Below stairs at Speke Hall 🕯️
The servants hall - table laid, lamp glowing, checkered floor that’s seen 400 years of footsteps. No filter needed, just that one warm bulb against the leaded windows.
Shot handheld on iPhone 15 Pro Max - that low light performance is unreal.

A moment with the locals 🐿️
This little red squirrel on Caldey Island, Tenby - sat perfectly still for 2 seconds. Just long enough.
Caldey is one of the last strongholds for reds in Wales, no greys allowed on the island. So special to see them so relaxed.

Have you been to Caldey? The boat trip alone is worth it.

Sunset to blackout with ZZ531 🌅➡️🌑

Wildcat HMA2 ZZ531 / HMS PRINCE OF WALES on the pan at Threshold.aero’s night shoot. From golden hour to full night photography, this airframe was an absolute gift to shoot.
Huge thanks to the crew and the organisers for making it happen.

RAF RESCUE.

For over 40 years this colour meant help was coming.

This is XZ597, a Westland WS-61 Sea King HAR3, the RAF’s all-weather search and rescue workhorse. One of the famous yellow SAR fleet that flew hundreds of missions rescuing mountaineers, hillwalkers, sailors and aircrew around the UK.

The type first entered service in 1969 and the final aircraft were retired from the active inventory on 30 September 2018. The RAF chapter ended when the final distinctive yellow Sea King departed RAF Valley on 15 September 2015, bringing to an end nearly 40 years of service with the RAF.

Now registered G-SKNG, XZ597 has been restored to flying condition by the Historic Helicopter Group in Chard, Somerset and is back in the air doing what she was built for - on the winch.

The numbers behind the icon: max speed 208km/h, climb rate 10.3m/s, range 1,230km, service ceiling 3,050m, max take-off weight 9,707kg. But the number that matters most is the thousands brought home safe.

That yellow paint saved thousands of lives. Brilliant to see it in the air again.

Would you stop and watch if you saw yellow coming?

Sally B on the pan.
The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress up close — glass nose with that little teddy in the window, pin-up art on the side, four big radials with the yellow tips, and the ground crew with the tug and bomb trolley getting her ready.
You can almost hear the Wright Cyclones warming up. A living piece of history that still stops everyone on the airfield.
Shot on the ground — which do you prefer, tight on the nose or the full working scene?

Briefing on the grass.
Living history around a Supermarine Spitfire — no hangar, just green grass, that RAF roundel glowing, and a full crew in 1940s kit talking through the next sortie. The way he’s pointing at the tail, her with the clipboard — it’s like you’ve stepped back 80 years.
Shot at the airfield show. One aircraft, one story, told in 5 frames.

Wyre Forest Series — Part 1: St Mary and All Saints Church, Kidderminster.

Starting where it all started for the town. Grade I listed, 15th/16th century tower with that iconic blue clock face, but it’s the details that got me on this shoot — weathered gargoyles on the turret, the stone rose window, the hand-forged iron hinges on the old doorway, and then that view back from the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal lock.

This church has watched over Kidderminster for over 800 years.

Still dominates the skyline.

Stay alert for the next part of the series

This is 1 of my Wyre Forest local heritage series.

Eggs-traordinary breakfast served 🥚☕

One brown egg + two tiny figures + a whole lot of patience.

For this month’s still life theme I wanted to do more than fruit in a bowl. Shot this miniature breakfast scene balanced right on top of the egg itself. The blue was intentional to make that speckled shell pop.

Question for my fellow camera club folks in Kidderminster / Wyre Forest - would this work for competition?

What would you title it if you were entering it?
