I was out earlier this week again with my camera. This time, I was up at Burbage Edge South, hoping to photograph more heather in the Peak District landscape. Burbage Edge South isn’t anything like as popular with people as Higger Tor and Stanage Edge. This is good, as having ventured up to Owler Tor … Continue reading The View From Burbage Edge South
It’s fast approaching my favourite time of summer for photographing the landscape: when the heather is out. But as the weather has been a little unsettled this year, it’s difficult to know how advanced the flowering will be. Therefore, I decided to take a trip out on Monday evening to Surprise View to take a … Continue reading Photographing Heather in The Landscape
Last week, I shared some recent images I’d taken during bad weather on a mountain in the Lake District. As I haven’t been able to get out to do any photography this week either, I thought I would try to process more of the images. This was a worthwhile exercise. I say this because I … Continue reading More Bad Weather Landscape Photography
A few months ago, I was talking with a friend. We both felt that our photography was missing something, and most images had the same feeling: BORING! Part of the problem, we thought, is that we always venture out when the weather is looking good, often shooting during the golden hour. In the past, this … Continue reading When Repetition Creates Poor Landscape Photography
Last week, I shared some of the images I captured on a trip to Cornwall. On my way home, I called at Wells in Somerset to photograph the wonderful Cathedral there. In a moment, I’ll share a couple of shots from inside the Cathedral, but first, I want to explain something about my processing. Regular … Continue reading DxO Lens Module Limitation When Developing RAW Files
Last week, I didn’t manage to post any photos. That’s because I was away in Cornwall celebrating my 35th Wedding Anniversary. And whilst I was there, I couldn’t resist doing some photography to capture the dramatic Cornish coast. I based myself at the Lands End Hotel for the first part of my trip. Although Lands … Continue reading Photographing the Cornish Coastline
Have you ever had the experience of watching a spectacular sunset unfold? Then, as the sun nears the horizon and the light should be at its best, it simply dies away. I seem to find myself in this position quite frequently. And so it was on my recent trip to Blackpool. If you look back … Continue reading When It’s A Disappointing Sunset
This week, I headed over to Blackpool and met up with a friend for some photography. The weather looked very promising. I love the idea of photographing old seaside towns out of season, so this looked ideal. We met up around midday and grabbed some fish and chips for lunch (when we found a chippy … Continue reading Photographing Blackpool
This week, the weather has turned decidedly wintery, and I headed up onto the moors for some sunset photography. There was some truly spectacular colour, but I didn’t capture anything more than what I consider to be snapshots. Stand Edge Winter sunset, Saddleworth I’ve therefore continued to spend time editing some of the many images … Continue reading More Landscape Photography In the Peak District
Earlier in the week, I headed to the Peak District for some landscape photography. I love this time of year for photographing the landscape; at least I do when it isn’t raining. But if it’s cold and frosty, the conditions can be excellent. Sometimes, the cold weather will bring a freezing fog, but on other … Continue reading Spectacular Winter Light For Landscape Photography
