The UK Spring Bank holiday weekend is on presently, however as long weekends go, the bad weather has also arrived. Here’s a photo from Bethells, New Zealand, shot three years ago which I’ve previously made available in a triptych frame.

Chislehurst Caves, Kent

Posted in General, Travel at 8:00 pm by Warren Williams

The Chislehurst caves, are a labyrinth of hand dug passageways, totalling 22 miles in length. Parts of the cave system are thought to be over 4000 years old, and once housed 15,000 people during World War II as an air raid shelter. More recently, concerts were peformed by Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix and other big acts for the acoustic qualities, until health and safety put a stop to such performances.

Due to the low light, ISO 6400 used on all these shots, with the Canon 1D Mk III

Nano Mouse

Posted in General, Travel at 10:24 pm by Warren Williams

Whilst travelling, and moving around a lot, I’ve been using an Acer notebook for photo editing, but recently the mouse died on me, and was forced to use the touchpad recently – which is incredibly hard to use photoshop with. So set my sights on the Logitech VX Nano and was delivered this week from Amazon.co.uk. The USB wireless transmitter is incredibly small, and can stay permanently plugged in, without causing interference.
