This was one of my most successful night shoots of last year, on top of Calton Hill in Edinburgh in December. This is by far my favourite area of the city for photography and as much as I had been many times before this was a first at night. Having had a previous photo of…

Before Christmas it started to snow and as much as I didn’t fancy driving far, it was a great opportunity to photograph some of my favourite scenes with their winter coats on! The day I took this I walked from Hale up through Altrincham to Dunham Massey. Although the snow had melted a little there…

The road in the photograph is the Mound which leads from Princes Street up to High Street AKA The Royal Mile. I thought that the Christmas lights on the trees made a great looking photo although the reflections on the road and pavement weren’t quite as I had hoped. The white and red light trails…

Opposite the prestigious department store Jenners is this Ferris Wheel in Princes Gardens. As this photo is taken at night you can’t see the Scott Monument behind the wheel, but I wanted to capture the interesting light display as it moved slowly around. Obviously this is a nice long exposure of five seconds, which makes…

Walking along the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow I was there for one reason and one reason only, for photography! As much as the above image wasn’t the most exciting I captured that day, I really like this urban image. I think that the graffiti tags combined with the warm afternoon winter sunlight…

Out of the examples of Gaudi’s work that I have photographed so far, this is one of the most awkward, because of the buildings placement in the city of Barcelona. With a long lens you can capture its extraordinary details, but to get the full frontal view is almost impossible without many distracting elements. Standing…

This isn’t the first time I have published a photo of this copper coloured office building in Salford Quays. However, the majority of the images I see online of it are taken much closer, using its reflective surface as a mirror showing details of other buildings or the bridge next to it. For a while…

Back in late September of this year I photographed my first wedding. Obviously I had assisted my dad when he had done weddings in the past, but this was the first on my own. Fortunately I was able to convince Mark to be an assistant and at the time he kindly provided a second camera…

We read left to right, so as a photographer I am often conscious of this when framing pictures, because that is how we read photos too. So in an ideal world this Jetty would lead in from the bottom left and not the right. Then ideally there would be a nice white boat at the…

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…
