Sometimes, landscape photography takes a lot of patience. I’ve been out countless times since my return from Cyprus and just not had any decent conditions or light. It can get frustrating and depressing sometimes, but you have to percivere. Cue Saturday morning I decided to go out for sunrise. I woke up, went to my … Read more

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

A couple of weekends ago saw me on commission for Blacks with the main aim being to capture panoramics around the Wasdale and Wast Water area, so I decided a trip up Lingmell for sunset on the Saturday would be a good choice. Usually, for a mountain of this size I would choose to wild … Read more

Really last minute decision last Friday to go and do a wild camp up in the Lake District. The weather as we know had been very poor all week, but with the weather looking set to improve over the bank holiday weekend I couldn’t resist going as my plans for the weekend I had previously … 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

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. Shutlingsloe has a nickname … Read more

Hasn’t the weather been nice recently for the most part? It may have been a little hazy for sure but it’s been better than the countless days of grey recently. Last Saturday saw me looking to go out, wanting to make the most of it. While I’m not a blue skies photographer sometimes you take what … Read more

I’m recently back from a trip up to Scotland, a place I’d love to spend more time but with time constraints (takes up a good part of a day to get there!) and the rising price of fuel it’s somewhere I have to usually book a week in to go. Never the less, I try … 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
