Our 2018 workshops season is now under way, so here’s a quick round-up of what we’ll be up to this year… This will be the eighth year of Natural Light Workshops, which I run jointly with fellow Yorkshire photographer Sam Oakes. We’ll be going back to old favourite locations at Malham with a great choice […]
As we’ve now finalised the 2017 schedule for the workshops that I run jointly with fellow Yorkshire photographer Sam Oakes, under the Natural Light Photography Workshops banner, I thought I’d have a quick look at a few of my own favourite places (and times) throughout our workshop season… When we first set up the workshops […]
Last week’s shoot was actually a workshop recce for Natural Light Photography Workshops along with Sam Oakes and his dog Ella, a black labrador, and proved to be quite a fruitful day for waterfall images… We parked in Stainforth and walked up the old Goat Scar Lane which rises steadily up towards Catrigg Force waterfall. […]
Amateur Photographer magazine asked me to write a short feature on one camera kit accessory that I couldn’t live without, so I chose my trusty Osprey Talon 44 bag. Here’s the article… I’ve tried a variety of camera bags over the years from light shoulder bags for a day out in the city to camera […]
As mentioned in my recent A Walk on Lismore post, my other favourite island walk on my summer trip to Oban was Kerrera, the island closest to Oban that protects Oban Bay from the worst of the weather. After a hearty Scottish breakfast at the B+B in Oban, I set off along Gallanach Road toward […]
I had been hoping to explore some different moorland this August but with a trip to Scotland coming up at the end of the month (more on that soon) I only managed to fit in a quick trip to Ilkley for a stroll on the moor. Still, I’d not been for quite a while, so […]
I’ve visited Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal on many occasions but I had never walked there from Ripon so thought it was about time to explore some of the footpaths along the valley of the River Skell. I set out along the river but headed off on the path toward Whitcliffe Hall, eventually entering Studley […]
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 […]
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 […]
