You may recall that I was recently awarded commendations for two images at the Landscape Photographer Of The Year 2011 competition. You can see the two images on display at the exhibition at The National Theatre on London’s South Bank until 28th January. It’s an amazing collection of photographs, the best photographs from tens of [...]

Landscape Photographer of the Year 2011 Winning Images
October 24, 2011 – 9:02 am
Although this has become predominantly a wedding blog, today I’m celebrating a double success at the 2011 “Take a View” UK Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. Both these images were successful at the final stages, and consequently will feature at the exhibition starting on December 5th at the National Theatre in London. They will [...]
UK Landscape Photographer of the Year 2010
October 23, 2010 – 10:41 pm
OK, I admit, it wasn’t me, but I did entertain a distant hope of becoming the Take A View Landscape Photographer of the Year as my mushroom image, below, was shortlisted by the judges for this year’s award. But, as I found out tonight, it wasn’t to be, as the winners were informed today, and [...]
Lake District Photography – Days 3 & 4 – from Ullswater, Ennerdale & St Bees
October 14, 2010 – 12:40 am
As mentioned in the previous post, I’m photographing in the Lake District this week. Yesterday and today presented us with thick mist, which at times became quite ethereal. There was still almost no wind, which was perfect at Ullswater yesterday for lakeside photography. Today we visited Ennerdale, and then finally out of the Lake District [...]
Photography In the Lake District – Days 1 & 2
October 12, 2010 – 12:21 am
I’m back for more photography in the Lake District for a week, staying with Lakeland Photographic Holidays. I’m hoping to post images every other day, not every day as I have done in the past, as that turned out to be a bit too much of a punishing schedule! Below is a selection from days [...]
Six Months Living in Staffordshire
May 28, 2010 – 11:39 am
I moved to Cheshire at the end of last week, having moved up from London six months ago and spent that time living near Stone in Staffordshire. I thought I’d share a selection of my landscape images taken through the harsh winter that we’ve just experienced and into spring. All images were taken within the [...]
Early Spring in Snowdonia
March 7, 2010 – 11:00 pm
I’m just back from a week’s holiday in north Wales, where I took the opportunity to get out into Snowdonia a couple of times at sunrise. The first two images are from Llyn Gwynnant and the third is from the waterfall at the end of Lake Ogden.
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 [...]
Lake District Photography Live Blog (Day 3) – Bassenthwaite, Watendlath and Borrowdale
February 17, 2010 – 12:44 am
This morning started with sunrise over Bassenthwaite Lake followed by a group visit to Watendlath, stopping off at Derwent Water and “Surprise View” on the way. As we reached the top of the hill overlooking Borrowdale at the end of the day, a patch of bright sunshine drifted slowly across the green valley at the [...]
Lake District Photography Live Blog (Day 2) – Castlerigg, Rydal and Red Bank
February 16, 2010 – 12:43 am
Day 2 started with a (solo) visit to the Castlerigg Stone Circle, where the sunrise was awesome. Later, we were caught in steady rain but as usual John from LPH was able to find us a few dry-ish spots and some great mist. Once again, these are rough and ready edits. It’s been a long [...]
