I’m really excited to share this image from my recent trip to America. The location is called Thor’s Well at Cape Perpetua on the Oregon coast. I first came to know about Thor’s Well whilst browsing US State Park images on Pinterest just a few months back. As soon as I saw this I was … Continue reading Friday Image No.94

Road Trip America
Back at the start of May you might recall I wrote a short piece about the equipment I would pack for a trip I was planning to make. Unfortunately, (for me at least) the trip is now over and I'm back in the UK. Whilst I have been trying to write and reply using a … Continue reading Road Trip America
It’s that Tree Again
Someone recently mentioned that you could do a book on this iconic lone tree. Whilst I don’t often visit the area, on this last trip I do seem to have photographed the tree quite a few times in different conditions. Here’s one from the end of the day. The Photographers Ephemeris said we were in … Continue reading It’s that Tree Again
Friday Image No. 93
This is Mam Tor in the Peak District. Given that I live on the edge of the Peak District and this location is just a 40-minute drive from my house (ignore the 1 hour walk once you get there) I seldom go. I don’t know why but the landscape never seems to appeal in the … Continue reading Friday Image No. 93

In this particular case I think it was down to the conditions I was shooting in and the expectations I had in my mind. I often go out hoping for wonderful light and clean air, only to … Continue reading Processing Friday Image No.92

Unless there is something that’s very close to the camera I find that I can get away with using this aperture … Continue reading The Olympus 12-40 Sweet Spot
Lightweight Cameras
There was a comment on my last blog post asking what had happened to the lightweight cameras as I seem to be publishing images from the Sony full frame. I was thinking about this and wanted to present a slightly longer response as it gives rise to an interesting point. What is a lightweight camera? … Continue reading Lightweight Cameras
Friday Image No.90
I was pulling a late one tonight and was so tied up with getting some urgent work done, I almost forgot to post the Friday Image. This was shot last Saturday in the Yorkshire Dales. It’s hard to believe this was almost a week ago. Time really does fly when you’re having fun. Have a … Continue reading Friday Image No.90
The Secret to Great Landscape Photography
A recent trip to the Yorkshire Dales really drove home the importance of this secret. See if you can guess what it is as you read my outline of the trip. Read closely enough and there are a couple of lessons in there. The first day was Friday and from the moment we arrived the … Continue reading The Secret to Great Landscape Photography
Normal Service Will Resume Shortly
This is a quick note to say sorry to everyone waiting on a reply to email. I have been away for a Landscape shoot and without internet access. Normal service will resume shortly and here is one of the images from the shoot in the interim.
