Guy Fawkes, Photography and a lot of beer!

Well I hope everyone had a mint Guy Fawkes, I know I did. This year I decided to skip the overcrowded public displays with fun-killing alcohol bans and have some fireworks fun at home. After all, what’s better than sharing a BBQ, a game of cricket, quite a few beers, a bonfire and a box [...]

Carrying too much gear

Carrying too much, admit it, you’ve been guilty of it on more than one occasion!
