Blog
Welcome to this little dark obscure corner of the internet, my blog. I write about things that I am passionate about, and provide information on a range of topics including hiking, wild camping, photography, filmmaking and more.
Chichester Stock Video Footage
A drunk man in a wheelchair tells me to F off, but his charming accomplice said “Welcome to Chichester’, so I continued, and captured a load of Chichester stock video footage for this collection.

To B (roll), or not to B (roll) - Stratford-Upon-Avon Stock Footage
William Shakespeare’s hometown, his birthplace, his new place, his wife’s house, his theatre, a big wheel, some statues, and the inability to go into McDonald’s and order a Macbeth.
It’s not unusual - July 2023
Barriers, cones, dilapidated buildings, new lenses, loads of rain, authoritarian taxi drivers, WW2 aircraft, dive-bombing birds, and Tom Jones.
Wonderful Warwick - Stock Footage
An exclusive collection of premium stock footage from the historic market town of Warwick. Everything from drone aerial views of Warwick Castle, to low fast gimbal tracking shots of Warwick town center.
Norwich Market
Norwich Market, an aerial view, after law expert taxi driver, kamikaze seagulls and drunk teenagers.
Coffee under a tarp video
Some bloke quits social media and goes and drinks coffee in the woods, in the rain, to help avoid the digital cocaine, but it back-fires as he films himself and puts it on social media, and then writes about it on social media, and then shares the video on social media, and then ouch my head hurts, get me back to the woods.
Samyang 135mm f1.8 video review
The bokeh monster! What an absolute beast of a lens the Samyang 135mm f1.8 is. Bonkers bokeh, or “blur”, for the non-sophisticated amongst us. A video review.
Samyang 85mm T1.5 Cine Lens Review Video
A video review of this fine but rather unusual lens, and quite possibly one that is now a bit of a favorite of mine, the Samyang 85mm T1.5 Cine. Samyang, Rokinon. Whatever.
Uffmoor woods coffee video - June
Coffee in Uffmoor woods June, Clent Hills, Worcestershire, UK
Croissants and Cowhide, Shakespeare and Shawarma - June 2023
To B (roll), or not to B (roll). That is the question. In June I flew a few drones, chased some storms, issued some new rider demands and measured some nettles.
Royal Ascot 2023
40mph on bumpy grass with high-end cameras, filming the king and eating Calippos.
Sophisticated mud, Lady Godiva, big zoom gimbals, and wild garlic steaks - May 2023
I decided to stick a Sony 200-600mm lens in a handheld gimbal, hide in the woods making videos that nobody watches, drive through some mud, visit Cambridge, and breathe garlic onto Lady Godiva.

Sharing some driving tips with Sir Jackie Stewart
I took a Formula 1 racing legend, Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, for a spin around Aintree Racecourse, and considered starting a cleaning company.
Sony 200-600mm Lens on a DJI Ronin RS3 Pro Video
Video testing a DJI Ronin RS3 Pro with a Sony A7iii and Sony 200-600mm lens. Bonkers. Absolutely bonkers.
Clent Hills Bluebells Video
This little coffee break in Uffmoor Woods in the Clent Hills turned into a 12 month video filming project, as I decided to film an episode of what was later dubbed “Coffee in the woods” every month for a full year. It’s like looking back in time and figuring out what I did wrong in life. Clent Hills Bluebells… Coffee in the woods….. April.
Running with a DJI Ronin SC and different lenses video
Video testing the DJI Ronin SC by running through the woods with a few different lenses. The Samyang 12mm Fisheye, the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm f4, the Sigma Art 50mm f1.4 and a wild card, the DJI Osmo Action 3.
