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…

Something a little different. I often photograph signs, posters and and information about what I am photographing and where I am. For example, in Zoos taking a quick snap of what the animal is, or when photographing a church taking a shot of its name. When you take thousands of photos a year it becomes…

This is the second photograph on this site of Southport Pier in as many years and as many of you know I am always trying to improve on the older images. The above photo was taken a couple of months ago on a day trip to the coastal town of Southport in the north west…

Believe it or not there are four people in this photograph. I had walked down to the beach at Abersoch to get some sunset and evening light images. It was as I was walking back to the house that I turned back towards the sea and saw this scene. If you can’t make them out,…

I was testing my camera on a long exposure and checking my manual focus was giving me a sharp image, waiting for the sun to go down and for the International Firework Competition to start. In my opinion this is probably my favorite “happy accident” photograph that I…

Whilst walking around the picturesque village of Portmeirion someone asked me, “Have you taken a photo of the stone boat?”. How can a boat be made of stone? I asked myself as I walked down to the sea front. Turns out the boat is fake, you can’t really see how the boat is inbuilt to…

I was walking around the small seaside town of Abersoch with my friend Cy, both of us looking for photographs to take. It is fascinating to me to take photographs with other photographers, they see things you don’t see and vice-versa. I spotted the warm evening light falling on this mass of boats and took…

Power – a subject that is very hard to convey photographically, but taking inspiration from one of my dad’s old photographs I can bring you this powerful image. It was taken earlier this year in Criccieth, on the west coast of Wales. Five minutes earlier a man and women were stood leaning against that barrier…

A lead in line is one of the principles of photography and artistic composition which many photographers look for, especially when it comes to landscapes. The lead in line usually goes from the lower right corner and leads the viewers eye into the image. Whilst walking back down the beach and back to where I…
