While I was capturing the obligatory (and slightly awkward the older they get) back-to-school photos I captured an “outtake” moment between Lydia and Delilah. When I processed the photos and went with a black and white theme I adored the moment in time I’d captured. It reminded me of when I was shooting family photos […]

Re-imagined in Monochrome
As a photographer, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut in terms of creativity. I certainly do from time to time. To help combat this I often set about some photos I’ve already edited and re-imagine them in a different way. Monochrome is a great way to do this. Monochrome, or black & white, […]
A New Lens Brings New Love For Photography
I’ve always subscribed to the belief that the best camera is the one that you have with you. If that happens to be a smartphone then great, if it’s a high-end DSLR then that’s great too. My viewpoint hasn’t changed on this at all. However, we all love new kit and I recently took possession […]
Our First Visit To Rievaulx Abbey
In 2014 we moved from the old Yorkshire rag trade town of Dewsbury to the border of the North York Moors. Suddenly we were surrounded by what used to be day trip destinations for us. So why we have waited five years to visit this beautiful place is quite beyond me. Spoiler alert: Rievaulx Abbey […]

Mist in the Cauldron
Winter is an excellent time for landscape photography. With that gorgeous low winter sun, misty mornings and the contrast in colours, that many wrongly believe aren’t there, it really is a delight. Making the effort to get out of the house and head into the countryside can be rewarded with some beautiful images. The Christmas […]

The Man on the Moors (Seated Figure)
We recently visited the The Man on the Moors. “Who is that,” I hear you say. Well, he is a 3 metre high bronze sculpture that sits atop Castleton Rigg in the North Yorkshire Moors national park. Living on the southern edge of the North York Moors means we’ve been aware of this sculpture for […]
