Flakse: a Norwegian word for the gentle flutter of wings, a brief movement that disturbs still air. It is how space shifts, how light adjusts, how small moments can carry the weight of our times. Within frames, we try to hold these quiet shifts, shaping how we see. #photography

A full colour illustration of a Ringed Plover standing on a rock on a beach. Behind is a boat wreck and beyond that cliffs.

I'm going to put down the Ringed Plover now; this is how it's looking.

I added some stones and other details.

A few weeks back we met up BBC Shropshire to record a collection of stories taken from 'The Folklore of the Tanat Valley - Chwedlau Gwerin Dyffryn Tanat' for their 'Secret Shropshire' series, on location at Llanymynech Hill.

You can find the episode here:

CYBORG or just a mannequin head in a shop window! Not quite sure which #ArtChallenge category this fits in! Maybe #WindowsOnWednesday or even #WhackyWednesdayArt ? #Photography #EastCoastKin #MicroFourThirds #M43 #Lumix

Pleased to have played a part in making this happen

A ghostly exploration of a wonderful tradition 👻

I'd have business cards printed too Andy! What a lovely job tittle :-)

Might add "dew pond maker" to my LinkedIn profile

No one wants a last minute gift for a loved one's Halloween? Forget stale old Christmas!

'show' myself out 😱

Me too! I will need to back to the RAW files as I went through a phase of exporting files at 800px 'for social media use' 🫣 Do you known what the future of XH558 is please?

Is the shop still open? I'll shop myself out... 🫣 #AwfulShropshireJoke

The Norman church of St Mary's Knockin was constructed between 1182 and 1195 by Ralph Le Strange and began life as a chapel to the adjacent castle (of which only a tree-covered mound survives). Despite being gutted by fire in 1767, the church retains many original features including a font, the Norman arches of the disappeared north transcept and what is said to be the best priests door in the county... which is now blocked-up!

The north county church alighted in #Knockin this afternoon at the beautiful Norman church of St Mary's, which dates from 1182. Despite being gutted by fire in the late 18th century it retains many original features and some striking stained glass. A visit is highly recommended!

Photo of Vulcan XH558 climbing steeply during a simulated aborted landing at Abingdon in 2011

Ten year ago today was the last flight of Avro Vulcan XH558. I wrote this about my efforts to get one decent photograph of the Tin Triangle twittervforce.com/blog/?p=897

I photographed XH558 at Cosford Airshow in 2009 - a very special aeroplane :-)

A book containing tea toned Cyanotypes. The prints are of jackdaws, starlings, crows and a snow landscape- the colours are black and a cream/light brown.

I started this project a while ago & then events in life put it on the back burner. I’m hoping to pick it up again soon.

I always start a body of work with a lot of experimenting with printing, papers & processes and put them into a scrapbook. These are tea toned Cyanotypes on Japanese paper.

With the books now all with me I can begin the fulfillment process for the 250 books preordered in the kickstarter and since.
Each book needs to be signed, placed in its bubble wrap, then cardboard wrap with the postcard and then the various printed labels attached, before it...
