All things bright and beautiful…

by KitNature, Photography 17 October, 2020No Comments

... and so totally weird! I love nature and have always had an interest in plants (I still have my Junior Royal Horticultural Society membership cards from when they existed!). Carnivorous plants in particular fascinate me. The way they have evolved to catch insects, the different forms and mechanisms for doing so. And when you …

Bring your own device (BYOD) for learning in schools

by KitCollaboration, Education, Learning Technology 16 October, 202020 May, 2025No Comments

The central idea of BYOD is that individuals use the technology that they bring with them to school or college. The school or college does not need to provide the computers, tablets, smartphones for individuals to use in class, just supply the environment that allows users to use their technology collaboratively or just for individual use.

Butterfly to fairy

by KitPeople, Photography, Photoshop, Portrait 23 September, 2020No Comments

I'm often just photographing events as they happen on family day trips. You could say most of my photography practice comes from this sort of candid photography. As it was here, posted below, one of a sequence of images I caught of a friends daughter totally absorbed in chasing a rather elusive butterfly :-) It …

Dragon Eggs!

by KitChildrens portraiture, People, Photography, Portrait 19 September, 202026 July, 2025No Comments

I like dragons. And love seeing how children engage in make-believe. This was very much a personal project, taking advantage of an opportunity that arose from a trip to a local play area, Dinton Pastures, with friends. One of the play parts at Dinton is a wide hollow in the ground with huge wooden eggs …

“Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside…”

by KitNature, Photography 17 September, 2020No Comments

Beaches are fun and I love them for the variety of patterns you can find along the shoreline through the interaction of sand, water, wind and tide and often quite varied along the same stretch of coastline. The ripples, rivulets, all adding to the patterns. They also make great backgrounds and this collection of patterns …

Frozen Fire

by KitNature, Photography 13 September, 2020No Comments

There's a beauty to nature I often find others miss, be it patterns in the ground, sky, rocks, plants, or the transient, constantly moving, living, dynamic force to be seen in fire and water. With the latter, because it is constantly moving and often a very transient, it's too fast for our eyes to capture. …

Thinking about or looking for a wedding photographer and wondering what you should be looking for?

Textures

by KitNature 17 August, 2020No Comments

Don't know about you, but I love textures. I can be shooting a wedding and notice some fabulous detail on the dress or out for a walk and see patterns or randomness that just looks pleasant or interesting. Could be a patch of sand, sea, water, ground, fire, sky, trees, bark, leaves, plants, flowers, etc, …

Comet watching

by KitNature 16 August, 2020No Comments

The UK is not exactly known for lots of clear skies and good views of the sky are worse when like me you face a fair amount of light pollution from living in an urban area like mine as well as a fair amount of obstruction of the open sky by surrounding buildings. So I …

After a long sojourn where this website had issues, I'm finally back with a new website, a fresh new look and some new functionality. Hope you enjoy. There's not much been happening during lock-down. I've not been travelling much at all with family and images I have taken have been very much family and friends. …
