Happy New Year - here's to a wonderful 2012 for photography, family and friendship!

Autumn tales from the riverbank 1

A time lapse animation video showing some scenes from a wonderful autumn day on the River Tyne at Hexham, Northumberland.

Clear blue skies, wonderful autumn colours, amazing reflections, tired salmon trying to jump the big weir, and lots of seagulls and ducks gathering around you - what more could you need after a poor summer?
The music is A Seated Night (Ambient) by Moby and has a free Moby gratis non-commercial license agreement - many thanks for this initiative

A video and a slideshow showing a few images of the bonfire and fireworks display this November at Hexham - one of the best displys in north east England . . . . allegedly!

Photographs taken in past years -

A selection of my favourite photos taken in each year will be shown on the following pages:

JustSwanningAround in 2009

JustSwanningAround in 2010

JustSwanningAround in 2011

This website is gradually being built up to show a selection of images that I've taken mainly in Britain, France, Switzerland and Germany.

Some of these images will be purely photo-record or documentary of visits to various places. Some images will be edited or manipulated to add interest to the image. And some will be altered to become a photo artwork. Whatever your interest, I hope that there'll be something of interest for you on this visit, and on future visits as this website develops. Hopefully a few of the photos will perhaps even give you ideas or the impetus to go out and take something better - if so, let me see the results by emailing them to me.

Have a look at some of the page links on the left hand side of this page - they will lead you to a selection of images for you to explore. Let me know what you think of the photographs or maybe even what you would like to see added!

The pages on this website continue to be organised into some form of logic, but remember I may just be spending too much time 'just swanning around'! And as a result, keep looking by for new images and pages being uploaded. Let me know what you think too, as it might just encourage me to go 'just swanning around' a little bit more.

The Local Weather:

For those who want to see what's helping me either get out to take photographs or stay at home editing photos on the computer have a look at the weather forecast below.

Unfortunately my skills at raindancing have yet again proved too good in 2010, so this year I'll be learning improved techniques in how to do the sundance.
