Autumn colours at Cragside 🍂📷

A beautiful day at Nelly's Moss Lakes, Cragside in Northumberland.

There’s something special about autumn light. The golden trees, the stillness of the water and that wonderful blue sky made this a scene I simply had to stop and capture.

I particularly loved the contrast between the rich autumn colours and the deep greens of the woodland, with those wispy clouds stretching across the sky.

One of those lovely moments when nature does all the hard work and I just get to enjoy it through the lens.

A blast from the past. This was taken in Leicestershire several years ago and features my 2 Spaniels, Sam and Charlie - sadly no longer with us. It was a cold grey morning and, as you can hopefully tell, very foggy. The boys were watching something out on the water (probably a stick knowing them!).

One of my best shots of the famous Me BF109E "Yellow10" (aka the Hispano HA-1112-M1L Buchon) - taken at IWM Duxford a couple of years ago now, but still one of my favourites!

I love taking shots of fast jets and the big noisy stuff - but you absolutely cannot beat the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine and I'm almost always drawn back to the warbirds.

What's your favourite warbird?

Boot’s Folly — Chasing the Last Light

There’s a brief moment at the end of the day when everything changes.

The landscape falls quietly into shadow, the light begins to fade… and then the sky puts on one final show.

Friday evening above Strines Reservoir, with Boot’s Folly standing alone against a sky filled with the last golden light of the day.

No dramatic planning. Just being there at the right moment, camera in hand, watching the colours shift and waiting for the light.

Sometimes the best photographs are simply about knowing when not to pack the camera away.

🐦 Everyone loves a Robin… but how about this little character?

A Great Crested Grebe chick, complete with those fantastic black-and-white stripes.

There's something slightly prehistoric-looking about young Grebes — particularly when they stretch that long neck out!

I spotted this youngster out on the water and couldn't resist getting a few shots. Definitely not quite as colourful as yesterday's Robin, but every bit as photogenic.

One of the things I love about wildlife photography is that you never really know what you're going to come across next.

❤️ Always love a Robin photo…

I don't think I'll ever get tired of photographing these little characters.

This one stopped just long enough for a portrait yesterday at Ferry Meadows, Nene Valley Park, Peterborough.

I particularly liked the light coming through the leaves on this one — lots going on around him, but that unmistakable orange breast still jumps straight out of the frame.

Sometimes you don't need anything rare or exotic. Just a Robin in some lovely light.

🔥 THREE SHOTS. TWO AFTERBURNERS. ONE QUESTION…

Which is your favourite — 1, 2 or 3?

The Dassault Rafale putting on a spectacular display at RAF Cosford Air Show 2026.

There are few things quite as impressive as seeing a fast jet light the burners, and from a photography point of view, I love how different these three moments are.

🔥 1 — banking hard, both afterburners glowing
🔥 2 — powering away with that fantastic heat haze and colour
🔥 3 — almost straight down the exhausts, with those two rings of fire dominating the shot

I keep changing my mind between 1 and 3...

So, over to you.

👇 Which gets your vote — 1, 2 or 3?

🏰 I’m really excited to finally be able to offer this one for sale.

You might recognise this photograph of Corfe Castle from a post I shared recently. It was taken from around two miles away, and I loved the way the distance showed not just the castle itself, but how completely it dominates the surrounding Purbeck landscape.

It’s one of those photographs that I knew I wanted to do something more with, so I’m delighted to say it is now available through the Silent Shutter Photography website as a signed and numbered Limited Edition fine art print.

Each print is produced on beautiful Hahnemühle German Etching Giclée paper, individually signed and numbered, and comes with its own Certificate of Authenticity.

There are four sizes available, with increasingly limited editions — right up to the largest 100 × 70cm, of which only 10 will ever be produced.

Framed and unframed options are available.

I’m genuinely rather proud to have this one in the collection. 😊
