It’s hard to believe that the third year of workshops that I’ve been running under the Natural Light Photography Workshops banner with fellow Yorkshire landscape photographer Sam Oakes has just come to a close. We’ve had a great year – here are a few of the highlights… Despite the cold spring and the wet and […]
Travel Postcard – From Corniglia to Vernazza and Levanto
I had a two day Cinque Terre pass so after my hike from Vernazza to Monterosso the previous day I was keen to explore the only other section of the coastal path that was open from Corniglia to Vernazza. I arrived at Corniglia railway station, which is some way below the village itself being perched […]
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 […]
Natural Light Landscape Photography Workshops 2013
With two workshops under our belt our 2013 season of Yorkshire Dales landscape photography workshops is now well under way and we’re looking forward to two sold out courses next month making the most of the wild garlic flowers at Bolton Abbey and Malham. We had a great day at Bolton Abbey last weekend with […]
Australian Travels – Southern Highlands and Sydney
I didn’t see much of Melbourne, just managing a quick tram ride into the city and back, and I set off at about 9am for the only day of solid driving on my trip. Once clear of Melbourne, the Hume Freeway was easy driving at 110km/h, and pretty boring too. The landscape on this side […]
Australian Travels – Great Ocean Road, Victoria
I spent the morning at Lakes Entrance crossing the footbridge and walking on the surf-side beach. It was lovely, but the majesty of this place, where two long spits of land nearly meet providing a narrow sea entrance to Lake Victoria, can only really be seen from above – most photographs of it that I […]
Travel Postcard – The Line to Cromer Pier
In Mark’s second “travel postcard” he explores the North Norfolk coast around the lovely town of Cromer… After a day and a half photographing the big city of Norwich I was in need of a breath of sea air and a trip to Cromer seemed in order, so on a pleasant late summer’s morning I […]
Local History Books
Much of the photography that I’ve been working on over the last few months has been aimed at series of local history books – the Though Time series from Amberley Publishing and the Then & Now series from The History Press. In both cases, the books consist of old images from a particular town or […]
