I am so lucky to live here in the New Forest.  When you get to know the place and the seasons you have great opportunities to play with your camera.  Clearly other people love the place too because some of my local photos continue to do well in worldwide competitions.

This photo of the pine trees on Aldridge Heath came 5th in a “Woodland” themed competition.

And this photo of 4 Red Deer Stags taken at dawn in August when the antlers were covered in lovely velvet is one of my more successful images.  In this case it came 4th in “Wild Deer”.

I have also sold both these images as impressive large acrylic mounted prints.  Acrylic mounted prints look particularly good in more modern homes whilst canvasses do better in traditional cottages.
