Happy New Year! What a strange year 2012 turned out to be, absolutely tonnes of change for me since riding my motorcycle around Iceland, hence the embarrassingly woeful blog count. However, I am now settled into a new home, with a new car, a new job and a new PC to aid my main new year resolution - to get back taking photos, exploring, shooting new things, blogging as much as possible (including the few things I have photographed over the last few months) and generally getting back to it. Who knows we might even see a new piece of photographic kit joining the bag this year!
Starlings swarming past the full moon

After walking through muddy fields in search of inspiration for a couple of hours, it was when we arrived back to xmas base camp that we had the pleasure of witnessing this spectacle. Thousands of starlings swarming overhead with a haunting sound of a million feathers in the night air.

Night station

Waiting on a foot bridge for a steam locomotive to pass through, I like the colour and composition of this shot. Unfortunately for the reader, the steam loco was just good fun rather than a photo opportunity!
Winter fisherman

A fisherman bags his reward for fishing on a bitterly cold day, the stark winter trees reflecting their subdued colours in the still water.
