I would like to publish a note of thanks to the security officers at Canary Wharf in London. Yesterday I visited London with a couple of friends as tourists to take pictures. One of our locations was Docklands with the intention of photographing some of the icon architecture including Canary Wharf. Waiting for our friend … Continue reading A Note of Thanks

Friday image No.017
It's back to images from my Filey trip for this week's Friday image. This was shot from Filey brig and is a long exposure taken during the day. It's a 6 second exposure which I captured on the Olympus EM5. I used a Hi-Tech 8 stop ND filter from their ProStop IRND range (here is … Continue reading Friday image No.017
Walking through History
With it being a Bank Holiday in the UK today and for once the weather not being terrible, I went for a walk. I like quite near to the Peak District National Park but for some reason I seldom visit. Today I decided I wanted a good walk in the hills so drove over to … Continue reading Walking through History
Friday image No.016
This week's Friday image is another shot from my Filey trip last weekend. Here is the spit of land that juts out into the sea and forms the Filey Brigg. The low setting sun was an amazing transformation from the grey sky of the earlier day. Have a great weekend.
Playing Around
I have just been playing around with some of my images from the trip to Filey at the weekend. Here is another of the images shot from Filey Brigg. The Brigg is a huge lump of rock extending out into the sea. It's quite dark, moody and dare I say it, difficult to photograph. This … Continue reading Playing Around

We didn't have great weather but we did manage to capture some interesting shots. … Continue reading Infrared on the Brigg

At the time we agreed that we didn’t want for anything so would stop all this chasing around after new kit and just work with what … Continue reading I have no will power

Friday Image No.015
I have been so busy this past week that I hadn't realised Friday had come round again. Then I realised that I didn't have an image to share so I started to look back over my shots from last year. A lot of the folders I have done nothing with. Despite this there are a … Continue reading Friday Image No.015
