So having spent a morning out with the camera Taiga and her cubs, Mischa, Pasha and Tatana were all feeling very photogenic!

HDR - Winter

Bit of condensation on the window....how does it look in macro....need to try harder next time!

The view of the traditional red rooftops of Prague from the walk up to the castle.

Whilst down on a weekend in Newquay, being able to sit on the decking and take in the sunshine with a nice cup of Cornish Coffee really was an opportunity to relax.

A cold morning in Nyhavn Copenhagen on an overnight stay exploring the city

When life gives you limes...photograph them!

Taiga relaxing and watching Mischa, Pasha and Tatana get upto mischief

Walking around the old Jewish quarter in Kazimierz to see such street art is amazing. Given the atrocities suffered at the hands of the Nazi's in WW2 it shows the tenacity in the mood of the city.

One of my very first attempts with my macro lens. Plenty of hard work to be done to master it, but I love capabilities already.

So many great angles for this beautiful bridge.

Long exposure, ND 1000 filter + gradual neutral filter

-Added to theCream of the Crop pool as most interesting.

Momentary departure of the Barcolana the largest Sailing race in the world

The Red Panda was being particularly illusive when I was trying to photograph it....then when I could it stuck its damn tongue out! The cheek of it!

Some of the bunks prisoners were forced to stay in whilst awaiting a rather bias trial at the hands of the SS.

A classic vespa infront of the Green Gate in old town Gdansk

One of the twin fountains in the Piazza Farnese. This one had some retro bicycles which made it all the better...

This is a bucket list item for me. In fact, this is one of the places that inspired me to get into serious landscape photography. When I first saw this geyser, I could not beleive it was real. It is!

This is not an easy place to get to. To catch sunrise, I left my home at midnight and drove through the night. I really wanted to show this in a way that has not been seen before. I shot a few hundred images here, and none show the typical views of this wonderful place. It was so hard to pick the first release from this great sequence!

Neptune's fountain looking up to the Old Town Hall in Dlugi Targ Square on a very cold evening in Gdansk.

The Cloth Hall in all its glory in the Rynek Glowny in the old town of Krakow.

Just some of the shoes that were stolen from prisoners of Auschwitz during the time it was in operation.

The grill of this 1949 Buick Road Master is simple iconic.

Luka inquisitively staring whilst perched happily on his rock.

The double electric fences between parts of Auschwitz. For some a reminder of their daily horror, and for others a last resort.

Having decided to have another play around with the macro lens this time for a 2nd attempt, I was looking for something with vibrant colours and a bit of character. I didn't however expect it to be an elastic band ball!

After 10 or so attempts at seeing the Amur Leopard Cubs at Colchester Zoo we happened to be in the right place at the right time. After 30 minutes of standing around Luka emerged perched on a rock staring directly at me. Not quite as small as I had of hoped they still were but beautiful to photoshoot none the less

basdus: Nice shot #lookingup (by the way, why is the letter 'i' next to 'o' on my keyboard? Makes it tricky when typing 'nice shot'. Narrow escape! ;-)
