Photographic Portfolio of 2014
Images and photographic notes of my successes for the year |
| Each year I like to produce a collection of my best and favourite images. Most have been published in books and magazines and possibly in conjunction with features and as such were chosen by the editor in question. I hope you like this snapshot of my best work from 2014. |
338 Mira F-4E(AUP) Phantom II (01524)
One of my favourite images from an amazing photo shoot in Greece
(DSLR full-frame sensor + Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS Mk.II plus x1.4 extender at 1/1250 f.8 ISO 200 -2/3 stop exposure compensation). |
Hellenic Air Force F-4E(AUP) Phantom Painting, by Fran Richley
A new friend of mine approached me last year wanting to paint one of my images. After some debate we decided on an image of an Hellenic Air Force F-4E(AUP) Phantom flown at low-level by an exceptional pilot I know. On completion a limited edition of 120 prints (signed by the pilot, myself and Fran the painter) have been produced, two of which we have sent to the pilot, one for him personally and one for 338 Squadron at Andravida.

This is my real passion. Finding a steep sided valley and waiting for some fast jet action is very relaxing. You might only get one or two jets in a day, but who cares? The scenery is often stunning and when you are alone it gives you a good chance to unwind from the pressures of life. The anticipation of a jet flying up your valley is exciting. The thrill of capturing a jet with the ground as a backdrop is more than you can imagine. |
