This week's Friday Image is taken from last weekend's trip to Wales. It's such a shame the weather didn't come up to expectations but then again there were periods of dramatic light and weather. Here you can see a hail storm crossing the valley. Have a great weekend.

Busy without focus
This past few weeks has been a little odd in terms of my photography. I seem to have built up lots of unfinished activities which I am struggling to complete. I have my quarterly newsletter (in which I like to include a decent article), a shoot in Wales last weekend, a book on Nik Color … Continue reading Busy without focus

This weeks Friday image isn't anything spectacular. I captured this on my trip to London last week and for those of you who are not familiar with the UK, this is the BT Tower, which was formally known as the Post Office Tower. At least it was when I was young when this was an … Continue reading Friday image No.013
Printing Revelation
It’s funny how we become locked into a way of thinking and acting as the result of conditions that no longer apply. Unless we are prepared to constantly experiment and challenge ourselves we don’t even recognise this is happening. Here’s one example from my very recent past. After I blogged the Friday Image last week … Continue reading Printing Revelation

I spent this week away on a well earned break in London, celebrating my 25th Wedding Anniversary. Wow, how time flies. As you can see from the image above I managed to take some photographs of London - but not what you might expect. This one was the staircase in the hotel we were staying … Continue reading Friday image No.012

I love reflections., I find them fascinating and beautiful whether created on manmade surfaces or in nature. I suppose the ones we find in nature are the ones that really enthral me and I can't help reaching for my camera. Here is one from my walk last weekend in Jumbles Country park near to Bolton. … Continue reading Friday image No.011
Free Your Mind
I went for a walk at the weekend to a place called Jumbles Country Park which is near to Bolton. It's not very far from where I live, about 40 minutes in the car. It's even nearer to where I used to live before I met my wife. The strange thing is, I have never … Continue reading Free Your Mind

As some of you may already have gathered, I love Infrared Photography. It's much more frustrating than traditional photography to create good images but the challenge makes it more rewarding. It also opens up a new world of seeing as scenes can take on a completely different appearance. Also, when the time of day or … Continue reading Friday image No.010
Something for Nothing
Photography has been through a very odd transformation over the past 10 years. In the pre-digital era good photographs were relatively rare from amongst the amateur community. Also equipment (I mean really good equipment) cost a fortune and wasn't really affordable by amateurs. Sure there were a few talented people but most images evidenced problems. … Continue reading Something for Nothing

Possibly the final image I will post from my recent Yorkshire Dales trip - although I reserve the right to change my mind. Again, I like the light in the image. This was actually a bit of a grab shot whilst I was stood talking to my friends, contemplating the forecast impending storm. I turned … Continue reading Friday image No.009
