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,…

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…

There are a lot of fantastic examples of street art or graffiti around Manchester, but nowhere more so than the arty area known as the Northern Quarter. After my recent photo shoot of the Manchester Wheel at Night, Mark wanted to explore more of the area between Piccadilly and Ancoats. Walking down the back streets…

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…

When I first saw the “big wheel” in Manchester, I didn’t just think that here is an opportunity to get up high in the centre of the city, I also thought that if I was here just after the sun had gone down with a tripod, it could make for some interesting photos. The main…

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…

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,…

This is how I imagined Glasgow looked and this is how people described it to me. In fairness this is not what Glasgow looks like, for the most part it is a modern, trendy up and coming city with money. As with every large city, you can find modern parts and decaying parts. Manchester’s Northern…

Arthur’s Seat is the tallest hill you can see in the photograph above, to the right is the much lower Salisbury Crags. This area of Edinburgh is Holyrood Park, associated with the royal palace of Holyroodhouse, although it is now publicly accessible. You can see the palace at the bottom left hand corner of this…
