Subaru Impreza at Malcolm Wilson Rally

I was stood in Whinlatter Forest a few months ago waiting for cars to come racing around the corner. As far as I could tell, they weren’t setting off in any kind of order on the lists printed off the website and so I never knew what car or class of car was going to come power sliding around the corner towards my camera. Obviously, these cars are very loud and I could hear this one coming from quite far away. This is one of the sharpest ones in my set of photographs that were taken from this point and with the splash from a small puddle it makes the image much more powerful and dynamic in my opinion.

Barge on Bridgewater Canal
about 1 year ago - No comments
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,…
Westminster Bridge Light
about 1 year ago - No comments
This ornate street lamp was photographed on Westminster Bridge, near Big Ben, the houses of Parliament and the London Eye. Apart from the great style and gold details the painted side of the lamps caught my eye and made me wonder why this side of the street lamps are painted. I suppose there could be…
Edinburgh’s Big Wheel at Night
about 2 years ago - No comments
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…
Go Penguins Art of Liverpool
about 2 years ago - No comments
“Go Penguins” is the new celebratory public art event taking place throughout Liverpool, St Helens and the Wirral and it really reminds me of the “Cow Parade” a few years ago in Manchester. Mark and Rachel suggested a walk around Liverpool to see and photograph a few of them. The above two were in the…
Gateshead Millennium Bridge
about 2 years ago - No comments
The more I photograph bridges and architecture, the more I like the results when converted to monochrome or black and white. Especially in this case, as the blue sky almost becomes black and the clouds add an interesting extra element to the image. The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning…
Church Interior during wedding
about 3 years ago - 2 comments
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…
Lake Windermere Jetty – Lake District
about 3 years ago - No comments
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…
Castlerig Stone Circle close-up
about 3 years ago - No comments
Castlerig is one of the half dozen places in the Lakes that attracts a lot of photographers, especially at those golden times of the day (dawn and dusk). The problem here was not only did I go to this location with two of my photographic friends, but we spent over two hours here and saw…
HMS Belfast on the River Thames
about 3 years ago - No comments
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…
Granada Studios, Manchester

Granada Studios Tour was an entertainment complex in Castlefield, Manchester which operated from 1988 to 1999. It was situated on Water Street, adjacent to Granada Television’s Quay Street complex. The exterior of the complex was a New York street setting replicating a Times Square theatre, complete with yellow cabs, large neon advertisements and entertainers role-playing…
