For this week’s Friday Image, I want to share a shot from a recent trip to Formby. If you want to see more of the trip I posted the video on You Tube yesterday. When I visit Formby I usually seem to come away with some shots I like. This time though things seemed different. … Continue reading Friday Image No.146
Last weekend I was an out and out tourist. I visited London with my wife and we spend 4 days doing the tourist attractions including Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and had an amazing afternoon tea at the Corinthia Hotel. We also visited friends that we don’t see often enough. It now seems strange … Continue reading Friday Image No.145
I captured this image last weekend in the Peak District. The day had started with fog then turned to sun and then finally rain. There didn’t seem to be much point shooting so we wandered up to Stanage Edge. Despite visiting the area many times, I have never been to Stanage Edge. I’m now certain … Continue reading Friday Image No.144
It’s been said that a picture paints a thousand words. Sometimes though I think it’s enough not to say anything. Just empty your mind and let it drift on a sea of nothing and marvel at the expanse before you. That’s enough rambling for a Friday evening. The weeks work is over and I can … Continue reading Friday Image No.143
This week I have come to realise that I’m not getting out to any new locations to photograph. When I do manage to get out, I seem to be repeating many of the scenes and shots I have taken in the past. Or at least that’s the way it feels. This image was taken on … Continue reading Friday Image No. 142
For this week’s Friday image, it’s a shot from my recent trip to Cornwall. I took this whilst walking the coast path. It’s probably about a mile outside Fowey. At the time, the light was very harsh and the images I was shooting on my standard Olympus EM5 weren’t looking very appealing. As is often … Continue reading Friday Image No.141
Last week I took a much-needed holiday, but I still couldn’t leave my camera behind. I visited St Ives in Cornwall and the weather was glorious. Surprisingly, even the mid-day sun didn’t stop the photography opportunities. Here is a very simple shot of a field from a walk I was on. Now I need to … Continue reading Friday Image No. 140
At the end of a long week, I’m back to looking through my archive of images and spotted this one. This is Thirlmere in the Lake District. It’s captured using my Fuji XT-2 and Fuji 16-50 lens. The more I use this camera the more I like the capabilities. It’s very well design and the … Continue reading Friday Image No.139
A few weeks back I visited the Lake District for what appeared to be a wash-out photo shoot. I started off near to Buttermere where it rained constantly. I moved on to Derwent water where the sun came out and was far too bright. On the way between these two locations I forgot that we … Continue reading Friday Image No.138
Do you ever have that experience of visiting somewhere frequently and you instinctively know there is an image to be had. But despite this, you never seem to be able to quite capture it? That’s precisely the situation I find myself in with the image I’m sharing today. This is Ogden, the same location as … Continue reading Friday Image No.137
