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 […]

Slice of Freshly Baked Warm Wholemeal Bread with Butter

Last Week’s Shoot – Bread!

Following my previous food shoot which was quite fruitful (no pun intended) and, more importantly, following a large grocery delivery I decided to set up camp in the kitchen again for a morning last week and make a few more images. Having exhausted the new supply of ingredients I turned my attention to processes, starting […]

Eddies in a River

Last Week’s Shoot – Winter Reflections

On overcast days it’s often best to head for woods and water, so on such a day last week I set myself the project of photographing reflections of winter trees in the river. There was a light breeze which kept ruffling the surface of the water so rather than a glass-like reflection the resulting images […]

Brown Free Range Egg and Tablespoon in a Glass Bowl

Last Week’s Shoot – Food!

With a biting wind outside I was looking for something close to home to shoot last week and eventually settled for possibly the easiest location – my kitchen!  Nice and warm and with easy access to the kettle for a cup of tea…   I have covered food subjects before, though I’m not that interested […]

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 […]

The Scallop Sculpture on Aldeburgh Beach

Travel Postcard – Aldeburgh and Thorpeness

Well, I’ve caught up on all the post-processing and it’s the last week before the Christmas break so I thought now would be as good a time as any to post a belated Travel Postcard from my summer holiday in Suffolk! We were based in Aldeburgh on the lovely Suffolk coast and for our 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 […]
