This summer I am going to start playing golf again. I am off to Portugal in September with a few mates and we are going to play a few rounds there. I use to play quite a lot a few years ago, but recently got out of the ‘swing’ of it (excuse the pun!)

So with the warm weather I have bought myself a new pair of mens shorts so I can get my legs tanned as I am playing.

I bought these Nike Groove ones – especially for golf and they are the nuts! They were only £24.99 from Amazon and they are going to look great on the golf course. Do you know what they are probably going to be better than my game!

So I have just got back from three months of travelling around Europe. I did the standard tours of France, Spain, Italy and Germany as well as few more freaky deaky stop offs in Russia, Poland and Holland. During my time I got some absolutely amazing images that I’ll be uploading in the next few months or so, I also learnt quite a lot about being a travelling photographer. Rule number one obviously being, prepare for the worst.
If it can get lost, it will get lost. I’m talking about everything from a case or lens cap to the Camera Battery . Make sure that you have spares of everything, or if not spares, easy access to replacements. It’s best to perhaps source out any nearby shops that can stock you up immediately if you know that you will be doing some big shoots.
There other thing is to take more than one camera. Different cameras are better for different shots as we all know. Some are also more appropriate in different settings. For example when I was shooting around the Vatican my massive SLR would just not have been very respectful. Do you research and know your boundaries.

It’s natural to want to getting more bang for your buck when traveling. I’ve always been approached by friends from outside the UK when they plan their UK holiday. The commonest question I’ve encounter is, “Is it expensive to visit London?” to which the answer I never fail to provide is a resounding “NO”. Most people would think that London is an illustrious city, full of wonders and accessible only to richer tourists. Yes, London IS full of wonders but it is surprisingly affordable for travelers from all walks of life.
When it comes to accommodation, swanky hotels like The Ritz and the Savoy Hotel are naturally not within reach for those who are budget conscious, but they may opt for equally excellent places of accommodation such as The Mayflower Hotel, Fullers Hotel and even the quirky Hotel 167.
Key places that should go into your must-visit list are the Buckingham Palace and the Westminster Abbey. These places are worth visiting because they are at the heart of London itself. And when you tire of the historical spots and art galleries, you can take a stroll at the London Hyde Park and have a picnic after you visit the Diana Memorial Fountain.
