I have recently become the owner of a Nikon D800 and some new lenses. Yes, I know, its not a big deal really, but in the process of making the upgrade (I have been shooting on a Nikon D80 for 7 years now) I gave myself some hurdles to jump over before jumping in and…
I had never been to Tofino before. I loved the idea of a Canadian Surfing resort. Most peoples understanding of Canada is that it is a frozen Tundra for 9 months of the year and then has a brief and intense 3 week summer. Well, in some parts of Canada (like the Arctic) that may…
I love breathtaking images of a wide vista from a place I have never seen before. I especially love an image like that if it is full of visual information. As a landscape photographer, I love my wide angle lens. I love it for a few reasons, I can fit more into the scene than…
It is never easy to predict the future, at best its risky. However, if you get it right, you are seen as a guru, get it wrong and you are a charlatan looking for attention. So, most people avoid trying to predict the future as it is notoriously difficult to know (Just ask any meteorologist!)…

We had a really good time at Chacra Millalen. The setting was absolutely beautiful, we were surrounded on three sides by some amazing mountains each of which was 2km high or taller. On our first night there, snow fell on the mountains overnight, so here are some of the images I captured on the days…
We have been working on a farm in El Hoyo for the past week and they don’t have any internet access on the farm for us to use. So, today we came into the town of El Bolson (15 Jan) to book our bus tickets to Calafate and check emails etc. We are leaving El…
Bariloche has some amazing attractions and if the weather is good, you have to get out there and see them. Bariloche’s climate can change rapidly in a day from being reasonably warm and calm in the morning to winds so strong in the afternoon that the lake is whipped up into sea sized waves and…
