  • The Stone Cross

    The Stone Cross

    I found this cross sitting atop an old church. What did this image teach me? Church architecture can be quite interesting when you start to look at the small, finer details. Historically people put a lot of effort into building these places of worship.

  • Grey Gull on Grey Water

    Grey Gull on Grey Water

    This bird was causing quite a ripple effect on the water, seemed to be enjoying itself though. What did this image teach me? Gulls may be a common sight around the country (not just at the seaside) but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored – they can make for an interesting subject.

  • The Grey Rhino

    The Grey Rhino

    This beautiful creature lives at Paignton Zoo, somewhere I am looking forward to revisiting as soon as this lockdown business is over… What did this image teach me? That it’s hard to take a picture of a rhino and not make it look a little bit sad. There’s just something about their stoic faces, and…

  • The Face in the Wall

    The Face in the Wall

    This stone visage looks over the scenery at Anacapri, Italy… What did this image teach me? To find interesting photography subjects no matter where you are, or what you see.

  • Glastonbury Abbey

    Glastonbury Abbey

    Another shot from the archives (I know I’ve said that a lot recently, but hopefully you can understand why)… What did this image teach me? That getting down low can add a different dimension to a shot.

  • Capri Sun

    Capri Sun

    Here’s an older shot from a trip to Italy a few years ago, a beautiful country that is going through a very bad time. What did this image teach me? I like Italy. It’s a beautiful country, and I have no idea when I’ll get a chance to visit again.

  • Sepia Church

    Sepia Church

    It’s been a little while since my last Burrow Mump photo, so here we are – a sepia, sunset shot. What did this image teach me? Sunsets and sepia tones can work together, if the composition is strong enough.

  • Stourhead View

    Stourhead View

    This is one of several fascinating follies and structures that you can find lining the lake at Stourhead. What did this image teach me? Once again diving into the archive of unedited photos has offered up something good.

  • The Golden Lady

    The Golden Lady

    I liked the play of light and shadow in this shot, and the lines and shapes. What did this image teach me? To appreciate light and lines as much as subject and composition.
