Radio Times – 24 December 2014
I know what you’re thinking. It’s Christmas again, and I’ve no idea what to watch on television. I know that there’s loads on, but how do I sort the good stuff from the bad? Well fear not. I’m back for with a few holiday suggestions. (In case you didn’t know, I’ve done this before.) As…

Geminids and Startrails
Last night was the peak of the Geminids meteor shower. So I headed out from the lights of my part of suburbia to rural Bayford (a 10 minute train ride). To be honest, there are still plenty of city lights on the horizon, but it’s the best I can do easily. I set myself up…

#LapseLondon
Last weekend, Triggertrap, the people who make smart phone adaptors for your DSLR cameras, organised an event called #LapseLondon. About forty of us assembled at their offices for some really interesting talks before heading out into a winter London. I managed to not follow the right technical instructions with my first shoot on Carnaby Street…

The Price of Rental
I missed Guardians of the Galaxy in cinemas earlier this year. But it was well reviewed, and I did plan to catch it. The good news is that it came out on “home video” recently. So I could either buy it on DVD or BluRay, or watch it in download/streaming. If I choose to rent…
