2012 was, as always, very busy, with major trips to Mallorca, the Picos de Europa in northern Sapin and Cornwall, mainly to get images for my forthcoming book: Digital Plant Photography, to be published later this spring by Bloomsbury Publishing. This will look at at all aspects of Digital Plant Photography, including high speed and time lapse, focus stacking and panoramic imaging as well as photographing plants in a range of habitats.

Increasingly, much of my recent work has concentrated on photographing environmental issues, such as the effects of global warming, or the effect that alien, introduced species such as New Zealand Swamp Weed or Japanese Knotweed are having on our native vegetation. I hope to extend this work next year with photography of introduced animals such as beavers, wild boar and parakeets.

A very exciting new workshop in 2012 was photographing tropical butterflies in the glasshouse at the RHS garden at Wisley. This was a unique opportunity to see the butterflies before the general public are allowed in! We are planning two more in 2013, along with a series of other workshops at the garden. See the workshop page for details and dates.

I am currently completetly re-vamping this site, and hope to have the new one on line within a few weeks, including, hopefully, a Blog.
