Here we see the groom, Dean, signing the wedding register at his wedding back in September. I used natural sun light coming through the wonderful stained glass window over his left shoulder. Before the wedding I had asked the priest when was and wasn’t appropriate to use flash photography. Although he said that it was…

Here we see the beautiful 2008 Kawasaki Z750 in orange. I found this bike parked on a side street near the sea front of Barcelona in Spain. There are thousands and thousands of motorbikes and scooters of all shapes and sizes in this wonderful city and I spent a good part of mytrip documenting some…

I couldn’t publish yesterday’s photo of the church interior without showing you a more formal photo of the bride and groom. This was taken at the reception and shows Belinda sat on a swing outside. Before the speeches and cutting of the cake I had noticed this swing in the gardens, but the sun was…

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…

Still life, close up / macro photography has been something of a summer project for me. Rarely have I had the chance to use my newly acquired second-hand close up filter on the front of my Nikor 50mm f/1.8 lens but last week I was lucky enough to spend the whole day playing with Lego.…

Here we see a number of old Nikon film SLR (single lens reflex) cameras taken at a second hand camera shop in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. My friend Kov took me there for the first time earlier this year to have his recently purchased macro lens looked at. Whilst there I ended up buying a Vivitar…

The photo above shows one of the extremely ornate street lamps found in Leith, just outside Edinburgh, Scotland. A couple of years ago my Great Aunt once asked me to take a photo of a street lamp, I thought “pretty boring subject” but did it anyway. When I started looking more and taking more photos…

The Beetham Tower has been featured in my photography a number of times over the months, partly because it is the tallest building in Manchester and partly because it is the most dominant part of the city centre’s skyline that I see from my bedroom window. Either way, it has been on my mind for…
