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…

Due to its location at the bottom of a valley, it is extremely difficult to find a good angle to take a photo of Edinburgh’s Waverley Train Station. Really I should have waited until one of the trains pulled out of the platform and into the foreground of my frame, but not only was I…

The above photo shows a First train waiting to depart from Hull train station. I liked the way the “welcome” sign in the background works with the from of this modern train. You might be asking why I would post this photo as it isn’t one of my usual subjects that I photograph regularly. Well,…

Today I will be (all being well) spending the day at the Farnborough International Airshow. The above photograph however was taken last year at the Southport Airshow, a much smaller event but still impressive none the less. The four planes featured here are part of the Blades Aerobatic Team. They are flown primarily by ex…

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…

The above photograph is my favourite BMX photograph I have taken. It was a couple of weeks back that Mark and I were running around Southport trying to make the most of the strong sunlight and blue skies. As far as I know the rider pictured is doing a trick called the tailwhip. Having never…

“Live to ride – ride to live – free-spirit”. The road at the end of Southport Pier seems to get overtaken by bikers on sunny weekends. Saturday was no exeption with over 60 motorbikes of all shapes, styles and sizes. Obviously being a photographer, I was attracted by the chrome fuel tank of this massive…

Mark suggested a day trip to Southport; until I arrived it had completely slipped my mind that there was a great opportunity to take photos of the skate park from the pier. Last year I took a photo of a guy jumping the spine ramp. Today was much better, the light was fantastic and in…

Both the world’s oldest and largest underground railway system, the London Underground might not make for a fantastically beautiful photograph, but it is an important one that I have wanted to take ever since first getting on tube train as a child. Sadly, with security alerts photography has been prohibited. When I stopped at the…

One of the most famous sights and certainly the most famous bridge in Venice is the Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal. It was completed in 1591 but there has been a dry crossing of the canal here since 1181. It is sad to see the graffiti on the bridge but I am pleased to…
