My canvases, framed prints and acrylics – Over the past couple of weeks, I have put lots of work into the store page. On looking at the page, not a lot seems to have changed, it just looks like I have added more products but when you click a product you will notice that things have changed quite a lot.

I love a challenge and photographing in mist certainly is a challenge, mist can make or break images for sure… The first photo opportunity I came across […]
Butterfly Photography for beginners is the title and today I was the beginner at the Butterfly House near Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. https://www.butterflyhouse.co.uk Every now and then I like going out of my landscape photography comfort zone and today was one of those days. I fancied getting hot and sweaty in the tropical house and trying my hand at some butterfly photography.
