Hamburg and Berlin, Germany, 2024

I wanted to visit Germany, and Godotcon 2024 provided the perfect excuse. I went to Hamburg for two nights to visit Miniatur Wunderland, the largest model railway in the world. I stayed in Berlin for four nights for the conference and explore the city. They say the best camera is the one you have with you, and I had a Google Pixel 7 Pro.

Bridge in the Japanese garden at Planten un Blomen, Hamburg, with the Heinrich Hertz Tower behind. I like the bold yellow colour with the water reflections behind.

Athens and Delphi, Greece, 2023

In 2023, I had an eye operation and I was unable to use screens for two weeks. I listened to the Percy Jackson book series and it inspired me to go to Greece as soon as I had recovered. I spent four nights in Athens and did a day trip to Delphi; I visited many museums and archeological sites. They say the best camera is the one you have with you, and I had a Google Pixel 4a.

A cat in the ancient agora of Athens. I like the composition and how happy the cat looks. Treasury of Athens, Delphi. The view from the mountain side was incredibly beautiful. It had just rained which adds to the lighting. Temple of Apollo, Delphi. Tholos of Athena, Delphi. The view from Delphi to the Gulf of Corinth. I love the sun rays in the distance, with the contrast between the light there and the cloudliness up close. The Oracle of Delphi? A very friendly cat I pet whilst I waited for the coach back. View of Mount Olympus (I think) from a plane.

Assorted smartphone photography, 2017-2025

They say the best camera is the one you have with you. Here are some of the best photos I’ve taken with a smartphone.

A coastal footpath in Falmouth, Cornwall. I love the contrast between the sunlight in the foreground and the dark background. A waterfall in Cheddar. I like how the water divides the photo in half, and how much energy there is in the water. A tree in the Cheddar hills. Looks like a Windows XP wallpaper. A bench overlooking the Matterhorn - Zermatt, Switzerland. Queens Square, my favourite area of Bristol. I like the lighting in this photo and feel like it captures the energy of the square well. An old stone wall in the Lake District. I like the many layers of depth in this photo, and the way that the tree frames it. Ducks. I like the composition with the river and the tree in the background. The local population of Wales. I like the verticality of this picture. More of the local population of Wales. A river and bridge in a small village in Wales. Brandon Hill, Bristol.

My favourite childhood photography, 2008-2013

On my 11th birthday, I asked for a camera and received a Fujifilm FinePix S5800 bridge camera. It did not leave my side for the next 5 years. Here are some of my favourite pictures I took with it.
