    South Africa vs Australia Test Match at Newlands – March 2014

    ByDMcA March 22, 2014March 24, 2014

    Some high speed telephoto shots of the South African’s herculean and ultimately unsuccessful efforts to win the final Test of the series. My chum M*rt*n is, as you would imagine, both a member of Lords, and of the Newlands club in Cape Town.  Newlands has to be one of the most spectacular grounds in the…

    London Geometry

    ByDMcA March 15, 2014

    Some recent photographs which focus on lines and shapes, taken in and around London.       These shots are possibly more ‘urban landscape’ than street photography, in that there is minimal evidence of people and the compositions rely more on shapes than content.  With the exception of the last one, they were taken with…

    The Wolfberg Cracks and Arch – David’s photographs

    ByDMcA February 20, 2014February 20, 2014

    Full-size photographs of the amazing scenery of the Wolfberg cracks and arch from our trip last November.     The previous post covered Martin’s account of our exciting experience in the Wolfberg arch and cracks in the Cederberg park, South Africa. The nature of that post required in-line, smaller images, most of which were of…

    The Wolfberg Cracks and Arch – M*rt*n’s story

    ByDMcA February 14, 2014February 14, 2014

    Last November M*rt*n and I travelled to the Cederbergs – a spectacular mountain region several hundred km north of Cape Town for a hike to the Wolfberg Cracks and Arch. This is M*rtin’s story of our adventure (and it really was sort of an adventure!)     The area known as “The Cederberg” starts about…

    The ruined villas of Kep-sur-Mer

    ByDMcA January 31, 2014January 31, 2014

    A final photo-essay from our  trip last autumn. This time it is the elegiac ruined villas of Kep – a place of many surprises, including the provenance of these buildings.     One of the things I had heard about Kep was the abandoned villas that were scattered through the area.  They weren’t particularly apparent…

    Cambodia – the crab ladies of Kep

    ByDMcA January 24, 2014January 26, 2014

    A photographic study of the crab catchers – all women –  of Kep on the Cambodian south coast.       Following our exciting adventures in Myanmar, the CD and I traveled on to visit our dear friends M & P in Phnomh Phen.  I had wanted for some time to visit old French colonial…

Latest News September 2021

“Still alive and able to get about quite well” is the overall report.  We are all fine, albeit with the usual ups and downs.  The site has been spiffed up a bit, and should be faster and easier to navigate.  I might even put some new content on – see What’s happening? for more info.

On other fronts, I think my photography techniques and images have improved quite a lot  over the last 4 years, and I have discovered a fascination for the technical and technique challenges of photographing birds in flight.  Have a look at mcaughtry.photo to see if you agree.  I have also discovered the delights of artisan coffee, and have built a spiffy state of the art digital audiophile music system, all of which I may write about in the future. So no shortage of things to interest or infuriate me.

But most of all my life has been enriched and inspired by my two beautiful and funny grandchildren, 5 and 2 years old as I write.  Why couldn’t I have been like this when I was their age I ask myself?  I am privileged to know them and my heart skips on each encounter.
