A quick request out to tintii users on flickr — any photos that you’ve put up where you’ve used tintii somewhere in the process of preparation, please tag with "tintii". What I’d like to do is get a group together soon to collect these examples together into one place. There’s a certain critical mass needed for such a group to be successful, so we’ll just start with this simple tagging scheme for now to see if there are enough of us out there.

Please drop me an email to let me know if you have tintii photos up on other websites, or even just send your work to me, it’s always great to see!

I’ve finally finished the long upload of photos from our recent trip around southern Africa — Johannesburg to Cape Town — 7,200km through South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia. I purchased a new 300mm lens for the occasion to try a bit of wildlife shooting on our game drives, and managed what I hope are some nice shots. Other challenges were trying to capture the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever witnessed, and picking just a few of so many inspiring scenes in the Namib desert, which turned out not to disappoint as the "photographer’s dream" we were told it was.

Here’s a taste, but see the photography page for the full set:

A few more photos added today from a day walk to Loch Avon, in the Cairngorms near Aviemore:

I’ve added a couple of new sets of photos from a recent trip to Berlin. A few from about town:

Plus a special set for my girlfriend Alison:

Enjoy!
