Red Moon
I’m currently watching For All Mankind on Apple TV+. The series is one of a handful that Apple has made free for a “limited time.” Coming from Ron (Battlestar Galactica) Moore, it was for me the most intriguing of Apple’s launch series, and I’m a little under halfway through it and really enjoying it. The…

Wester Ross
In what now seems like an age ago, although it was actually just a couple of weeks ago, I spent the week in Wester Ross, a part of the Scottish Highlands that I hadn’t really visited before. It’s that part of the western Highlands that includes Torridon, Gairloch and Ullapool. I was based in a…

Experiments with Acrylic Ink and Water
The other day I was drinking a cup of tea in one of those cafés where they provide the hot water, tea bag and milk separately. I let the tea brew before stirring the milk in and was entranced by the smokey effect of the milk being stirred into the water. Then I went to…

View From Waterloo Bridge
Taken just after sunset yesterday. A ten-second exposure, so the London Eye is turning and the “Starflyer” swing ride creates some nice lighting effects. Also nicely visible are a crescent moon and venus. Click through to Flickr for larger versions.

UCI World Championships – Harrogate 2019
With the first home cycling World Championships since they were at Goodwood in 1982 (which very much predates my interest in cycling), I was always going to be spending late September in Yorkshire. There were a series of events held over a week, but I headed up after the time trials had taken place, reaching…

Painted Lady
Only seen every ten years or so, there are currently millions of Painted Lady butterflies in the UK. At the weekend, I saw them everywhere, and the above is one of my favourite images. Note the curled proboscis – effectively the butterfly’s ‘tongue.’ More photos over on Flickr.

Lego Apollo 11 Lunar Lander
Yes – I built one of these. I even queued at the London Lego store to pick one up in person. It’s fantastic!

The Cindy Sherman exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London right now is well worth visiting.

Tour de France 2019 – Brussels Grand Depart
Sometime during Glastonbury (a blog still to come), I suddenly realised that it had been far too long since I’d been to see the Tour de France in person. 2015 was the last time I’d been there, when I’d taken my bike to the Pyrenees to both watch the race and do a little cycling.…

North Norfolk
I spent a few days in Norfolk over Easter, and along with a few bits of video I shot prior to that, I made this video. The drone footage was shot with a DJI Mavic Pro, while the remaining footage was shot with a DJI Osmo Pocket. The accompanying photos were shot using the same…

Orchids – Colours of Colombia at Kew Gardens
Somehow it has been years and years since I last visited Kew Gardens. I managed to visit on the penultimate day of their Orchids – Colours of Colombia exhibition, which seems to have proved wildly popular. I got down to Kew just after opening on Friday and the guy at the ticket desk suggested that…

Photography Portfolio
For those who are interested, I’ve just rebuilt my photography portfolio, which incorporates a bit of video and screen printing too. The link at the top now takes you to an exciting new page, adambowie.photography which has a much neater design asthetic. Yes, I’m using one of those new(ish) domains. And it should be full…
