We read left to right, so as a photographer I am often conscious of this when framing pictures, because that is how we read photos too. So in an ideal world this Jetty would lead in from the bottom left and not the right. Then ideally there would be a nice white boat at the…

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…

Plockton is the nicest place I have been to in Scotland and this is my favourite photograph from the small fishing village. I stayed in the Plockton Inn for three very enjoyable nights last month and on the last night went for a walk in an attempt to capture a sunset on camera. It had…

In the past, if somebody had mentioned Yorkshire, I would have thought of York, or Leeds and Bradford, but now I think of photographs like the above.

Although this was taken just over a week ago, I have been wanting to post a photograph of Windermere for a long time. As the largest area of water in the national park and in England, it is seen by many as the centre of this area. Finally, this website has photographs of Windermere, Ullswater…
