Monday morning and new video time: youtu.be/JoTCmBHS8Ho This time it's a little different. Shot in Amsterdam, this video is practical advice on how to use "repetition" in your holiday/travel photos. It is as relevant to phone photographers as it is to anyone using a bigger camera.

This is Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands – youtu.be/Q01l6gTpBEk What is significant about this video is that all the photos were made using just a camera phone rather than with my big canon camera. I wanted to prove that you don't need a big professional to make great images on your travels.
