This shot was taken in 2009 in the Shimba Hills in Kenya, Africa.  It shows an encounter I had with a young elephant whilst on safari. After stopping to view him from the roadside I watched as he shook his head,  fanned his ears and started to walk toward us. At this point I alerted the driver, who shrugged his shoulders and told us that it was fine. He finished his mobile phone conversation, started the engine and we were on our way. This is the only time I have been concerned on safari in Africa, although I would do it again in a heartbeat. Other images in this series are my shots Warning 2 and Grace. Canon 400D Canon 100-400 IS L (not long enough!) @300mm F5.6 1/80th Sec (too slow) ISO 400 (should have increased to 800) This image won the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2010 in the Digital Photographer of the Year Awards 2010, my biggest achivement to date! See the online publication at http://www.dphotographer.co.uk/images/esupplement10/DP_ESUP_10_06.pdf This is my wife Andrea. I took this in a series of shots on the last day of our vacation in Colorado. The sun was just disappearing over the horizon and giving off that magical golden light. This is the first time I have really photographed anyone for a series of portrait shots. We both love Colorado and can’t wait to return. Converted to sepia and edited in Lightroom 2, with adjustments to contrast,levels and touching up using the spot heal tool. This is a shot of my wife taken in Costa Rica. I cannot remember the exact location, but it was a waterfall located in the rainforest. I was new to photography at the time, and now realise what a stunning location it was. The natural light was astounding. A shot of my wife, Andrea, taken in Colorado USA This shot was taken before my friends wedding in East London.You can see the flowergirl in the bottom corner as she takes a tenatiive peak at the bride, who is making her final prepartions in the family home. I like this shot because for me it is pure reportage, capturing a candid moment in time that encapsulates and conveys the story to the viewer. An African Elephant warning me to back off in the Masai Mara,Kenya Editing in CS3, adjusting levels, converting to black and white, and dodge and burn. A red fox, backlit and underexposed by three stops. Edited in lightroom 2. I have tried to create a more abstract image here, inspired by a recent finalist in Wildlife Photographer of the Year Taken at my first wedding in Richmond. The father of the bride (she can be seen in the backround), enjoys a quiet moment of reflection. Minor adjustments in Lightroom 2 and CS3 A piece of street art on a corner in the Montmarte District, Paris,France. Selectively coloured in CS3. My wife and our daughter Giselle, the two most beautiful things in my life. My wife, Andrea I shot this at a wedding in Sawbridgeworth last September. The couple didn't get to throw thier confetti earlier in the day, so asked if we could do a shot later that evening. I love the angle, expressions and the fact that its at night, which is unusual
