Following a chest infection a few weeks ago, I haven’t been doing any photography. The last time I ventured out was to Liverpool with my newly acquired XT5. After that trip, I shared a shot taken inside the Cathedral. This time I want to share a simple scene of a car park. The regularity of … Continue reading Back to Urban Photography in Liverpool
On Wednesday, I arrived home from a trip to the Lake District where the colours were turning autumnal. Feeling motivated to get out for some photography, I checked the weather forecast.

Anyway, I’ll be publishing that video later next week, but … Continue reading A Wet Day in the Woods

It had been warm during the day … Continue reading Sunrise at Higger Tor
