Filmed this afternoon on the roof of my house. I looked out the window and saw feathers floating around, and heard all sorts of activity on the roof. So I went outside and found myself staring face to face with this formidable predator. Dashed back in to get camera and managed to get a few shots. The peregrine actually dropped the bird off the roof as he was mobbed by seagulls and crows.

What a strange phenomenon it is, to find dog mess preserved in plastic bags and hung conspicuously in front of you, when enjoying a walk in the countryside.

I decided to make a short documentary on the issue one afternoon at Ashclyst Forest and interviewed a few obliging dog owners.

Dan Haygarth from Fantastic Illuminations had an ageing flash-based website which naturally wasn't performing well on search engines, and was very difficult for him and his team to maintain. Learn more about our Bath, Bradford-on-Avon & Devizes website design service.

Phototropic came up with a new search-engine accessible website for Fantastic Illuminations, and powered it with SetSeed so they could easily control their own content. The website serves two purposes. One is to showcase their extensive events lighting service and the other is to sell products. SetSeed's built-in eCommerce system makes this simple and they have added hundreds of products to their site.

This is what Dan Haygarth from Fantastic Illuminations said about us:

Phototropic (Ben Vallack) demystifies the black magic world of web site design and more importantly for us, the ability to make changes, add pages etc in real time without the need of any third party companies. It is a dream, simple, straight forward and good value. If you need to edit your web site content on a regular basis to keep your site current and fresh I have no hesitation in recommending Phototropic Productions.
