Travel Postcard – From Vernazza to Monterosso

After the short train ride (mainly through tunnels) from Riomaggiore, I wandered down Vernazza’s busy main street to the harbour and the pretty Santa Margherita Church before exploring the colourful alleyways leading up from the harbour towards the castle. By this time of day it was starting to get rather warm, so the shade of the narrow […]

Travel Postcard – A Stroll Around Riomaggiore

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 above Conistone

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 […]

Amble Through The Lens 2013

I was asked to judge the ‘Coast and Castles’ landscape photography category in this year’s Amble Through The Lens photography competition, organised by St Cuthbert’s church in Amble, Northumberland. It was great to see so many great landscape images of the Northumberland coast – many familiar locations but also one or two that I didn’t […]

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 […]
