It was during a conversation about TriggerSnappy in which someone mentioned to me that he was having trouble finding images of certain cars that a light-bulb switched on in my head ( a rare and joyous occasion!) and I almost visibly lit up with the following inspired idea: An image request service on TriggerSnappy!

For designers it means you can ‘order’ exactly the photos you are looking for and for photographers it means the challenge of working to a brief and more importantly, a greater chance of selling your snaps. You might enjoy the challenge of being in competition with other photographers, or it might just help to broaden your subject matter and portfolio…

Whilst enjoying my daily read of the Metro on my commute to work yesterday, I discovered that The Museum of London have been holding a competition to capture London in different weather conditions as part of its ‘Weather Permitting: London’s changing climate’ display. Ten photos have been short-listed, and I must say, they are stunning. Go check them out here.

Having lived on the South coast of England for seven years now, I continue to be amazed at the ever-changing sea-state and skyline and the ability for the weather here to resemble something out of ‘The Day After tomorrow’, followed five minutes later by the most glorious sunshine ever experienced. With climate change being such a ‘hot topic’ and snowmen popping up everywhere in March, this certainly seems like a good subject to have a go with! Perhaps some of you already have equally stunning shots of climate-driven scenery? I’d love to see them!

Here are some of my shots taken over the years, though admittedly with a rather dated camera phone so don’t get too excited …
