Today I was up at Addington in Bucks watching some dressage.  For a while now a friend has suggested that I come along to one of her dressage competitions and take some photos for her.  The first thing I'll say is that if you are not REALLY into horses you may find  dressage a tad boring. ........

I did get some good shots though and even made a couple of sales.

Over the years I have driven past the Peak District many times without really knowning what I was missing on my way up to Yorkshire or the Lake District.
The Peak District is a visually stunning place with rugged heather clad moorland of the Dark Peak, to the gently rolling dales of the White Peak.  I spent most of my time around Buxton getting up close and personal with The Roaches, and watching fools hanging off Stanage Edge on a bit of rope.

My top shots from the visit

Over the last few years I seem to have got into the habit of getting up at a silly time on a weekend in early january and driving down to Dungeness for a phot shoot........
