So last Thursday after Winnats Pass I decided I would go to a virgin location to me, Bole Hill. What’s that you say, how can I have not gone already?! I’ll hold my hands up here, I’ve always snubbed it. Those that know me, know it’s not quite my usual style of photography but that … Read more
Last Thursday saw me up bright and early for a sunrise at Winnats Pass and my first Peak District sunrise since Spring. They are getting a bit more sociable you see? I had been out a few days before scouting a location in the White Peak and thought it would possibly work at sunrise with … Read more
I’ve just come back from a lovely couple of weeks in Dorset and Cornwall. I say just come back, I mean a couple of weeks back now but I’m just getting around to the blog! Blessed with some good conditions for photography, both in the day and at night, I thought I would share some … Read more
Great Gable Wild Camp Last week saw the hottest temperatures of the year and while I don’t like the heat when walking, I decided to make the most of it and head off for a wild camp in the Lake District and wild camp up on Great Gable. Studying the forecasts I was completely unsure … Read more
I’m at the point in my Peak District Photography career where I feel I have visited most places in the Peak. There’s the odd place I need to visit but for the most part it’s all become familiar. At times, that’s a challenge as I find it hard at times to visit a spot twice, … Read more

Mam Tor. The icon of the Peak District. A place where photographers flock to every weekend to capture a magical rising sun side lighting the infamous Great Ridge. Perhaps even cliché? Yes, those who know me well know that it’s not very often I will venture onto Mam Tor. It’s not that I think it’s … Read more
Greece Photography. So, I’ve just come back from Greece after two weeks of photography there, accumulating almost 1700 miles travelling mainland Greece. Now, most people associate Greece with sun and beaches and not photography which I guess it fair enough. But delve deeper into the country and you find a myriad of hidden gems. I’m … Read more
Back in June I did a couple of days work in the Lake District for Ultimate Outdoors, under JD Sports. The same people who own Blacks Outdoors. The aim of the trip was to capture some Lake District locations, especially in panoramic format to use for their large in store displays and on web. The … Read more
Sharp Edge Sunrise. It’s been a while since I’ve done a wild camp, something I have missed. In defence I have tried every month since Feb but luck has been against me. However, a spare weekend saw me heading off up to the Lakes to wild camp up Blencathra after much debating where to go. … Read more
