Iceland August 2014
Nine days in Iceland in early August 2014 starting with a couple of days in Reykjavík, sampling the food and beer, and shopping for emergency clothes & camping gear thanks to Kate’s bag not arriving.

Judging from the slow-motion breakdancing, they don’t encounter cushions much in the wild, as it gave a pretty poor demonstration of … Continue reading Froghopper

Sparrowhawk
Just glanced out the front window of the flat and saw it perched on the roof opposite. Managed to get the camera and take two shots just as it swooped down after something, instantly mobbed by crows, and disappeared from sight. Continue reading Sparrowhawk
I’m eyeballing you.
Turns out taking photos of your eyeball with a macro flash set-up is a great way to give yourself a headache. Continue reading I’m eyeballing you.
