Incoming Weather, Loch Crabhadail, Harris, Outer Hebrides
We have on our family holidays to the Outer Hebrides visited Husinis on Harris a number of times. Thanks to the spectacular beach there we've never previously ventured beyond it. This year we ventured beyond Husinis and went for a walk around the coast,...
Over Owler Tor, Peak District
I consider myself very lucky to find myself living on the edge of the Peak District, combining a love for exploring the land and photography I try my best to capture some of the beauty the Peak District has to offer. I had to chance to venture out in to...
In Montenegro
I went on holiday a couple of weeks ago to the lovely walled town of Kotor in Montenegro. Whilst photography wasn't the objective, I did manage to take a couple of shots, mainly of flowers that pleased me. Please have a browse of the gallery below and let me...
For the love of X
I own a wonderful camera, but I don't use it nearly as often as I should. This neglected camera is a Hasslebald XPan panoramic film camera, users of new Fuji X's will see where their camera takes its style inspiration from. It shoots 35mm film, but whilst the neg...
To the sea
I've just in the past week returned from a trip to Scotland, where it was such a joy to be out in all sorts of weather with the dog taking landscape photographs and to catch up with friends. One of the main things I was able to do, was to shoot the sky. I've always...
Unsteady
Having not taken anything new with my pinhole cameras in nearly 9 months, I recently bought a pinhole cap for my digital camera, as I missed the pinhole style of photography - maybe not the chemicals, the mess and the scanning 🙂 My first reaction to my first digital...
Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year
When I enter a competition, I'm quite low key about it, as I never win, so no point flagging up the fact you entered, when you ultimately don't win. Whilst I haven't "won", I have been commended (or is that condemned?) with my photograph "Quadrathon" in this year's...
Path, Eskdale, Lake District
Path - a way or track laid down for walking or made by continual treading In October, I had the opportunity to return to what could be my favourite part of the Lake District with my photographer friend Dav Thomas. The area in question was Eskdale in the Western...
Second Chances
In most people's modern hectic lives there is little opportunity to re-visit things - especially if it is your hobby. Between coming home from work, sorting the kids out and being a taxi service at weekends, there is often little time for anything else. That's why...
On pinhole photography
Back in November 2016 at the Onlandscape 2016 Conference, I spoke at one of the lunch time "Lightning Talks" about my "Ties to the Land" pinhole photography project. With only 10 minutes and the threat of being shot at (with a Nerf gun I hasten to add) by David Ward,...
Derwent Reservoir, Peak District
Years ago (25 I think!) whilst studying geography at secondary school, one of the examples of controlling access to the land was the Derwent Reservoir visitor management system. If memory serves, access was controlled via the main car park (at Fairholmes) just...
Best of 2016 (?)
2016 has been a bit of a difficult year. A move away from film photography and I'm still not 100% sure if I will go back to it. I left an industry that I have loved and felt passionate about for 15 years, but the love wasn't getting returned, to move to a new...
