This is the first time I caught lightning, I have posted this previously, but forgot that I had edited it in Lightroom to bring out the depth of field

6:30am on a September morning in the New Forest, it doesn't get much better than this. Five minutes from my house, I am surrounded by beauty.

Working with a lovely professional model for the first time. I'm more than pleased with my first effort in this genre

Photo of mine for a client for her ebook on health and nutrition. This is a herbal tea made from thyme, rosemary and sage.

Somewhere in the New Forest, there is this. I made my way through about 100 yards of 6ft high bracken, and ended up here, so I'm pretty sure not

One of my photos that I took for a client.

I just found the shell like this, at the bottom of a small sand dune, whatever is living inside must have been having some fun.

A very mesmerising sunset at Mudeford Quay this evening. My hunch paid off that we were going to be in for a treat.

Made famous by the Hovis Bread commercial.

Just leaving Stonehenge, on my way back to my car, turned round and it silhouetted against the evening sky. Had to take a shot.

Misty morning greeted by the brightest sun on an ethereal Autumn morning in the New Forest.

I was so impressed with the clarity of the Zenergising photo, that I took a crop of the raindrops and rain. The vibrancy of the colours, the fresh sp

The New Forest is a very welcoming place, you will feel right at home.

Feedback

Be mindful of being in the presence of a wild animal. Strictly speaking the New Forest ponies belong to the commoners of the New Forest, but they are free roaming ponies, therefore have a wild nature to them, and like any wild animal will feel threatened if you get too close, or hang around too long, especially if they have any young nearby. Get your camera ready before you approach, so that you're not faffing about and wasting time, and causing any anxiety to an animal. Be quick, and only take a few frames, then leave them in peace. Showing respect and being ready is probably the best advice anyone can give when photographing wildlife.
