Back in the 1980s I did an Interrail trip to Eastern Europe, taking in what was then Yugoslavia, going as far south as Split, where the railway ends. I’ve always wanted to carry on the journey down the coast to Dubrovnik, so in May and June this year I set off on a train trip […]
Retirement… and a new (old) website!
I’m very much looking forward to retiring at the end of this week! However, I’m also looking forward to turning my business back into a hobby and getting out to shoot some new images…
2023 Calendars Charity Donations
I’m very pleased to announce that all of the 2023 calendar charity donations have now been sent off to the three charities supported by my 2023 calendars campaign!
The Final Workshop!
It’s the end of an era! After twelve years and approaching 100 workshops, Sam and I ran our final workshop last weekend. It turned out to be a great send-off, despite the best efforts of weather forecasters! We had a day of lovely, diffused light for photographing autumn colours and moving water at Bolton Abbey. […]
Happy Christmas from Mark Sunderland Photography!
I’d just like to wish all of my calendar & jigsaw customers and image & print buyers a very happy and peaceful Christmas and Happy New Year for 2021! Many thanks to everyone that bought one of my 2021 calendars and helped raise money for Harrogate Hospital & Community Charity, Leeds Cares and Yorkshire Air […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Autumn Woodland
I had a first foray of the autumn into some local woodland to see how the colours are coming along before making a longer walk along the Nidd Gorge later in the month. The first stop was Mackintosh Park, which makes a short but pretty loop walk off the Beryl Burton Cycleway by the River […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Whixley and Allerton Mauleverer
As I mentioned in my September Shoots post most of my shoots recently have been on foot, but I did make one train trip in September (my first since February!) all the way to Cattal – one stop down the line towards York… Although the station is called Cattal, it is halfway between Cattal and […]
September Shoots and an Alamy Milestone!
I’ve added quite a few more local images during September with most of my shoots taking place on foot from here in Knaresborough… Although the days are getting shorter and colder, I’m looking forward to the autumn here as the trees in the Nidd Gorge reach their colourful best. There are already hints of autumn […]
Follifoot and Spofforth
Since starting up my outdoor shoots again I’ve been concentrating on local subjects (generally where I can walk to!) with finishing off the selection of images for my 2022 calendar range in mind. One such local walk took me to Follifoot and, as it was a lovely day, on to Spofforth and back to Knaresborough […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Knaresborough
After four months shooting stock images indoors it was great to get out again with a camera last week – though I didn’t go very far, picking a sunny morning for a short walk around Knaresborough to get some local shots for my 2022 calendar range… The castle ruins looked great in the morning sunshine […]
