A slow adventure to decompress and recover my sanity takes us to the Netherlands and some time exploring the canals.

Access all areas?
If you love sport and love photography, it’s great to combine the two. However photographing a top level sports event is difficult, not least because many require accreditation. Does a visit to the British Open Golf offer accessible and photographable top level sport?

The art of patience
Photography is about time and light. We often don’t have the time and the light is rarely right when we do. That’s where patience comes in. Making time yields benefits for photography, slowing down, observing and being more considered. This is especially true with digital cameras which encourage us to shoot more not shoot better. This is what happened when I knew there was an image but didn’t know what. It took patience and a year and a half to find it.
Same planet, another world -Gaza
The world is an angry place. Conflicts spill over into destinations affecting the travel industry but, more importantly, decimating people’s lives. Nowhere more so than in Gaza and Israel. Whilst western media report on what’s happening there, they do so whilst excluded from Gaza. Civilians are caught in the middle of the conflict. Feeling abandoned by the world, one Gazan describes life in a place without hope.
Autumn Fungi & Campfire Cooking
PHOTO WORKSHOP – Chris Coe is joined by wildlife and nature photographer, Ellie Rothnie, for a very special and unusual photo workshop.
