A few readers appeared to like the rock shot from my previous post so I thought I would share another from the same shoot and location. If you want to see more of the location you can view my video on You Tube. There is another point I should make about my last blog post. … Continue reading Friday Image No. 154
Recently I have been doing a few presentations at Camera Clubs and Photographic Societies. When I’m doing presentations I always like to take along some printed work. Members can then look at my prints when we break, as well as ask me questions. One question that has been asked without fail is “what paper’s that?” … Continue reading What Paper’s That
Last week I published a tree image that I had shot in the woods near to Harrogate. I also said I had another image that I would publish this week and I have failed miserably. I even forgot to post anything mid-week for which I apologise. This Friday post is therefore the missing tree image. … Continue reading Friday Image No.153
I can’t believe it’s Friday already; the week has absolutely flown by. Monday, I launched my latest book and gave a presentation at Macclesfield Camera Club. It only seems like yesterday. This time last week I had just given a presentation at York Photographic Society and decided to take a trip to Harrogate. I actually … Continue reading Friday Image No.152

This is a subject often overcomplicated by people who, I’m sure would like to keep the secrets to themselves. On starting to develop the book, it quickly became … Continue reading Mastering Photoshop Masks
In my previous post, I mentioned the Trinnacle rock that my friend Dave wanted to photography. Today I thought I would share an image that I shot that evening. The Trinnacle is the rock on the left and from this angle you can’t see there are three pillars (hence the name). The image was captured … Continue reading Friday Image No. 151
At the weekend, I did something I haven’t done before. I headed up into the hills behind Dovestones reservoir for photography. Now I need to qualify that statement as I have taken plenty of photographs in the area. The difference this time is that I was heading out for the purpose of photography and nothing … Continue reading Heading Out With A Purpose
Last night I realised I hadn’t posted anything this week. Tonight, I almost forgot this week’s Friday image. I was so tied up with putting together a short video of a recent trip to the Lake District that I got carried away. The video isn’t ready yet, but will be posted soon to my You … Continue reading Friday Image No.150
I just realised it’s Thursday and I haven’t posted anything all week. Where has the week gone. I have been so busy trying to finish writing my Photoshop Masking book that I have overlooked everything else I need to do. I even have a couple of photography presentations at clubs next week and I’m not … Continue reading I Just Realised it’s Thursday
I suspect many of you, like me are guilty of ignoring the landscape on our doorstep. Very recently I bought a book covering different photo locations in the Peak District (http://amzn.to/2eSTEEk). As I started to flip through the book, I thought I recognised a couple of locations. Sure enough, there was a section on locations … Continue reading Friday Image No. 149
