I Love the non-destructive transforms and its great at organising my photos straight from the camera. I read today of a different challenge from the National geographic digital photography [...]

This week I had a test run at submitting a few of my Surfing Images to the MagicSeaweed.com photolab. I have often been impressed with the quality of the images on the Magic Seaweed site and I was interested to see how some of mine would be received. I am absolutely chuffed to bits that [...]

Last night I finally got round to updating my word press install to 2.1.1 . The aim was to get the WordPress Embedded Gallery 2 plugin set up and working (which i eventually managed to do here). In the past this operation has always gone smoothly, my options being to use the auto-magic update button [...]

Over here in blighty (England if you will) we tend to get a bit of a rough deal when it comes to waves. When the waves are ok, the weather sux, and when the weather is ok, you can bet your bottom dollar that the waves will suck. Enter the cribbar. This surf ‘event’ happens [...]

I have added a small update to the Flash 8 photo gallery I produced. This allows me to specify the XML data source i wish the gallery to load from. In addition I have done a small amount of tidying up on the server in the build up to categorising some of my photographs, and [...]

Last night was the Adobe Creative suite Launch party. Now I’m not sure i will ever get to use the product itself, is not really my bag, if you follow. But the Suite did look… Brown, now I’m not sure if that was a skin, or a design decision. I’m not saying it was a [...]

After surfing for a few days in Tamarindo, where the waves were small & clean (about 3-4ft, maybe slightly larger on the biggest sets) we headed away as the swell started to die. We made the fun, fun drive down the coast to Nosara along some creatively named �un-paved� roads.

And no trip would have been complete without some time on Praia do Amado. This time the waves on Amado started pretty small but by Sunday they were growing quite nicely. If it weren’t for the on-shore winds i think there would have been some darn fine waves to play in. I had some good [...]

Friday and Saturday bought a third new break, this again a beach break right in the centre of a huge stretch of beach. There were two peaks that we went out into. First was to the left of the rocks dead bang opposite where we pitched up in the 4×4. This was the more forgiving [...]

On the second day of training we visited a Left hand point break. The first pick here is actually taken from some distance away from the break on a cliff top, the same point that i took the pictures on my phone. The others were taken at the break. The beach offered a nice Right [...]

Last night the office party went into full swing. The free alcohol flowed well and from our location over looking the Thames we were all privy to a fantastically dramatic Sunset. Reminiscent of the smog ridden paintings of London by Monet.
