Friday Image No.72

I shot this image a few years back on a trip to Whitby. The idea was to shoot lots of nice coastal scenes over a couple of days but as usual the weather didn’t work. Rather than give up or try to fight the light, we went looking for woodland to shoot. Walking through some … Continue reading Friday Image No.72

I have been rather tied up this week by all sorts of things (such as earning a living) that have prevented me from blogging and I’m feeling very guilty. This is in stark contrast to last year when I was away, trekking in Bolivia at this time. In fact I’m pretty sure the hardest thing … Continue reading Friday Image No.70

I shot this image back at the beginning of April. At the time there were no images that I liked but now that I return to review them I find quite a few that I like, including this one. For those who don’t know the area, this is Gordale Scar in the Yorkshire Dales. It’s … Continue reading Friday Image No.70

It’s strange how a negative experience whilst taking photographs can compel us to dislike an image. It’s only when the emotion of the day has been dulled by time that we can see the image for what it is. But when the emotion was strong, its effect can linger. The image I’m sharing today is … Continue reading Friday Image No.69

I’m currently working my way through part of my image backlog and suspect this will be an ongoing challenge for at least the next few years. I have fallen badly behind in the processing of images and now need to catch up. I will continue to share some of these through the blog as my … Continue reading Friday Image No.67

For this week’s Friday image I wanted to share a shot from last Saturday’s outing to Barmouth in North Wales. This is Estuary which is a huge expanse of sand or water (depending on the tides) and which is immensely impressive. If you look closely on the sands to the left side you will see … Continue reading Friday Image No.66

I love Friday’s. It’s the one time in the week when I feel that I can justify working on any image that I like in order to share it with people. I don’t need to care if it’s what people want, all that matters is that I like it. That’s an incredibly liberating feeling as … Continue reading Friday Image No.65

It’s another waterfall image this week I’m afraid. This is one of the falls at Keld in the Yorkshire Dales. The weather wasn’t too kind but it doesn’t usually matter when shooting waterfalls or forests. In fact I like the wet weather for this type of scene as it makes the foliage glow with colour. … Continue reading Friday Image No. 64

This is West Burton Falls in the Yorkshire Dales, England. It’s the first time I had visited the location and the conditions were far from perfect. Rather than a lovely velvet trickle of water over the falls it was a gushing torrent with a grey overcast sky. I did shoot a number of colour images … Continue reading Friday Image No. 63

This week’s Friday image is one from my trip last year to Bolivia. It appears that I am running out of interesting images to share as well as being short of time. I don’t know what’s happening to me at the moment. I didn’t even manage to post the blog about the new Lightroom Brush … Continue reading Friday Image No. 62
