Autumn Hawkbit

Check out my Autumnwatch nature notes at BBC Berkshire online…

I’m building a modest photo gallery for autumn, and adding notes each week. Having this little mission for the BBC gets me out shooting, which is good, although I didn’t have the right lens for the Red Kite, Buzzard and Kestrel which came tantalisingly close!

All the water and air on Earth

I’ve created a web page and edited a short video for Peter Kindersley, an environmental campaigner, to highlight how limited the planet’s air and water resources are, in a simple and memorable way. Peter commissioned a computer animation wizard to create two brilliant clips.

These images will stay with you for life.

Peter is keen for everyone to get the message. Versions are available for iPhones and other media players. So grab yourself a FREE copy of these mini-movies and pass them on!

Brush and Mug in hand

PHILIP SUREY is a letter cutter and sign writer – essentially an artist who herds and wrestles words and numbers. Some of Phil’s work is three-dimensional calligraphy. Brush in one hand, mug of tea in the other, I photographed him today at Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre, where he’s developed a bespoke lettering style especially for the job.
