As a photographer and mentor, my goal is that clients enjoy what I do, and that I can inspire them to do what I enjoy.

Read MoreThe previously mentioned Blue Peackcocks had with them a pair of Peahen consorts; one of which, in flight, did a passable impression of a Griffin Vulture!
While Blue Peacocks are not indigenous to Devon, UK, these youngsters were nevertheless welcome and colourful visitors to our secluded cabin
Final pics from Austin Texas. Jubilant winner, Kimi Raikkonen climbing out of (and onto) his car, and post race podium celebrations.
A few random shots during the US F1 GP. Mainly from the final turn onto the pit straight

2. Lewis Hamilton indulging in some instagram work during the driver parade
3. The trophy being delivered to the circuit from above
4. Surprise for the cameraman on the cherry picker!
The absence of Gray (Tree Rat) Squirrels, where I am located in Wisconsin, provided an opportunity for this delightful American Red Squirrel...and an opportunity for my camera.
A short period out, in the bitter cold and snow flurries, the grounds of my friends' lakeside home. Bay Breasted Warbler and a Hermit Thrush with a colourful Fall back drop
A blustery morning at Radipole wildlife reserve (at least the rain held off) kept most of the expected bird life hunkered down - save for a discreet Grey Heron, a distant hovering Kestrel and an "exocet" Cormorant.
Ohhh! Wish we were there! Have had to cancel our trip from next weekend as Gid’s surgery date brought forward. Have a great trip to the USA xx
First few random shots from yesterday morning's productive few hours in the company of a frequently obliging Kingfisher
A few more from Silverstone - Charles Le Clerc, Kevin Magnussen and Fernando Alonso hitting the loud pedal on the exit of the pit lane
Indebted to McLaren for access to their garage while operational. Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne wired for sound, vision and more besides. Patiently waiting for final checks before leaving the garages
Fantastic day at Silverstone courtesy of Hilton Hotels & Resorts and McLaren F1. Different viewing / photo opportunities than previously documented race weekends, with various pics to follow - including from within operational McLaren pit garage.
In the meantime, first random shot out of the bag is Red Bull's Daniel Ricardo, flat out on high fuel load through the fast Turn 1, lighting up the side of his floor and the tarmac behind with sparks from grounding the forward titanium skid plate
Got all excited by this pair of wonderfully iridescent ducks which I had never seen before. Turns out that they are Cayuga Ducks and are actually a breed of domestic duck principally in the US. They still look impressive in the right light.
The Barcelona trip wasn't entirely about 200mph lumps of carbon fibre and people in fireproof race suits. There are a fair few local Monk Parakeets nesting in the crowns of palm trees. Most birds take nesting materials to the tree. This one appeared to be trying to take the tree to the nest!!
Almost done with sifting through the results of the Barcelona trip. Lewis Hamilton's 2.3 second pit stop by the Mercedes AMG Petronas team.
I am expecting the same degree of enthusiasm and military precision when I next take my car in for service at the local Mercedes dealership!!
"Local boy" Fernando Alonso passing my view point, in his McLaren, on the main straight at Circuit de Catalunya
My time in Barcelona was focussed principally on the Formula One, and there was little time to appreciate the architecture of the city, both old and new. However the renowned Gothic Cathedral did not escape the lens.
Podium celebrations at Circuit De Catalunya, Barcelona
Lewis Hamilton showering his engineers, down below, with $3000 of Carbon champagne may seem like a waste, but it makes for a good photo op!
