This is a neolithic burial chamber called a portal dolmen. Its located between St Cleer and Darite in Cornwall.

The small hole in the capstone which may be for some sort astronomical observation. The rear stone has collapsed inside the chamber and explains the large tilt of the capstone.

1938 Voigtlander Bessa with Voigtar 11cm f/4.5 lens, 1/150 shutter, and leather case. Beside it, 1972 Fuji Neopan SSS J120 200 ASA film box, wrapper, and instruction sheet. This black and white film was developed in the 50's as Fuji's answer to Ilford HP and Kodak Tri-X. Fuji started making film in the 30's, beginning with roll film and then 35mm, with speeds of around 40 ISO.

The day I saw a group of coyotes chasing a group of deer and turkeys in the woods. I had never been in the middle of such a hunt before. The coyotes saw me and kept their distance to pursue their prey, for a moment I thought I might have to fight. Later, after the coyotes had moved on, I got trapped in a group of large male deer, but was able to make a detour to get around them, and they did not pursue me as some braver ones had in the past. An exciting and unusual day.

The Bass Rock sits just beyond the mouth of the Firth of Forth in East Lothian, a volcanic outcrop now uninhabited but previously home to a hermit.

As seen looking southwest from Cat Bells, showing the pass towards Buttermere, and the Grasmoor, Robinson and Red Pike peaks in the distance.

Lens: Pentax DA 50mm f/1.8 with the Raynox M-250

Crayfish Pool, Blue Mountains, NSW.

One of my favourite trees - I like the angle at which it reclines into the wind and the pure emptiness into the distance.

Unusual tricks: custom home-made sensor ICC profile; the ground is shot at 1/30s but the sky merged from a second exposure of over a minute. Fast and slow in one image.
