New Mill by the River Aire at Dusk Saltaire West Yorkshire England

Last Week’s Shoot – Saltaire Reflections

I chose a sunny winter afternoon for a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saltaire near Bradford in West Yorkshire with a nice reflection of the New Mill in the River Aire at dusk in mind.  Saltaire is a model village built in 1851 by Sir Titus Salt, an industrialist in the Yorkshire […]

Last Week’s Shoot – Ribblehead in Winter

Here’s the latest in the Last Week’s Shoot series that I would have posted last week if I’d not been caught up in the Great Copyright Infringement Debacle instead!  I picked a day with a rather chilly, but sunny weather forecast – though with the lowest windspeed of the week which made walking around Ribblehead […]

Waterfall at Hull Pot and Pen Y Ghent

Last Week’s Shoot – Hull Pot

I’m now just about up to date on my image processing, so here’s another “Last Week’s Shoot” post on a visit to Hull Pot below the slopes of Pen-Y-Ghent in Ribblesdale (actually the week before last, but near enough!). From Horton-in-Ribblesdale station I walked down into the village and picked up the Pennine Way, following […]

Simonside from Dove Crag in the Simonside Hills near Rothbury Northumberland England

Last Week’s Shoot – Simonside Hills

As predicted, I’ve still been working through the backlog of images from my recent visit to Northumberland this week, so this week’s Last Week’s Shoot is actually a Last Month’s Shoot!  This was probably the highlight of the trip – a walk from Rothbury over the Simonside Hills and back. I headed out of Rothbury […]

Amble Harbour Entrance and Coquet Estuary at Dusk

Last Week’s Shoot – Amble Harbour

I had a few days in Northumberland last week, and the week before, taking in Amble by the Sea, Alnwick and the lovely Simonside Hills near Rothbury, and I think there may need to be some upcoming “Last Month’s Shoot” posts as I’m only just  getting round to processing the images!  However, I’ve done a […]

Ornate Glass Roof at The County Arcade in the Victoria Quarter, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England

Last Week’s Shoot – Leeds Arcades

It’s been a while since I did any city photography in the centre of Leeds and a few things have changed so I decided to head back there with the trusty OM-D and update my collection. In the famous Victoria Quarter I wandered through the selection of lovely old arcades leading off either side of […]

Twigs against a Tree and Bluebells in Middleton Woods

Last Week’s Shoot – Middleton Woods

Last week I had a visit to a favourite haunt for bluebell photography – Middleton Woods near Ilkley in West Yorkshire.  Despite being midweek the woods were quite busy with walkers and photographers enjoying the scenery – and it was easy to see why as the crop of bluebells was spectacular this year! I started […]

Spring Foliage and Doorway with Coat of Arms in the Courtyard at The Kings Manor, University of York, Exhibition Square, York

Last Week’s Shoot – York in Spring

I managed to fit in a trip to York with the OM-D last week.  It’s a place I’ve photographed many times and I was just looking for a few fresh spring images, so I was surprised to come home with so many new images, including subjects I’d never even seen before! I arrived at the […]

Cherry Blossom on The Stray in Spring Harrogate North Yorkshire England

Last Week’s Shoot – Spring Flowers

It seemed that spring well and truly arrived last week, and promptly left again by the weekend, but while it was with us I managed a  couple of trips out locally with the trusty OM-D… I had a quick trip to Harrogate to look at the spring flowers along West Park and on Montpellier Hill, […]

Stones at The Druids Temple

Last Week’s Shoot – Devils and Druids

As most of last week was taken up with rebuilding a laptop due to a disk failure I didn’t get as much photography done as I had hoped, but managed to visit two locations in Yorkshire that I’ve never been to, in the same afternoon, which was nice! The first stop was at Boroughbridge to […]
