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 […]

The Great Copyright Infringement Debacle

I grew up in the brewing town of Tadcaster in North Yorkshire and was therefore greatly saddened by the damage to the fine old bridge over the River Wharfe caused by the recent flooding which hit the national news.  I’ve therefore been following related stories about Tadcaster quite closely recently and was pleased to see […]

A Walk Around Ribblehead

I’m progressing steadily with the processing backlog and am looking at images from a couple of trips to Ribblehead in the rugged three peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales at the moment.  It’s a great place to explore by train, with Ribblehead station being just a short walk from the impressive Victorian viaduct striding across […]

The Penine Bridleway below Great Knoutberry Hill with Ingleborough in the Distance Dentdale Yorkshire Dales Cumbria England

A Walk Around Dentdale

I’m still catching up on the processing from July, so here are a few images from the walk around the upper part of Dentdale in the middle of the month. I’d gone mainly with getting some shots of the Artengill and Dent Head viaducts in mind and thought they’d look best from the hillside above […]

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 […]
