Driving up the Kirkstone Pass from Windermere there is a great view down into Deepdale towards Brothers Water. I think the above landscape illustrates why they called this valley Deepdale. Just around the corner is Ullswater. If you look very closely at the bottom area of the frame you can see a few white buildings…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Flying to a new city such as Barcelona with today’s low baggage weight meant that taking a large and heavy tripod in my suitcase was a hard decision to make. That was until I found out I was going to have a chance to see the wonderful Font Màgica (magic fountains) outside the Palau Nacional…

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…

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…
