Dumfries to Chichester
You can tell when I get bored or nervous - I start shooting everything in sight. This is a record of the journey from Dumfries in Scotland back to Chichester on the south coast of England, which took three trains, a 'plane, a bus, and about nine hours.
I took many pictures of the clouds from above when on the 'plane, which was in part due to both boredom and nerves. As I was above the engine I switched to a widescreen mode I found while playing with the camera to cut out as much machinery as possible. I wouldn't have been able to take any pics if it wasn't for the nice Goth girl reading Empire magazine switching seats with me - thanks! :)
Norfolk 2003: Holkham Hall, 8th September
Holkham Hall is a lovely stately home with deer, lakes, and some great statues inside and out. But I think we were most interested in the nesting house martins under the eaves of the shop.
Sussex Weather (Flooding), 2003
I think the idea of this page was, if someone said "What's the weather like down there?", I'd show them this. So it's not an accurate reflection of the weather in Sussex all the time!
Nottingham Snowscenes, December 2001
Running around like a kid taking pictures of everything, because SNOW!

Chichester Flooding
During the Winter of 2000/2001 the South of England was hit by some of the worst flooding on record. Armed with a new digital camera I decided to try and capture how this affected the city where I lived, Chichester.
The city didn't flood in the end, but only because drastic measures were taken to move the water using a series of pipes stretching across the city. Including cutting right across the main road into town, with traffic going over a makeshift wooden bridge.
Battersea Park in Autumn
Not long after I got my first digital camera, and I'm working in a dot com in Battersea. The walk to work wasn't bad though.
Arundel from a moving train
Although I bought the camera at the computer show in October ostensibly to capture images of that show, I was thinking of getting a camera for some time.
After seeing some lovely sunrises around the Arundel area on the train to London each morning, I knew that I had very little time before the clocks changed back to GMT and I wouldn't be able to capture these images for some time - if indeed I ever got the chance again, with the rains causing morning mists I might not get the same views when everything had a chance to dry out. As it was it took me until just a few days before the clocks went back before the conditions were right to take my first shots. Bear in mind all of these are taken through the window of a moving train.
