Over the years I posted some stuff to my Galleries on Digital Photography Review.

The easiest way to look at those images is to use the slideshow feature of that site and click “Play” and “Full Screen”.

There are lots of images there  (including some interesting winter shots) so best to brew a cup of tea to keep awake!
