Fireworks at the Quays

I had been waiting for fireworks night for a long time so that I could capture some slow shutter shots like this one. It is a shame the fireworks weren't being fired from the right of the Spinnaker Tower as this would have enabled me to frame the image, but there is always next year I suppose.

St Malo Chapel

This image of the St Malo Church was captured on a trip sailing along the Bretagne coastline. The architecture of this city really captured my attention and the light on this particular day was perfect for a silhouette shot that would highlight the bold limestone structure.

I captured this shot of an amphitheatre on a recent trip to the small town El Djem, Tunisia. The sheer splendour of this ancient venue could only be captured with a panoramic shot. I also love how the blue sky highlights the magnificent arches that ran all around the outside of stone structure.

This shot was also taken in Tunisia. I got up at 4am in order to capture the sun rising over this salt lake. The boat was situated perfectly to round of what otherwise may have been a relatively boring sunrise.

This is an image that i captured which incorporates the HMS Marlborough figurehead and Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower. I was looking for an alternative angle to photograph the tower along with a way of linking the Portsmouth’s naval history with the new modern appearance that it is presented through Gunwharf Quays.

I know the Spinnaker Tower is one of the most photographed buildings in the UK but I still like this shot that I captured. There was a very convenient light behind me, which helped to illuminate the rocks in the foreground. It gives this image a staged feel. My worst enemy – the orange reflection of the streetlights on the clouds doesn’t help this image. Ah well better brush up on my Photoshop skills and republish it.

Taken with a blue filter this night shot worked well with all of the traffic streaming towards me. The picture was taken in my early photography stages but I experimented and often that is how I develop my best shots.
