This past couple of weeks I've been doing some paranormal investigations over Cannock Chase with a friend, where I managed to get this image of a Europeian Garden Spider - You can check out Dave's video of the ghostly encounters here: https://youtu.be/HXUKbZ72rBY?si=JuPe1...

huge thank you to everyone who came along to my Introduction to Macro Photography talk today at the @waleswestphoto 🐞📸
It was fantastic to see so many of you interested in exploring the miniature world through a lens, and I really appreciated all the questions and conversations after the session.

If you’re keen to take your macro photography to the next level, don’t miss tomorrow’s talk: “Introduction to Focus Stacking” same place, 1PM on the Creator Stage. I’ll be breaking down how and why macro photographers use focus stacking to overcome shallow depth of field and get razor-sharp results.

Hope to see you there!

🎤 I’ll be speaking at the Wales & West Photography Show! 🕷📸
Next week, I’ll be at the Wales and West Photography Show for all three days, and I’m giving two talks on the Creator Stage:
🗓 Thursday 19 June at 14:00
🔹 Introduction to Macro Photography
Learn how to get started in macro photography, what gear you need, and tips for capturing stunning close-up shots—even in your own garden!
🗓 Friday 20 June at 13:00
🔹 Introduction to Focus Stacking
Struggling to get enough depth of field in your macro shots? I’ll walk you through why focus stacking matters, how to do it, and what tools can help.
📍 I’ll be around for the full show, so come say hello, ask questions, or chat all things macro!
👉 Let me know if you’re coming—I’d love to meet some of you in person.

🚨 New Photography Community Just Launched! 🚨

My good friend ‪@glyndewis‬ has just started a brand-new community for photographers, and while it’s early days, there’s already a real buzz and tons of potential.

This isn’t another social media platform. It’s a safe, supportive space built specifically for photographers to connect, share, learn, and grow — without the noise, algorithms, or pressure.

I’ve joined, and I’m excited to see where it goes. If you’re looking for a creative space that actually feels good to be part of, check it out:
👉 www.skool.com/signup?ref=bbef626cbcfb43009ca95dc5f…

Let’s help build something brilliant together 🙌

🚫 Ads Gone Wild?
Just a heads-up—YouTube has started inserting automatic mid-roll ads, and they’re being way too aggressive. 😒

My latest 20-minute video had five ads, even though I turned mid-rolls off. This isn’t what I want for my viewers, and I’m actively working to remove the extras manually.

I always aim to give you a smooth, uninterrupted experience. Appreciate your patience while I fight the algorithm on this one! 💪🎥
