I’ve been wanting to do a wild camp on Bleaklow for so long now. Most people question why, a baron flat place with not much to see or photograph but in my opinion that’s an unfair perception. There’s some really interesting spots including the kissing stones and the B-29 Superfortress and I have had some … Read more

Thought I’d pop a quick blog on from recent Peak District images. To be honest, the light in the recent months just hasn’t been that spectacular (or at least when I’ve been able to get out) and at times it can start to dent your enthusiasm. That said I’ve been out plenty, stood in many … Read more

With a long winter the flowers have bloomed a lot later this year, this is including the bluebells and as we head into June they’re still around where as most years they would be long gone by now. I’ve meant to photograph the bluebells for the past few years, but they always seemed to escape … Read more

So time to catch up. It’s been a little while since I’ve blogged and nothing since my Skye photos (and I’ve yet got to do my night time shots blog). I seem to be getting busier as the days go on, with less time for stuff like blogging etc. However, I always manage to find … Read more

Just a short one really but thought i’d quickly upload my latest venture. Tuesday night saw me heading out to Monsal Tunnels with a friend who had suggested we give the new craze of wire wool burning a go. I was a little unsure at first admittedly, but as I hadn’t been out at the weekend … Read more

Lumsdale is a lovely tucked away valley between Tansley and Matlock in Derbyshire. It’s a bit of an hidden gem that’s been exploited a little more in the last few years. Bentley Brook is the stream that courses it’s way through the valley and a series of waterfalls and cascades drop away. Derbyshire doesn’t have … Read more

The Wool packs are a clump of interesting gritstone formations high up on Kinder Scout, just west of Crowden Head. These gritstone formations have been formed over thousdands of years by being weathered by the rain and the water that flows through the groughs. The formations aren’t unique just to Kinder Scout but can be … Read more

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
