padstow Lifeboat
Land’s End is a bit of a funny place. You follow the A30 down through Cornwall and what is at points a major road suddenly turns into a car park, which unceremoniously turns you around points you back...

By the Railway
I’ve always loved the view from the window of a train. I love the fact that the sights you get are ones you don’t get anywhere else; the backs of people’s gardens, the view from the railway bridge, the...

August
Another month has passed. They keep doing that. Last month I talked about getting my groove back. That groove has stumbled a little bit in August, but I’ve kept a relatively decent pace up. Sure,...

Return to London Fashion Weekend
1/400sec, f/4.5, ISO 800, 18mm When I attended London Fashion Weekend earlier this year, I pretty much assumed it would be a once-in-a-lifetime thing, unless I actually make it into professional...

On Show
I’ve finally managed to get down to have a look at the culmination of my Greenwood project that saw me visiting the Greenwood Theatre in December, January and March to shoot productions of All’s Well...

Food, Glorious Food
It is, thanks to social networks like Instagram, a bit cliched to photograph food. People who, when first brought a hot meal – whether at a posh restaurant or a Burger King – whip out their phone and...

October
This time last month I was sitting here, analysing the underlying reasons why, for the first time since I started this blog, I’d had a postless month. There a variety of reasons why it happened, and...

London in the Evening
1/8000sec, f/3.5, ISO 100, 18mm I’ve made quite a few trips to London with my camera over the years, at various times of day: I’ve shown the sights and sounds of London Town from sunrise through the...

The Big Cats of Woburn
1/320sec, f/5, ISO 1250, 210mm There are some things in my life that, no matter how great, just take me time to deal with. This post is a great example of that. For ’twas Christmas 2011 when my wife...

Moscow State Circus
1/200sec, f/4, ISO 1000, 24mm I briefly mentioned in October’s review that I’d added a new lens to my collection. A few weeks ago my wife and I got tickets to go see the Moscow State Circus, finally...

Random London
On my way home from taking some photos of some photos at the Greenwood, I found myself wandering along the Strand on my route to Waterloo Station. This was just after I’d bought my new 24-105mm lens,...

November
November has been a bit of a lopsided month. It started out pretty strongly but my amount of posts tapered off towards the end of the month. This is kind of expected to be honest; November is a month...

World of Model Railways
Since we’re approaching Christmas, let’s talk about train sets. Everybody loves a train set for Christmas. Hell, if I had the space I’d be constantly badgering my wife for one. Space to have a train...

2013
2013 has been an interesting year for me, and as is traditional I end the year with a roundup of what happened in the, er, year. There really aren’t many synonyms I can think of for year. Someone...

2013 in Pictures
One of my favourites of the reflective posts I published at the start of 2013 was 2012 in Pictures. It was great to see a random assortment of my favourite photographs all mashed together in a single...

The End of Xmas
Every few years since I first got a DSLR, I’ve taken a shot entitled ‘the End of Xmas’, an image taken usually as we are de-decorating (or should that be corating?) the tree at the end of the Christmas...

Freddie
Just before Christmas my wife and I welcomed a new member to our family. No, not a baby. Not another new lens either – I’m not that far gone I’d consider a lens a new member of our family, not yet...

Three Years
1/100, f/4, ISO 2500, 28mm Three years ago today I started Creative Splurges. I started on a bit of a whim, thinking I might be encouraged to engage in more creative endeavours if I had somewhere to...

Still Life
I don’t really often do what most would consider ‘still life’. I generally associate the term with arranging items into an aesthetically pleasing arrangement and taking a shot of the sort you’d find in...

Monkeys
I’m continuing to work through my backlog. Sooner or later I’ll start calling it an archive and remove the guilt of not yet having posted so many images, but then I fear the impetus to actually publish...
