I wanted to make this photograph a little special using digital post production, as I thought that it captured a great little moment. When I took the snap I didn’t see the man’s arm pointing or the two women sat under the umbrella. However when looking through my photographs at the end of the day,…

Some of the best views of New York city can be found from Liberty Island, site of the beautiful Statue of Liberty. New York is the only place in America that I have visited and probably the biggest city I have been to so far. I would love to take more great skyscapes of huge…

Taken outside the church in Frodsham at the Cross Wedding late last year. It is a very cheesy balloon, but shows a little detail of the day. I know these helium filled balloons don’t last forever, but at least the bride and groom have a photo of not just the people who were there, but…

Since photographing some great examples of graffiti in Manchester and Salford, I was keeping my eyes open for walls of Barcelona’s street art that I had heard so much about. Here I used a 18mm wide angle lens, so I could get nice and close to the walls and not get trees or street furniture…

Getting up the hilly areas around cities such as Edinburgh, or in this case Barcelona, can be hard work, especially with a lot of heavy camera gear in 30 degree heat, but it was worth the effort for the above photo. This view of Barcelona’s Harbour was taken from edge of the Gardens of Joan…

This is the second or third photograph of HMS Belfast that I have featured and there is a great sense of scale. I took the above image earlier this year when I was privileged enough to get access to the viewing area of London’s City Hall (where the mayor’s office is). It had been overcast…

Going to the Bristol Balloon Feista 2008 I had half a dozen photographs in my mind that I hoped to capture. Some of which didn’t come to pass as discussed on a previous post, but this one was definitely on my agenda. I had seen similar half inflated, bright coloured hot air balloon pictures in…

The photo above shows one of the extremely ornate street lamps found in Leith, just outside Edinburgh, Scotland. A couple of years ago my Great Aunt once asked me to take a photo of a street lamp, I thought “pretty boring subject” but did it anyway. When I started looking more and taking more photos…

I have never seen rocks with such colour on a beach before. I am not sure what caused the bright red of the stone, but it was really enhanced when the waves ran over them. This is a small beach between St. Abb’s Head to the north and St. Abb’s harbour just a few hundred…

Millennium Bridge is one of the most modern looking bridges over the River Thames and is certainly the most modern footbridge I have ever photographed. I feel that the modern looking tourist boat on the river adds to this image. Here I was experimenting with my (at the time) brand new Sigma 10-20mm super wide…
