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

Whilst photographing Luka on his rock all of a sudden he propped his head up and to the side as if he had heard someone say "food" or something he didn't agree with!

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

A small lovelock bridge located close to the old town and main train station.

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

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

My first attempt at playing around with a crystal ball for shooting. Interesting to say the least with plenty of other attempts before this one came out!

Luka inquisitively staring whilst perched happily on his rock.

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!

An early morning capture looking down Mariacka street. Fortunately this was before the hoards of tourists turned up.

So there we were on our 2nd day in Iceland in February, about to embark on a trip to Þingvellir national park in hope of seeing the aurora borealis. The leader of the group indicated our chances seemed minimal as they hadn't been seen for the best part of 10 days. Despite the opinion there was still part of me that held out hope. We embarked from Reykjavik at about 19:45 on what felt like a journey into the darkness. The further behind Reykjavik was, so was the light pollution and the darkness embraced us.

Upon arriving in the national park, a little wooden shack with a cafe was all that was in sight, behind it a large vast meadow covered in snow. I wondered out into the snow and waited for what felt like a lifetime. Nearly 3 hours into sub-zero temperatures my 10 second captures started picking up a glow. I wandered a little further as crowds of tourists started to appear trying to photograph them with their flashes on -_-. Before I knew it I was stood knee deep in snow, in sub-zero temperatures risking hypothermia for the shot I was praying would happen.

Before I knew it the sky seemed to explode in green and pink tones and dance around in front of me and over my head. 10 minutes I will never repeat nor ever forget.

Taiga one of the adult Amur tigers casually relaxing less than 3 feet away from me. Just after I took the shot she turned and faced me dead on and stepped right towards me.....I may have fallen backwards at that point!

All my photos can be purchased - please email & I can make them available on www.redbubble.com

Taiga taking a stroll and looking around with one of her cubs relaxing in the background

One of my first attempts at a double exposure...to this day I;m not quite sure if I like it or not.

An early morning capture under the walkway of the Cloth Hall in the main town square. Any other time of day and this would be swarming with people...

After realising she wasn't camouflaged Lena decided to relax up in her tree. There she decided to nap for what felt like hours...

A random night in playing with sparklers hand held.....note to self....use a tripod next time!
