I’ve got to admit – I’m sat here feeling a little sorry for myself. Checking the forecasts for this weekend suggested that yesterday afternoon was the best chance for sunset and today’s sun rise would be none existant. How wrong they got that! I don’t usually ever wake up at home when the sun is … Read more

So you may have noticed that the last few weeks has been slightly grey, damp, miserable and generally enough to make any photographer go stir crazy. It may seem like I haven’t been going out taking images but unfortunately I had…just you don’t get to see the images I take where nothing happens. In the … Read more

Well the weather here today is boring, thick overcast clouds and no wind to blow them on. With not a hint of light around I’m sat here bored wanting to go out with the camera but alas I decided I’d make use of my time and finally catch up with website updates I’ve either not … Read more

Repost from July 2012: Winnats Pass is a limestone gorge near Castleton. It is the only road out of Castleton to the west. The A625 (now the A6187)  under Mam Tor used to be a route out, but it was closed in 1979 due to continuing land slides (well worth a visit if you’re in … Read more

Another repost, this time from July: So another week of rain it would seem. It just doesn’t seem to end. I know it’s driving people up the wall and in terms of photography the social networks have certainly been quiet these last couple of months. However, I seem to be doing alright. I keep edging … Read more

Repost of Lake District Photography from April 2012 – Old version removed Just a few images I took while staying an extra couple of days in the Lake District after wild camping.

Sometimes landscape photography can be frustrating, you can spend weeks without making a single image your happy with and then some days you get heaps of light where it’s almost impossible to make a bad image. While recently I’ve not had a huge dry spell, in the last couple of months it’s been a little … Read more

I went down to the Malverns the first time at the end of November. Not lying in a national park and no hills of significant height they really weren’t on my radar. I had passed them a few times on the M5 when down in that area and thought they looked interesting and seen a … Read more

Saddleworth Moor isn’t blessed with popularity and doesn’t have stories of joy. Speak to most people and they’ll say bleak, featureless and the moors murders. However, I was sure there was more to the area than this and had seen a few good pictures of grand landscapes from the area so I had to make … Read more

Repost from April 2012 due to the old blog being removed, I have now learnt that the lights have been changed to white on the Wirksworth StarDisc so a revisit may also be on the cards. I’m always interested in finding new and interesting locations that have impact and haven’t really been “discovered” yet photographically. … Read more
