Marketer, pickled onion enthusiast, Disneyland Paris nerd. I travel to lots of places and take lots of photos. When I can remember to post, you'll find digital, film, and a lot of cat photos here (look out for my definitely not daily #DailyDoseOfDJ 🐈‍⬛).

Beach crow! Spotted this cheeky chap enjoying a seaside stroll back in April, getting all ruffled by the ocean breeze. #DigitalPhotography #NaturePhotography #Travel #TravelPhotography #Nature #Dorset #Crow #Corvids #Crows #Birds #Weymouth #AnimalPhotography #BirdPhotography

A crow wandering along the shore of Weymouth beach, with very gentle waves lapping behind them. The crow's feathers are slightly ruffled by the wind.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ, rapidly on track to becoming a Decade-ly Dose if I keep forgetting about Bluesky... Somewhat ironic that he's rediscovered his radiator hammocks during a month of massive heatwaves. #Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals #AnimalPhotography #DigitalPhotography

Photo of DJ the black cat, sitting in a radiator hammock with his tail curled up near his face.

Very lucky to have friends who, when tasked with organising my hen do, surprised me with a boat trip to photograph seals as one of the activities. 🥹 📍 Blakeney Point, Norfolk #AnimalPhotography #Photography #Mammals #Seals #Seal #Animals #DigitalPhotography #Nature #Seal #NaturePhotography

Photo of an orange and white boat labelled "Beans Seal Trips" out on the ocean, with lots of people sitting in the boat and a strip of land in the background.

I didn't know, when I stopped to snap this beachfront building, that it was the restaurant my friend had booked for dinner, and that I was about to eat some delicious pasta. 🎞️ Kodak Gold 200 📍 #Weymouth, #Dorset 🗓️ April 2026 #35mm #FilmPhotography #ShotOnFilm #BelieveInFilm #FilmIsNotDead #Travel

Took this one while taking a quiet break from a photography festival. 🎞️ Kodak Gold 200 📍 #Leeds (Photo North Festival) 🗓️ April 2026 #35mm #FilmPhotography #ShotOnFilm #BelieveInFilm #FilmIsNotDead #Travel

Film photo looking down a corridor with chairs stacked near the door at the end. The walls are green, the carpet and door are pink, and the sunlight is filtering through some windows (not in shot), giving everything an even more pink glow.

I've taken so many photos this year and I want to post them somewhere so, perhaps aptly given the recent and abrupt change in weather this month, I'm trying a bit of Bluesky again. 🎞️ Kodak Gold 200 📍 #Dorset 🗓️ April 2025 #35mm #FilmPhotography #ShotOnFilm #BelieveInFilm #FilmIsNotDead #Travel

Film photograph of a little orange and white boat, on land near Portland Castle (not pictured), facing out towards the sea under a cloudy but blue sky. More land can be seen behind the sea in the background.

Your #DailyDoseOfDJ You know the sunshine flop is going well when the toe beans AND the little teeth are out. #Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals #DigitalPhotography #AnimalPhotography

DJ the black cat, lying on his back on a pile of cushions in the sun. His little face is upside down, he's looking towards the camera with half-closed eyes, and some of his black fur looks a rusty brown in the sun.

Immediately got my money's worth from the new camera by taking it for its first walk and spotting this sleepy little squirrel. 🥹 📷: Sony A6700 #Squirrel #BirdsOfBluesky #Nature #Mammals #DigitalPhotography #NaturePhotography #Animals #AnimalPhotography

This isn't even a monthly dose of DJ anymore, but today's #DailyDoseOfDJ is brought to you by the first 20°C day of the year, which the little man was delighted about. #Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals #DigitalPhotography #AnimalPhotography

DJ the black cat, curled up on a sunlit bed and snoozing in the sun with his paws stretched out.

Yet another return to Bluesky, brought to you by "I dropped a lot of money on a new camera and immediately took a thousand new bird photos". 📷: Sony A6700 #Robin #BirdsOfBluesky #Nature #Birds #DigitalPhotography #NaturePhotography #Animals #AnimalPhotography #BirdPhotography #Ornithology

1st March is obviously St David's Day for us Welsh people, but for me it's also the anniversary of my 2019 Arctic Circle adventure. A magical debut for my first DSLR. #Tromsø #DigitalPhotography #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights #Norway #Dogs #Animals #Travel #TravelPhotography

Photo of the Aurora Borealis in Tromsø, Norway. The lights look like green curtains against a starry sky, lighting up salmon pink clouds.

I've been feeling quite photographically uninspired lately, snapping away against flat grey skies. But I did visit the #LakeDistrict this month where it's hard to /not/ capture gorgeous views, even in this relentless weather. #Photography #DigitalPhotography #Sheep #Nature #NaturePhotography

A moody landscape in the Lake District, with mist-covered mountains surrounding a lake.

A grey and white sheep looking down at the camera from a mountainside, against a grey cloudy sky.

This might only be the second #DailyDoseOfDJ this year, but it's an important one: celebrating 4 years since the day we brought him home. 🥰 #Cat #Cats #BlackCat #BlackCats #CatsOfBluesky #Animals #DigitalPhotography #AnimalPhotography

Photo of DJ the black cat, lounging on a bed in the sunshine with a paw stretched out. Photo is obviously from last year; neither Deej nor I have seen the sun in what feels like months.

Snaps from the pre-work walk that made the early-ish start, and the 0°C, worth it. #Sunrise #Nature #NaturePhotography #Yorkshire #DigitalPhotography #Horses

It's winter-but-not-Christmas-anymore, which of course means time to post snowy ski resort photos. 🎞️ Portra 400 📍 Tignes/Val d'Isère, France #Winter #Skiing #Snow #FilmPhotography #35mm #ShotOnFilm #BelieveInFilm #TravelPhotography #FilmIsNotDead

I might do some sort of 2025 Photo Roundup on here soon, but all the while I'm trying to remember Bluesky exists, here's a fairly festive photo from a recent roll of expired film. #FilmPhotography #35mm #ShotOnFilm #BelieveInFilm #FilmIsNotDead #Nature #Plants #Christmas #Yorkshire

Expired film photo of a close-up holly branch with berries. The background is the rest of the holly bush, but blurred.
