I spent three weeks in November and December travelling around the US south west and the forests of the Pacific North west, a bucket list trip that I’ve wanted to do for years. The south west more than met my expectations, it’s an incredible stunning place with some of the most unique landscapes I’ve ever seen.

Read MoreI’ve been using the DJI Air 2S for about 3 months now. I bought it to replace my Mavic 2 Pro because I wanted something lighter for hiking but with the same quality output. The Air 2S has been with me now to Iceland and the Dolomites, and with the Mavic 3 Pro just about to be announced, here are my thoughts on this excellent little drone.
Read MoreLast month I was in Iceland for a workshop and had the the opportunity to head out to the volcanic eruption of Fagradalsfjall at Geldingadalur. We were lucky that the volcano was active during the time when we were there, and it was just an incredible experience to witness it. In this video I look at my thoughts and considerations in the field, and in the second part of the video go over my editing process for one of the abstract images I captured of the lava flows there.

It’s a beautiful rural landscape, all gentle rolling hills, vineyards and medieval hilltop towns, and so I was excited to be heading back there again this spring with two good friends and fantastic photographers Konstantinos Vasilakis and Kostas Petrakis. We’ll be running a workshop there next year, so our plan for this trip was to finalise all the practicalities and ensure that everything we needed was in place, but of course we also intended to do plenty of photography.
Read MoreI've been fascinated by drones for a number of years and tempted to get one. The thing that has always put me off is how big and bulky they are. Even a smaller drone like the DJI Phantom is a cumbersome object that fills it's own backpack. There's no way I could see being able to incorporate a drone like that into my shooting kit, which I like to keep as small and lightweight as possible. I knew that what would happen with a drone like that would be that it would get left behind more often than not as taking it with me would mean leaving other things behind or carrying very large and bulky bag.
So when DJI announced the Mavic Pro back in October I was really intrigued. After reading the first reviews, I ordered one and then waited for it to arrive. And waited...
