The next morning we were collected from the hotel and taken to the incredible railway station in Zhengzhou to start the real touristy bit of our China adventure in Beijing. It was HUGE and the trains equally impressive. Our taxi driver very kindly sorted out our tickets and guided us in the direction of our
With a new camera body to test, a lovely forecast (at least from 1400 onwards!) and Towcester Racecourse's final National Hunt racing meeting of the 2014/15 season, it was a bit of a no-brainer to once again take advantage of the course's free admission policy.
As I’ve still got lots of the China story to tell, I guess I’d best get on with it! The journey from Faku to Zhengzhou started at a fairly respectable hour. For some reason our drive back to Shenyang, from where we’d fly that afternoon, took us down a lovely wide dual carriageway – quite a long
After keeping her parents waiting for far longer than they’d hoped, baby Ashleigh finally entered the world in the early hours of 11 November, weighing in at 7lbs 5ozs. I’d also been waiting eagerly too, since Ashleigh would become my first new-born baby subject. I spent two one-hour sessions with Ashleigh and her doting parents (and dog!)
A free day last Thursday saw me revisit an old stomping ground for the first time in a good few years and for a rather different reason to those previous visits. I’m talking about Towcester Racecourse, located in my home county of Northamptonshire and about eight miles south-west of Northampton.

It was organised by a local model flying club but it was much more than just a remote-controlled airshow. As the name suggests, almost all of the activity took place after the sun had set, which made
The first show day proper at Faku’s Caihu Airport for the 3rd Shenyang Faku International Flight Convention and 2014 Shenyang Airshow was also sunny and hot. We had a surprise visitor in the hangar during the morning when a man brought his monkey to see us, as you do! Pete and Guy were only required to fly a single
Evening All, Well, I’m finally in the process of catching up on things following my trip to China where I supported the Twister Duo. It already seems like a lifetime ago, and I thought I’d share some of the experiences with you in a series of blog entries. We (Pete Wells, owner of Twister Aerobatics and team leader; Guy
The last few days have been quite hectic, but I wanted to put a quick blog post together before I embark upon the next leg of the journey.
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY! If you're reading this, as it says above, thank you for stopping by! While I've been taking pictures for almost a decade, it's only now that I'm about to embark upon a journey to try to make it as a professional photographer. It's both daunting and exciting, but definitely more so the latter! Before that,
