Earlier in the week I popped up the Motorway (a couple of hours) to the Yorkshire Dales. As the weather was nice we decided to do the Waterfalls Walk at Ingleton. We like the walk and often extend it by walking further up Whernside to explore the scar. Although I took plenty of shots from … Continue reading Friday Image No. 166
Over the Christmas break I headed out for a walk a number of times. Quite often I found myself taking the Fuji X-T2. Now that I have the 18-135mm lens, I find I’m using it more frequently as a “grab and go” camera. I’m also very pleased with the results. On this particular morning, it … Continue reading Friday Image No.165
Yesterday I was out with a friend in the Peak District shooting. The weather had been forecast as dry but misty/foggy. Then at the last minute the forecast changed to rain all day. Despite this we decided to wait it out in Padley Gorge and eventually we had a dry spell, or at least dry … Continue reading Friday Image No. 164
There really isn’t much to say about this image other than I love mountains. I love being high up and I love the harsh and dramatic appearance. But what really captures my attention with this image is the shadows. Without those deep shadows the image loses its appeal. Please be sure to keep your shadows; … Continue reading Friday Image No.163
With the snowy weather set to blanket the area where I live over the next few days, I thought I would show another snowy scene; although from a little further afield. This image was captured in the Lake District a couple of weeks back. It features the mountains of the Langdales and was captured from … Continue reading Friday Image No.162
I was torn today between the shots I could share for the weekly Friday image. I seem to have some great alternatives I could show. I don’t know if its because I have been trying to get out more with my Fuji X-T2 or if it’s just the weather has been kind. Whatever the reason, … Continue reading Friday Image No.161
Yesterday I visited Harrogate, taking my wife to an exhibition. Whilst I was in the area I decided to visit Bolton Abbey. Last time I visited I was at school so that that should tell you it was a very long time ago. I also decided to take along the Fuji X-T2 in case any … Continue reading Friday Image No. 160
For those of you who read my previous post regarding Photo Library submission, I can confirm I have now had two batches of images accepted. I'm pleased about this but I will have more to say on the subject next week. For now, I wanted to share another of the images. I love the shadows … Continue reading Friday Image No. 159
For this week’s Friday Image, I thought I would take an image at random and see what I could produce. The folder I hit on was from April last year where I visited the Yorkshire Dales. The image here was the first shot of the day and was a test shot (I have much better … Continue reading Friday Image No.158
It’s been an eventful couple of weeks in our house with my daughter getting married. There were guests from around the world and a quite a few people staying with us. It’s not quite over with yet but hopefully by the end of next week things will be back to normal. In the interim, I … Continue reading Friday Image No. 157
