This shoot is actually from the week before last – you remember when it was briefly summer? – but it’s taken me until now to get all of the images processed up! I decided to use the sunny spring weather to freshen up my image collection of York… From the station I had a wander […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Castle Hill, Huddersfield
I’ve been meaning to have a trip to Castle Hill for a while so on a rare (so far at least) sunny spring day last week I took the train over to Berry Brow station (a couple of stops down the Penistone Line from Huddersfield) and took the steep slog up the hill – it’s […]
Yorkshire Dales Workshops 2018
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 […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Snow!
Despite the wintry weather I managed to get out to take some local photographs four days in a row last week! I started on foot in Knaresborough with a few atmospheric images as the snow began to fall. On the snowiest morning, the main roads were still clear so I headed to Ripon (by bus […]
Last Week’s Shoot – The Piece Hall at Dusk
Last week I had a trip to Halifax to look at The Piece Hall – my first visit since the re-opening last year with the new courtyard. I arrived in the afternoon to a rather overcast sky, but the low winter sun kept breaking through to light up the building and the old church spire […]
Haworth at Dusk
I’ve not managed to get out with the camera that much so far this year with lots of jobs in the office to deal with, but I did have another trip to Haworth recently, as I’d wanted return to photograph the Main Street at dusk – and winter is a great time to do this […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Ripon at Christmas
I had a fairly easy shoot last week – an afternoon trip up to Ripon to shoot some Christmassy shots around the cathedral and market place at dusk… I started at the cathedral and did a few sunset shots first and then waited for the floodlights to come on as dusk arrived. The view along […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Driffield and Hull
Having stayed over with friends in Driffield after a visit to the coast at Scarborough, I was planning to return via Hull for a third visit to look at the 2017 UK City of Culture. The weather forecast was a but iffy – mostly showers, but I was hoping for a decent dusk shoot nonetheless. […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Skipton Woods
This was actually a walk on my day off after our final workshop of the season at Bolton Abbey. The colours in Strid Wood had been fantastic during the workshop, so a look at nearby Skipton Castle Woods was in order – and as this was a day off I just grabbed the trusty little […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Birk Crag
I have wandered through the Pine Woods at Harrogate a number of times on visits to Harlow Carr gardens but have never explored the woods at nearby Birk Crag, so with the autumn colours coming to their peak I picked a nice still overcast day last week to explore… There is an area of woodland […]
