One of my favourite subjects to shoot in St Andrews is the spectacular castle ruin on The Scores. It makes a great sunrise subject – and it’s only five minutes walk from the lovely apartment where I stay, which is a bonus! The sunrise shoot works best when a nice clear morning coincides with low […]
I’m just back from a trip to St Andrews, which has become a regular winter visit over the past few years with delightful sunrise and sunset locations available just a short walk from the cosy flat on The Scores and so much more to explore along the Fife coast. I’ve barely scratched the surface with […]
Last week I had another walk along part of the River Nidd that I haven’t explored with a camera for a while. The forecast had been for overcast weather, but the sky was blue when I left so I wasn’t sure how well reflections in the river would work… By the time I got to […]
Most of last week was spent in the office, but I managed to fit in a quick shoot in Ripon one afternoon, travelling light with my Olympus OM-D E-M10. I started off at the impressive cathedral with its imposing west front, which was lit by some rather watery sunlight with a heavy grey sky behind […]
The weather forecast for the middle of last week was for still days with flat grey skies which sounded very much to me like waterfall weather. So I decided to pay Goitstock Falls a visit for the first time. The waterfall is situated in Goitstock Wood near Cullingworth in West Yorkshire. I walked from Cullingworth […]
Following my previous food shoot which was quite fruitful (no pun intended) and, more importantly, following a large grocery delivery I decided to set up camp in the kitchen again for a morning last week and make a few more images. Having exhausted the new supply of ingredients I turned my attention to processes, starting […]
On overcast days it’s often best to head for woods and water, so on such a day last week I set myself the project of photographing reflections of winter trees in the river. There was a light breeze which kept ruffling the surface of the water so rather than a glass-like reflection the resulting images […]
With a biting wind outside I was looking for something close to home to shoot last week and eventually settled for possibly the easiest location – my kitchen! Nice and warm and with easy access to the kettle for a cup of tea… I have covered food subjects before, though I’m not that interested […]
Here’s the first post in what I hope will be a regular Last Week’s Shoot feature – just a quick post with some recent images and maybe the story behind them or some other verbiage depending on what seems appropriate at the time! This time it’s my first shoot of 2015, having spent the first […]
Well, I’ve caught up on all the post-processing and it’s the last week before the Christmas break so I thought now would be as good a time as any to post a belated Travel Postcard from my summer holiday in Suffolk! We were based in Aldeburgh on the lovely Suffolk coast and for our first […]
