New Mayor of Truro, Councillor Steven Webb
Last night Truro Cathedral hosted the annual Truro Mayor Making ceremony, where Councillor Steven Webb was elected to be the new Mayor of Truro. Paralyzed from the chest down with limited movement and no hand function following a diving accident in 1991, Steven’s achievements since then are an inspiration to us all, and I’m sure he […]
The Poldice Valley mine, from the air
Carrying on the theme of mining in Cornwall, I took my newly purchased DJI drone to the Poldice Valley to do some test flights and photography. When I got the files onto my computer I noticed immediately that the image quality is a big jump up from my other drone, with much greater dynamic range, […]
The Ale & Cakes tin mine – again
In an earlier blog post I wrote about visiting the Ale & Cakes tin mine at sunset. It’s a location that has been photographed numerous times, by numerous photographers, over the years. But, it’s rarely been photographed from the air. The advent of drone photography has opened up a whole new viewpoint on locations that […]

Storm Ciara, from 2020
Looking back to last year, Storm Ciara hit Cornwall, and I decided to photograph it at high tide. This image was taken at Portreath. It’s a spot that is very well known amongst photographers, but it’s not one that I had ever visited for photography before, in good weather or bad weather. It was amazing to watch […]
Photographing the Ale and Cakes tin mine, at sunset
As well as the professional photography that I showcase on this website, I also shoot images for stock, that I supply to a library, to a print sales site, and I also have my own website library which I allow anyone to download and use the images totally for free. This image is of the Ale […]
