Here is a collection of some of my favourite photos taken on my academic nomadic journeys. Most of them were shot with a phone and they may have been Instagram’ed for the filters. You can expect a mixture of scenic and scientific.
(Note this album will be updated as I take new photos – come back later to see what’s new!)
I was already trying to take a picture of the moon through the plane window so I was playing around with the low light settings on my camera. Then we passed over London – perfect! Taken December 2014.
UK on Sunday evening. One of my favourite pictures of the UK from above. Taken July 2014.
Jodrell Bank from above. Taken July 2013.
This photo comes out for every Christmas / end of year talk. Taken sometime in 2010 (I think!).
