The train from Turin arrived at La Spezia more or less on time but with the end of day crowds at the station I didn’t quite have enough time to catch the connection back one stop to Riomaggiore but this gave me time to visit the Cinque Terre office and pick up a map and […]
Travel Postcard – A Morning in Turin
Night had already fallen the previous evening by the time I’d arrived on the TGV from Paris and checked in to my hotel, so there was no chance of a dusk photo shoot, but after a bite to eat I wandered round the clean and spacious floodlit squares in the centre of Turin to get […]
Travel Postcard – Lunch in Paris…
A cheap flight to Pisa would probably have been the quickest way to start off my recent trip to the Cinque Terre on Italy’s lovely Ligurian coast, but as it was a birthday trip I wanted to do something a bit special and opted for travelling overland by train, which has always been my favourite […]
Lone Tree at Sunset
I’ve just had another look at this image from from a few years back and was quite pleased with the result and decided to add it to my collection on Fine Art America, so I just thought I’d share the story behind it on here… I’d been looking to get a nice lone tree with […]
Focus on Malham, Yorkshire Dales
The area around Malham in the Yorkshire Dales provides a great selection of photographic subjects throughout the year, so it’s not surprising that it’s one of my favourite locations for the landscape photography workshops that I run with fellow Yorkshire photographer Sam Oakes under the banner Natural Light Photography Workshops. With so much to offer […]
Travel Postcard – Fife Coastal Path from Kingsbarns
In this travel postcard, Mark heads to Scotland and explores the Fife Coast from Kingsbarns up to St Andrews… I took an early bus in St Andrews headed down the coast towards Crail and got off at the pretty village of Kingsbarns. Â I’d noticed Buddo Rock and the Rock and Spindle formations on my […]
Australian Travels – Southern Highlands and Sydney
I didn’t see much of Melbourne, just managing a quick tram ride into the city and back, and I set off at about 9am for the only day of solid driving on my trip. Once clear of Melbourne, the Hume Freeway was easy driving at 110km/h, and pretty boring too. The landscape on this side […]
Australian Travels – Great Ocean Road, Victoria
I spent the morning at Lakes Entrance crossing the footbridge and walking on the surf-side beach. It was lovely, but the majesty of this place, where two long spits of land nearly meet providing a narrow sea entrance to Lake Victoria, can only really be seen from above – most photographs of it that I […]
Travel Postcard – The Line to Cromer Pier
In Mark’s second “travel postcard” he explores the North Norfolk coast around the lovely town of Cromer… After a day and a half photographing the big city of Norwich I was in need of a breath of sea air and a trip to Cromer seemed in order, so on a pleasant late summer’s morning I […]
Australian Travels – South Coast, New South Wales
When I told friends in the UK that I was going to Australia they immediately asked if I was going to Ayers Rock, The Great Barrier Reef or New Zealand. I politely suggested that that might be attempting too much for a three week trip and said that I’d be concentrating on Sydney and Melbourne […]
