The Kelpies of Scotland

As a local memorial sequence for the people of Alcester this reflects Alcester, Warwickshire, Before, During and After World War 1. The pieces of music selected from AKM Historic CD Album suggests Foreboding, Peacefulness, The War, Celebration and Memorial Dedication. The Pictures are from the 1900 to 1921. The sequence is intended to run as a repeating (kiosk) showing in a Globe House public exhibition during August, advertising a fuller version to be shown publically on September 5th. The full version has already been shown to 140 people at a British Legion Meeting for their funds, and it was estimated that twice the number of tickets could have been sold. It was sold out a fortnight before the event!

I met Bob Godfrey through the slide show that is published here. Bob had been involved with photography most of his life and when I saw this sequence shown in an AV competition I contacted Bob and asked if I could show this to some of our UK friends. Not only did he agree, but we became mates and we had some great caravan/photography trips together over the past 5 years.

Sadly, Bob had a long term illness that took him from us in June this year, he was 72. Bob was always keen to share his audio visuals and he would love to know that even after he had gone, he was making people smile. I think this slide show sums up the Australian spirit & humour and particularly Bob's spirit.

I hope it makes you smile too

Icebergs are called Ilulissat in Greenlandic. Ilulissat is the third largest town in Greenland and is set in marvellous surroundings at Ilulissat Icefjord which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here enormous icebergs run aground at the mouth of the fjord, just outside the town, which originate from the Jakobshavn Glacier, one of the most productive glaciers in the northern hemisphere.

These photographs were taken on a recent visit in early June this year.

‘Russian Onions’ is a collection of the distinctive architectural church domes I photographed on a recent trip to Russia. These domes were created to allow the weight of the heavy Russian snows to slide off. Though I was captivated by these domes, I was even more impressed attending the Orthodox services in the churches. However, in most of them, photography was not permitted. One that allows photography is the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg (the last set of images). (3:41)

A slideshow of some images I have taken over a number of years. Most are within a short drive of my home some from a little further afield. They show a variation of conditions from balmy summer to winter snow, stormy seas and approaching Atlantic storm.
I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do.

I have been privileged to visit Alberta in Canada and love visiting Elbow Falls (approximately 40 miles west of Calgary). Unfortunately, the area was devastated by floods in June 2013. I would just like to post this 'tribute' to how the place once looked. Can't wait to go back because, although there's been a lot of damage, it's, no doubt, as beautiful and peaceful as ever, but in a different way.

Photographed in April in the Western and Southern Highlands. The high mountain ridge photographs were taken by my son as I regret to say my high mountain days are over.

Dutch tulips are famous, and the colours to!

I have had these images for over a year waiting for some inspiration to use them. Take a look at the interior of the old truck. It must have sat in that spot for the past 20 years at least, possibly 30, yet the keys are in the ignition.

Optimistic or what?

This slideshow was photographed at the Blists Hill living museum at Ironbridge.
I have been visiting this place for several years and have made various Pictures to Exe slideshow of it.
This is my latest updated slideshow made with images from all of these visits.
I would recommend a visit to this museum to anyone, a great place to spend a few hours.

Could be said it's a show of two halves (to coin a phrase :-) ). Didn't want it to be too touristy, so changed the mood and added some street photography. It's not a new sequence as you will note from a few of the images. Hope you like

A number of visits to the local Botanical Gardens and quite a lot of time spent trying to get the flow of images just right. The balance between the image, the music flow and the transition. Some images shot specially for the differential focus techniques.

The images were all shot with a Sigma 105mm macro lens
