I do hope you aren’t getting tired of these Peak District and heather images. The season for shooting heather is past us now but I still wanted to share another photo. I captured this in the Peak District, just above the Surprise View car park. I couldn’t resist the clump of heather, trees and bracken … Continue reading Friday Image No.196
I’ll start with an apology that I haven’t posted to the blog this week. I’ve been out taking photos (that’s what I’m supposed to do after all) and working on the Lenscraft website. If you follow my YouTube Channel you will already have seen todays Friday Image. I won’t make any apologies for this though … Continue reading Friday Image No.195
I was out at Bamford Edge last night with a friend. It’s somewhere that I have wanted to photograph for a long time. Despite living only 50 minutes away and walking regularly in the area, I have never been. But with the heather being out, I couldn’t miss the opportunity. In all honesty, I wasn’t … Continue reading Friday Image No.194
Last weekend I headed up to the Lake District with my friend Steve. This trip was a little different as we were going to meet up with our friend Ed who we hadn’t seen for four years. To mark the occasion, we decided to explore some new areas around Derwent Water that we might not … Continue reading Friday Image No.193
After a short break in Amsterdam last week, I’m now getting back into the groove of doing some work. This week’s Friday image is one I shot whilst I was in Amsterdam (what a great city and nice people by the way - I’m definitely going to return for another visit). This shot isn’t what … Continue reading Friday Image No. 192.
It’s been some time since it’s rained here properly. The last time was back on the 25th May. I remember it well because it was the Saddleworth Band Contest and that was the first time it had rained in weeks. Yesterday morning we had a brief shower and last night we had heavier rain. It … Continue reading Friday Image No.191
If you know the Lake District, you will know there are a few amazing passes to drive: Wrynose/Hardknott Kirkstone Honister Whilst these passes are spectacular, you might not realise the best view is often above you. The image here is looking down onto Honister Pass from the summit of Dale Head (753m). It doesn’t sound … Continue reading Friday Image No.190
I’m going to start with an apology for not posting earlier in the week. Firstly, I’m trying to finalise my latest book and it’s taking longer than expected. Secondly, I still haven’t recovered my image library on the Drobo. What’s interesting though is that with the ongoing Drobo saga, I have received a few comments … Continue reading Friday Image No. 189 and the Continuing Drobo Saga
My saga with the corrupt Drobo is rumbling on. The Data Recovery software I was running finally completed it’s scan in the early hours of this morning, having been running all week. I watched eagerly as the final sectors were scanned and the progress bar ticked over from 99% to 100%. And then nothing happened; … Continue reading Friday Image No. 188
I must admit that this isn’t the image I intended to share with you today. Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to share the planned image. When I came to switch on my Drobo storage, my Mac won’t recognise it and the unit won’t mount as a drive. I also tried it on my PC, but … Continue reading Friday Image No. 187
