Here's a helpful screen recording to give an insight to how I edit.
I love editing, and love to share my behind the scenes work. I’d so much rather do this than read a book! So in this video I take you through my editing process of this shot from the COAP Lightnings Shoot h

Back at the end of March I spent a few days in Miami/South Florida with some good friends chasing aviation mainly at Homestead AFRB, I’ll cover this later.
Not being sure what was planned for Homestead we decided to head north to Miami Executive at Opa Locka in the hope of c

The 492nd Fighter Squadron has an interesting History, back then it was part of the 48th Fighter Bomber Group. Most famously the Group took part in European Operations during the Invasion of Normandy on the 6th of June 1944.
Although G-THUN didn’t take part in D Day, it’s painted ...
Next week I’ll be moving to a new PC, so will need to transfer Lightroom Classic along with thousands of images. I thought I had a good idea of what is involved, but did some research nonetheless. The attached PDF is the best I’ve come across. It’s very thorough and mentions some ...
We all have them, for some of us it’s the chase of capturing ‘that’ plane in flight or collecting serial numbers. I have a new one though and it’s something I can’t quite figure out why, patches.

My Air Defender 2023 Experience – 19th to 23rd June, 2023

Let’s be honest, the days at events like RIAT are long enough. Most people are queuing up long before the gates open at 0730, and some are still walking about when they’re reminded to “get out!”. So what would you say to being able to get in 2 hours before everyone, walk the statics a...
[Recap] At the end of April I finally returned from a “little” relentless pursuit of my own, having spent nearly a month in Florida with my wife and kid.
How to plan a month-long family trip across the pond to Florida? Squeeze in three airshows and a museum or two plus a night shoo...
I had read the “Fête Aérienne Le Temps Des Helices” is one of the go to events on the airshow calendar. The show name translates to “Air Festival The Time of the Propellers”. This event takes place annually during the Pentecost weekend around the end of May.
Having never been I ...
After the announcement of The Blades being disbanded back at the start of the year, I hatched an idea to try and capture the final display of The Blades over at Sywell (thankfully only a 10 minute drive from home), this meant keeping an eye on the Facebook groups and checking...
Ahoy! First blog post for me.
I had the most fun I’ve had behind a lens in a long time last night.
I went down to the Pima Air and Space Museum with my hombre Judd Slivka for the museum’s ‘Night Wings’ event yesterday to get some photos to help reinforce a few of the co
