Photographing the Wild Weather in Dorset

My wife often thinks I am mad heading out when the weather is bad, but it is a fact that some of the most amazing moments can happen during this time. On a recent scouting trip around Dorset for my upcoming workshops, this was never so true.

The fairytale Cottage – A scouting trip

Located in northern Slovenia, near to Kranjska Gora, is a location known as the Fairytale Cottage. I went here on a scouting trip the other day as I plan to include this location on my autumn workshop this year, which will be five days instead of the usual four.

A great view thanks to Photohound

Thanks to a website called Photohound, I was able to find a very unique view of Izola on the Slovenian Adriatic Coast. Read more about it here:

My Favourite Photoshoots of 2023

I thought I would start the new year with a review of my favourite photoshoots throughout 2023. While I got some good stuff every month, I have focused on the months that produced some of my best and favourite photographic moments.

Caught by Surprise

Sometimes a moment takes you by complete surprise. This evening was no exception. I was on a hike up to Smlednik Castle with my family. From this viewpoint you get a fabulous panoramic view of the Kamnik and Julian Alps. However, looking at the conditions I hadn’t expected much to happen.
