Four Special Edition Acrylic Prints Available!
Occasionally, I print some of my favoured and colourful work on Acrylic. This is an expensive process where the image is printed onto a piece of acrylic and then sealed at the back with white background. The effect is amazing as it allows light to enter the acrylic and make the photograph look like it’s back-lit.
I can now announce 4 new photographs in special edition 60x40cm Acrylic prints of Carvoeiro, Burgau, Praia de São Rafael and one of my best sellers, the Hazy Sunset at Arco de Albandeira.
These acrylics can be viewed at my Gallery Room by appointment near São Marcos da Serra or I can deliver or meet in the central Algarve area.

This Week’s Featured Print: Dusk With A Great Story!
This week’s featured print is a shot of dusk at the amazing seaside village of Burgau. Whilst I was taking this shot, I could hear the group of people sat at the table near the slope to the beach commenting that they hoped that “The photograph won’t fall from the cliff”. I was in a safe place but it may have looked a bit dangerous from their position.
Fast forward a few days and I was displaying this image as part of my stand at the Aljezur International School Christmas Fair. The group had came to the fair and noticed the photo, when they read the information badge showing the date, they instantly realised that it was them in the photography. Of course, they purchased an A3 sized framed print as a memory!
The dusk colours were amazing that evening which made the photograph a great image of a great coastal gem.
As always, the Featured Image has a discount across all variations.
White Storks Of Silves Field Trip 2020! – Saturday 8th February
This field trip back in February was very popular and sold out quickly therefore, I have added the event for booking much earlier this year and is scheduled for Saturday February 8th.
If you know all about this trip and just want to book, please CLICK HERE.
Come and spend a morning with me and other like-minded nature and photography lovers in the historic town of Silves amongst the stunning White Storks. Although this trip is designed with photographers in mind, feel free to join us even if you don’t bring a camera!
There will be plenty of opportunities to photograph Storks on their huge nests and point your camera at these giants in flight. We may even be lucky to witness them fighting over nesting rights. Of course, I will be on hand to offer advice on all aspects of photography from exposure settings to bird in flight techniques.
This is the perfect Field Trip if you are wanting to improve your Bird in Flight technique!
The morning will consist of the following schedule;
» A brief talk about the White Storks and their habitat, lifestyle, feeding, breeding and migration patterns.
» Photographic opportunities of Storks on their huge nests with walks to various nest sites around the city of Silves.
» Photographic opportunities of Storks in flight.
» During the morning I will be on hand to help with any photographic tips and techniques from exposure settings to Bird in Flight Techniques.
Although it helps if you have a little experience in photography anyone is welcome on this field trip as I will offer help and advice. It can be used as a followup or a taster to my Digital Photography Fundamentals Workshop.

December Sunset At Carvoeiro
I have been wanting to shoot from this iconic Algarve viewpoint for a while and as I will be at the Christmas Fair at The Smokehouse & Tapas Bar in Carvoeiro on Sunday I thought it a good idea to have a local photograph to include in the display.
This evening I arrived early to setup for a “2nd Sunset” (the colourful sky after the sun has set) shot, but the clouds started rolling in so changed my plan for an actual sunset shot instead.
If you want to see this image in print and mounted, please come along on Sunday.
