I try to pay a visit to Middleton Woods every spring to marvel at what is always a great display of bluebells, but with concentrating on other woodland this spring I didn’t have a day with suitable weather available until the end of the month and after a period of heavy rain so I thought […]
I’ve just completed a series of very enjoyable spring shoots on behalf on the Woodland Trust in two local Yorkshire woodlands looking for fresh images of bluebells, wild garlic and spring foliage. The woodlands in question were Nidd Gorge Woods (very handy for me being close to Knaresborough) and Skipton Woods, which are an easy […]
Last week’s shoot was a shoot with a difference as I actually had the day off and had arranged to meet a good friend outside The Crucible in Sheffield to go to a session of snooker at the World Snooker Championships. I took the little Olympus OM-D E-M10 along just in case as Kate had […]
I have photographed in Northumberland a number of times over the past few years both on the coast and in the national park, staying with my sister at Amble by the Sea (a great spot for exploring the county) but as she’s due to move back to Yorkshire soon I quickly planned in another two […]
As the nights are drawing out a bit I picked York for a recent dusk shoot, as it’s only half an hour from Knaresborough by train so I could do the shoot and still get back at a reasonable time! I picked Exhibition Square as my location for dusk, as I’ve only done it once […]
During my recent trip to St Andrews I had my first visit to the nearby Tentsmuir Forest, which is an easy walk from Tayport on the northern Fife coast so I combined exploring the forest with a dusk shoot at Tayport harbour. I picked an afternoon with the most overcast and still weather forecast of […]
Since turning digital in 2004 I’ve been using Canon cameras (mainly the original 5D and 5D MkII) with a set of f4 L zoom lenses for my landscape work and have been very happy with the results. The f4 zooms save a bit of weight over quality f2.8 lenses, but the full kit is still […]
On my recent St Andrews shoot the most promising forecast for a decent sunrise shoot was (unfortunately) on the Sunday morning, so I was up at 5am to brave the hour’s walk along the Fife Coastal Path to the Rock and Spindle, which I’d seen during the day and at dusk before and thought it […]
This was my third visit to St Monans, one of the lovely fishing villages along the Fife coast, but my first opportunity to photograph the zig-zag breakwater from the harbour, which was the main reason for my return. I was spending a few days based in St Andrews and took a trip down to the […]
Having had a look at the fine modern bridge in Castleford the week before, I decided to head out that way again last week, just a little further downstream on the River Aire, to have a look at the famous Ferrybridge Power Station, particularly as it’s due to close soon. I took the train to […]
