I wasn’t going to post this photo of Jen’s Fiat 500, as it was more of a test shot, due to the light not being perfect, but every time I see it on my phone or Flickr it makes me smile, so thought I’d post it anyway!

2012
This is my girlfriend Jen, she’s the subject of my new year blog because we have got lots of exciting plans together for 2012 (and she has just made me a gorgeous dinner!).
The most exciting of our plans are trips to Costa Rica and the Outer Hebrides, which should both provide some great photo opportunities. Our 2012 got off to a slightly less adventurous start with an afternoon stroll around a local country park to break in new boots for our trips further afield and of course to take a few pictures!
Merry Christmas – Here’s one I made earlier
Merry Christmas! I’m up in Perth with my family for a few days, but it doesn’t look as festive as this image from Christmas Day a couple of years ago! I went out for a walk with the camera, but the conditions were grey and windy, not ideal for photography, so I spent the afternoon stuffing myself with food and geeking out with new gadgets!
Cheeky
I don’t normally take pictures of kids, but as we were with some friends for an early Xmas meal and this little chap was in a cheeky mood I thought I’d get the camera out and see if he would pose for me. He went a bit shy at first, but this image really captures his personality, Mum and Dad seem to be pleased with it too!
Fiat 500 – iPhone
After washing Jen’s 500 I decided to take a quick picture of it on my iPhone and post it to Flickr/Twitter.
Rather annoyingly within a few hours it had more views than all the pictures of my new MX-5, although that was possibly something to do with a retweet from Polished Bliss.
The little Fiat will be getting a proper photoshoot soon though.
New MX-5
Things have been a bit quiet on the blog recently, mainly because of all the travelling I’ve been doing, and partly because of my new toy!
After my old MX-5 died, the logical choice was to get a new one and I’m enjoying it even more than I thought I would! I’m sure there will be even more pictures of it on this blog in the coming months…
Croyde Bay – iPhone
A quick iPhone photo looking over Croyde Bay in Devon, one of my favourite places to be, even when the waves are small, like they were when this was taken.
Wheat Field
Wheat Field in the evening sunshine, Flecknoe, Warwickshire. June 2011
This image is from an evening walk near the village of Flecknoe in Warwickshire, as it was such a lovely evening it would have been rude not to go out with the camera. I really liked how the green of the young wheat and blue sky were so vivid in the evening light.
Fruit Juices
I was in Barcelona a few weeks back, this market, just off the Ramblas was one of my highlights. There was all sorts of fresh and brightly coloured produce, from fish to cheeses, but the stalls that caught my eye photographically were the fruit stands which all seemed to do a sideline in fruit juices.
Of course, I had to make sure that the juices tasted as good as they looked and can confirm that the coconut and mango certainly was!
Accepted to Alamy
For a while one of my photography goals has been to get accepted to the Alamy stock agency, I particularly wanted to get accepted as they are a proper agency, rather than microstock and they are pretty strict about who gets in, with your images having to pass a stringent QC test.

My favourite image of the four from my initial upload was this image of Kinnoull Tower near Perth, Scotland:
