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 […]

Reflected Branches and Sky

Last Week’s Shoot – River Reflections

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 […]

Ripon Cathedral

Last Week’s Shoot – Ripon with an OM-D

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 […]

Stone Slabs and Goitstock Waterfall

Last Week’s Shoot – Goitstock Waterfall

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 […]

Castle Ruin and Winter Trees

Last Week’s Shoot – Knaresborough

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 […]

Think Snow at Knaresborough by Mark Sunderland

Thick Snow in Knaresborough

A new Christmassy Knaresborough card in Mark Denton’s range of panoramic cards – and the first one not by Mark Denton! I’m pleased to announce that my wintry image of Knareborough Viaduct and the River Nidd from the Castle Top is now available in Mark Denton’s range of panoramic greetings cards as card no. 227 […]

Boats on The Dock at Dusk

Robin Hood’s Bay in Summer

As winter approaches I thought now would be a good time to look back at some summer photography.  I had a visit to Robin Hood’s Bay in August and although this was by no means my first visit to this attractive old fishing village on the Yorkshire Coast it was the first time I’d had […]

The Photographer’s Guide to The Yorkshire Dales

I’ve just taken delivery of a really useful little book entitled The Photographer’s Guide to The Yorkshire Dales from Ellen Bowness of Long Valley Books.  I can heartily recommend it to any photographer planning to go out and capture the Yorkshire Dales on camera.  It also features seven of my images, including a Swaledale shot […]

Gordale Scar, Malhamdale, Yorkshire Dales, England

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 […]
