HDR Travel Photo – Gwangju, Korea. We became coffee addicts in Korea, and for the first time in my life I actually enjoyed going to coffee shops. This was our lovely little coffee shop close to home. We went here every week.

HDR Travel Photo – Tynemouth Pier, Newcastle, England. On a freezing cold and windy morning I went out in search of a picture with a moody sky. The weather went from cold and windy, to wet, cold and windy. Badly prepared, I sat in a bus stop for shelter waiting for the rain to dry up. Eventually it did, and a moody sky is exactly what I got

HDR Travel Photo – Prambanan temple, Yogyakarta. Everything is a picture at Prambanan. This man was taking an understandable rest under a tree in the blazing afternoon heat. I was slightly envious but the camera-urge drove me forward.

HDR Travel Photo – Prambanan temple, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Prambanan is an incredible sight, I loved it. This will be the first of many pictures that I’ll put of the temple compound. If you visit here, don’t go during the day on a weekend.

HDR Travel Photo – Volkswagen Beetle, Yogyakarta. The busy streets of Yogya sport all manner of vehicle. I’ve always been partial to the old Volkswagen style car, so when I saw this I had to get a shot of it.

HDR Travel Photo – Mount Merapi

Photographer — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 05:40:00 +0000

HDR Travel Photo – Mount Merapi, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. About once a week for about 2 hours, the smog and clouds disperse and give us a glimpse of the still active mount Merapi. Once day I’ll hike up and there and get some decent shots.

HDR Travel Photo – Heavy Snow

Photographer — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 07:23:21 +0000

HDR Travel Photo – Gwangju, Korea. Korea, although not typically blanketted in snow in the winter, can break experience extremely heavy, sudden snow falls. It’s great if you’ve got your camera ready. After this particular snow fall the snow disappeared in only a few hours.

HDR Travel Photo – The Tyne Bridge

HDR Travel Photo – The Tyne Bridge, Newcastle, England. This bridge is iconic in my North East home. After being away for a while, it gives me a sense of comfort everytime I see it. The river Tyne itself, is becoming a spectacular site of late.

HDR Travel Photo – School Festival

Photographer — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 07:11:26 +0000

HDR Travel Photo – School festival, Gwangju, Korea. One day a year Korean kids are allowed to go mental. They call it a school festival. I call it a riot. After the morning craziness, the afternoon is filled with student performances and occasionally with guest shows too. This was a magic show performed by a professional. The kids were silent during it, thank God.
