News from Gavin Bickerton-Jones Photography

Spent 2 days of location with 'The Pebble and the Boy' film crew up in Bury, doing scene stills and behind scene shots. There were a number of locations in and around Bury for this Mod road movie, and director Chris Green kept everything moving along quickly as we moved around from location to location. Great crew to work with, and lead actors Sacha Parkinson and Paddy Mcnamee were nice and accomodating to work with as well. The Canon EOS R came into its own here with the light weight and silent...

Nice evening spent by some woodland in Essex where there are Foxes around.

It looked like they were getting hunting lessons, so I stopped the car, grabbed my camera from the passenger seat and crept out to use the car as a hide, hoping they wouldn't fly off! I lent the camera on the roof and got some shots as one owlet flew over to the other one and looked like it gave it a kiss and cuddle bef...
