This post has been republished for technical reasons; apologies if you’ve seen it before. It rained all day from the moment the bride left the house to the end of the reception so I was working with winter November indoor light both in the church and at the reception.

Lake District Photography Live Blog (Day 4) – Dawn at Derwentwater
February 18, 2010 – 11:54 pm
Just one photograph from yesterday, just before I packed up and left Cumbria for home. I must say that the photographic conditions in winter were so much better than I expected and I would certainly revisit at this time of year. The photo was taken just after sunrise from Nicholl End, a marina on the [...]

Morning in the Peak District – The Roaches

This morning I made my first foray up to the Peak District since moving from London to Staffordshire in November. It was one of those great days for photography – the weather was alternating between sudden blizzards and bright sunshine punctuated by fast moving clouds. I made my way up to The Roaches, which are [...]
