Please note that all the images on this site (apart from the Solar Eclipse sequence) were selected solely on grounds of their pictorial quality and that therefore no specific location- or other details have been added. Most images were anyhow taken within a 15 mile radius from where I live (i.e. Leicester and Leicestershire) with the notable exceptions of the Highrise Architecture portfolio (City of London) and the account of the Solar Eclipse (Cornwall) (note: short image captions are still available on the old version of my site by letting your mouse pointer hover over an image; in order to get to those pages, it is best to use the Site Search (the predefined search expression should bring up all pages)).
All images were taken outdoors with available light on 35mm colour slide film with the help of a SLR and a couple of zoom lenses, apart from the panorama format shots for which I used a compact camera with panoramic facility (also using color slide film).
Anybody interested in more details is of course welcome to contact me.

Please note that Picture House has gone out of business as of 31. March 2006 due to funding cuts by the Arts Council; I shall keep this link here still for a while just for information (and because their website is still online).
