One of my favourite areas of photography is travel photography. Be that photos taken on holiday in the UK, or further afield. I would love to get some feedback on what you guys think are my best travel photos.

I think the photo above, of the blue car driving through the streets of Havana, Cuba, is probably my favourite travel photo. What do you think though, I would really appreciate if you guys could tell me what are your top 4 favourite travel photos that I have taken. You can have a look at the full collection in the travel segment of my flickr.

If you go have a little look at the travel photos on there, and then come back to the blog and leave a comment on this post. Thanks.

When my brother and I were younger, we would always go with our parents on family holidays. Quite often the holidays would have been to England in the caravan. I always enjoyed going away on these trips, and I think it’s down to these that I have such a love of travel. However, I don’t think I ever really appreciated some of the places we went to, gardens, estates, mansions, quaint little villages etc, and I usually got bored quickly.

Now that I am older though, and also because I am a photographer, I am coming to realise how great these places we went to really were. I want to revisit the places my parents took me as a child. Recently, I had a week off work, and Lorraine and I headed to one of these places. We flew over to Bristol, hired a car and drove up to the Cotswolds fo a few days. It was brilliant, to just relax, with no plans, and appreciate the beautiful area of England we were in. We made the most of the car hire and unlimited mileage, we stayed in Bourton on the Water, and visited Lower Slaughter, Burford, Stow on the Wold, Stratford Upon Avon, Oxford and Bath.

As always, Lorraine has all the ‘normal’ photos, and I spent a lot of time behind my SLR.

Time for an update. 

Firstly I must apologise to those of you who actually visit my blog in a browser rather than via RSS. You guys will have noticed the theme changing quite a lot over the past few weeks. I had toyed with the idea of this becoming a photo-blog but  have changed my mind on that, and I am now looking for theme that isn’t predominately photo based, but is still simple. 

Hopefully within the coming weeks I will have 2 blogs, one will be this blog, a personal blog, and the other one will be a professional blog as part of a new photography website that will be coming hopefully in the near future. There may be a crossover in some of the content however. 

I have been doing photography for a few years now, and I love it. It really is my passion, and I finally am taking the steps, to actually set up my own business. Its something I have talked about for ages, and within the coming weeks that may be realised. So when the new website is all up and running, you will have to stop by, and subscribe to the new blog that will be there. 

Last weekend, Lorraine and I, along with Stephen and Louise headed up to Donegal for the day. To a village in the north west, Downings, While we were up there we took a drive around the coast, and found a great little secluded beach, Tra na Rossan bay. It was beautiful. Stephen and Louise just got engaged a few days before hand, so we decided to do some engagement photos in the lovely location while we were there.
