Owls are among my favourite birds.

I am a wheelchair based photographer. I love this art form. I don't have a favourite genre but I do love birds, expecially if I can get them flying.

Taken with a full spectrum Sony A7RIVA with a Kolari sensor Chrome filter.

A Dahlia head that I messed about with .

This was taken with the Sony A9 III, which I no longer own.

Photographed in early June at Listhof in Reutlingen under Bortle Class 4 skies.

Gear: Viltrox 13mm f/1.4

Night sky: 30 × 15s, 13mm @ f/1.4, ISO 1250 Stacked in Sequator

Another unrepeatable experiment with a photograph of a hanging flower basket. I never know what I'm going to get, but I really enjoy doing it. They don't all come out like a big bang.

Flowers growing in our garden. Another experiment with sliders in post. Mostly perspective which is not easy because one can make a move and it says I can't do that!

The optical disconnect between low-frequency smoothing and high-frequency realism.

I enjoy messing about with photography, and so far, all of my abstract work has been done within post-processing. ICM allows me to do it as I'm taking the photograph.

This is deeply meaningful to me. Surviving and blossoming despite all attempts to stop me blossoming on my own terms.

Every time I drove past this tree during the day, I found myself wondering how I could capture it in a photograph. Last June, I finally got the opportunity.

That haunting mental image of a woman you glanced at while walking past a Paris cafe...

This is Antwerp's main station. It is known throughout Europe for being one of the busiest train stations, but also for its fantastic architecture.

Surely there are many more disabled or handicapped photographers? I am a wheelchair user. My photos are taken from my chair.

I love to mess about in post, trying out things to see what happens. I sometimes get results I love. Sometimes.

The Barn Owl is possibly my favorite owl.

I have 16 TB worth of photographs that need to be cleared out.

I have been sorting through my external SSDs, getting rid of all the photographs I should have got rid of on the day I uploaded them.

I have been working through all my SSD exts, which are filled with thousands of photographs, most of which are dross and need to be deleted.

This is not a good shot in the way we ould normally think of but I at least the got the eye dead sharp of this 5-7 day old Wood Pigeon which we have done our best to protect both parents.

I spotted this blackbird tucked among the leaves. Unlike most birds, it didn’t flinch when I raised my camera it simply stayed put, almost as if it was posing for the shot.

When/Where: This photo was captured during the afternoon/twilight show on Friday August 7, 2026 at the Abbotsford International Airshow. I was positioned in the Photo Pit.

A couple months ago I picked up a RF 100mm f/2.8 Macro L and I am putting it through it's paces to see what I can come up with.

When/Where: This was captured at the Abbotsford International Airshow on the Saturday from the Photo Pit. The MBB Bo 105 was doing a loop as part of its airshow routine.

Sometimes a bit of luck is all you need.

When/Where: On August 7, 2026 at the Abbotsford International Airshow during the Friday afternoon/evening Twilight Show.

I was recently back in the woods trying to take some wildlife photos. Sadly, I barely came across any birds that day and whenever I did, they were gone before I could even focus on them.

Caught this house sparrow in a bush. In his beak, you can see what looks like his meal for the evening.

The current AI contest made me revisit a photo I took in 2008 that I've been trying to save from a chain link fence.
