For me, 2024 was one of the most successful years for photography to date. I got out of a longstanding creative rut, partly thanks to upgrading to some new camera kit which gave me an excuse to get out and try it in anger, and I'd feel guilty spending all that money if it went unused.
It was a year of many firsts for my photography. I found new bluebell woods close to home, and will be returning annually to photograph it at its springtime best over spring in the coming years. I shot my first colorful fly agaric mushroom, I tried shooting with old vintage lenses, and even coordinated a photographic holiday to Budapest, Hungary, leading a workshop with travel pro Jeremy Flint and PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine.
