My first blog

Hi, and welcome to my first blog on Visions of Britain. This website is all about my imagery taken from around the United Kingdom, and the trials and tribulations of creating the photographs that are available on this site. If you are a budding photographer, it is my aim that by sharing some of my experiences, it may seek to inspire some of your own photography, be it by visiting some of the locations that I have done, or improving your own photography through a few of the insights I hope to provide. If you are an editor or picture buyer, then I hope that you will find this site a useful resource and download plenty of files!

Let me start by pointing you towards my ever expanding gallery of images on the River Thames and Thames Valley. I have been working on this particular project over the last twelve months, the aim being to photograph the landscapes of the river from the source to the sea. At over 200 miles long, there is plenty of country to cover and the river winds it's way through some truly amazing and diverse countryside in addition to many picturesque towns and villages. To tell the story of the river in all seasons is a project that will no doubt span more than a year or two, but let me know how you think I am getting on.

Well, for now I hope that you will enjoy browsing the imagery available. Please look back in shortly and I will start to share some hints and tips, together with my exploits in the coming posts.
