My work hosted a colourful paint-based charity fun run in aid of St Richard's Hospice. I had a hard time keeping the paint away from my camera, but a fabulous photo op. This is 2/4.

Part of a photoshoot I did for my daughter's birthday. This is her with her young family.

Three days spent at the National Pony Society's show at the Three Counties Showground made from some good practice at action shots.

I volunteered to help at a local BLM protest yesterday and managed to capture some great images but this is my favourite. I wish I'd got the girls' contact details now to thank them.

My work colleague's hair looked amazing with an autumn sun and the leaves on the trees.

The hand of my brand new granddaughter, just a few hours old. For those that don't know, the title is the Irish word for "new".

It has clearly been a tough day. 🙂

Sweet dreams little one.

A British Cycling cyclo-cross race that took place at my work. I liked the silhouettes of the participants against the sunset.

A walk along the beach at Portishead, near Bristol, was pleasantly interupted by some cool skaters performing ramp based tricks. Good practice on some fast focusing.

Cheekiness personified.

Having a little play with my new HTC One M8. This couple were at the bar and far too interested in each other to worry about me taking their picture.

Time I visited the doctors I think. No I'm not in need of moisturiser, just some fun with Photoshop.

My beautiful granddaughters are colluding whilst sat next to a lamp that provides great colour and mood. Its probably best I don't know what is being said.

My grandson is slightly obsessed with superheroes and so a little dress-up and Photoshop fun was in order.

Sometimes I need reminding that photography doesn't have to be a grand statement. Sometimes it is just about a little self-reflection.

My first attempt at a self portrait. I'm not 100% happy and will try again, but it is a good first attempt I think.

Another shot of my new granddaughter. A tricky one with the sunlight the way it was and I didn't quite pull it off but it was a good learning experience.

Two of my children on a trampoline. I took about 50 shots and this was one of only two where they were both in the air at the same time. It is a shame that one face is covered. Next time I'll take 100 shots.

Perhaps a little clichéd but this Rose was so stunning and Lauren is the perfect garden imp.

Whilst on a climbing trip in the French Alps I was attempting to get a shot that, for me, illustrated the feeling that climbing gives. My good friend was close to topping out on a 6c whilst the sun was cooking the rock. I actually combined three separate photographs to get this shot as each had elements I liked.

Taken from near the summit of Herefordshire Beacon in the Malvern Hills. My two granddaughters contemplate the path ahead, whilst I contemplate their futures and all the possibilities they hold.

Just had her bath and now its time for bed.

A friend asked me to photograph their wedding which was a huge terrifying responsibility, but enjoyable eventually. This is the flowergirl who was very photogenic.

The son of my friend lost in thought as he stares into the fading embers of a chiminea.

I don't normally do any processing "in camera" preferring to shoot in RAW, however it is always worthwhile knowing what your camera can do. This is the "dramatic" setting and I'm actually quite pleased with how it turned out whilst shooting my eldest granddaughter.

I realise I'm biased but I think I did a good job in producing some beautiful young ladies. I took this on the shores of the med with a lovely sunset for lighting and just a touch of flash to bring out their features.
