So I returned from the Isle Of Skye around 2 weeks ago now and those that follow me on other social networking sites will have seen me drip feeding some of my images through pretty much day by day. I didn’t want to write this blog until I had got most of the images out … Read more

Sgurr Na Stri Wild Camping Last week saw me up on the Isle Of Skye for a week staying in Kilbride near Torrin. One of my objectives was to complete a wild camp or two depending on the conditions. One of my main locations I had my sites set on was a little hill called … Read more
Last Sunday saw me out and about in the Peak District again aiming to capture a sunset at Shutlinsgloe. Shutlingsloe is in the Western Peaks and it’s distinct shape can be seen from miles around but will be a familiar sight to anyone who has drove along the Cat and Fiddle.

It’s not often farmer boy James ventures out into the cities but last weekend I went down to London. I’ve been before but only with a point and shoot and after being taken back at night how much the place comes to life I decided I needed to go back. There were a few shots … Read more

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.

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. Perfect weather and great conditions in a sense. There were unbroken reflections all around, which I love but a persistent haze was hard to work … Read more

While recently I’ve not had a huge dry spell, in the last couple of months it’s been a little … 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
