Garden Photography Award
Pleased to be working with the gardeners at Le Manoir, in Oxfordshire for the next 12 month and shooting the changing gardens through the seasons. On my first visit I took this image of some cherry blossom which scooped 3rd place in the Professional Garden Photographers Association monthly competition last month.
Keep posted for some more images from Le Manoir throughout the year!
Frosty Hellebore
Pleased to have just won third place in the PGPA image of the month with this image of a frosty Hellebore taken last month. Hoping for another cold snap to get some more frosty images before Spring appears.
Wisteria Hysteria
A client called me one afternoon to tell me the wisteria outside his workshop was looking its best. It took me just 15 minutes to get to his workshop and in that time someone had parked right outside the workshop infront of the wisteria. We tried a few addresses on the road to see if we could ask them to move their car for a few minutes but couldn’t track them down. We think they parked there and caught a bus into Oxford for the afternoon! Still on a positive note perhaps it adds to the image showing the length and sheer size of this wisteria! Allegedly this is the oldest wisteria in Oxfordshire.
Orchids in the Chilterns
I am lucky to have a client with wildflower meadows, woodland and SSSI areas in the Chilterns. This sumer he asked me to record the wild orchids that grow on his land.
Here are a few of my favourite images. These are all tiny flower heads so a macro lens and tripod are essential for the job and the hope of as little wind as possible due to working with such slow shutter speeds!
Bee Orchid in grasses – such beautiful detail!
Pyramidal Orchid
Butterfly Orchid
Fly Orchid
