Blois is a town in the Loire Valley, France. We went there for a weekend trip and enjoyed exploring the small streets, especially around the cathedral, where you could be forgiven for thinking you were in Spain. This is another 3-shot handheld HDR, thanks to the 8fps of the 7D.

We were driving past Loch Lomond looking for a place to stop to take a photo and happened upon this beauty. The nice Scottish man even let us sit in his plane! This is an HDR from three RAW photos, taken handheld (like most of my HDR photos – I’m too lazy to carry a tripod).

I imagine you would have a weak bladder, and probably be slightly deaf? If you do live near a waterfall, please write and let us know.

I like this photo, so much that I made it my desktop background on my computer. It might be a bit cheesy but, heck, if this is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

Playtime at the Beckhams'


The first of a number of photos I took last weekend of the, simply epic, Chateau Chambord in the Loire Valley, two hours from Paris.

Not only did we see some cool animals, I also took along my macro lens which embarrassingly I bought and have hardly used. From the results of this day, I will definitely be using it more in future!

This airport is a combination of ugly and beautiful.

"...lies underneath a pyramid" - surely this is a more likely location for the Holy Grail than under the Louvre? It even has the word "Chevalier" (knight) inscribed on it.
