Photographing Berlin
I am fortunate that I am able to visit different places and one such place is Berlin. It is a city that cries out to walk around and I did one better by doing a lot of running around the city.

Watchful Mary
Watergate bay the last night and we went out for a nice pub meal. On the way back we stopped off at the Watergate Bay hotel. They have opened a bar called Watchful Mary. It seemed that the night was going to be overcast and worse still the bar was crowded so we huddled up … Continue reading Blog

The last day gave me that chance and I headed into the city. Unfortunately I had not … Continue reading Blog

I used a lensball to create the effect at the end of the network which provides a natural frame to the house. Following this I moved onto the … Continue reading Blog

Every year the end of the degree ceremonies is marked by a celebratory dinner in the Great Hall. This picture taken with my iPhone gives a glimpse into the grandness of the night. It is a showcase for the University and many local dignitaries are invited to the event. The Great Hall looks magnificent as … Continue reading Blog
