Photoshop is, of course, the name of the Adobe graphics editing software that has been around since 1990. The word Photoshop has become synonymous with the manipulation of images and used predominantly as a verb in the English language. In many ways, Photoshop has become a household name because of the negative press surrounding the […]
Saltburn-by-the-Sea is somewhere that, until yesterday, we’d never visited. It is sandwiched on the Cleveland coastline between the headland (that separates it from Skinnigrove) to the south and Redcar and the mouth of the River Tees to the north. As we had a rare Sunday free we decided to tick off another little seaside town. […]
Don’t call this a trumpet, because it’s not. It’s a cornet, and Verity and Delilah have just taken them up at school. I think about the line from Brassed Off whenever I mistakenly call it a trumpet and I’m corrected: it’s a bloody euphonium!”. I only recently realised that trumpets are used in brass bands, […]
September 2018 is a month we have been looking forward to for a long time now. The reason? We went on holiday to Kos. So, naturally, this months selection of photos is heavily influenced by our week on that beautiful island in the Dodecanese and the Aegean Sea. Our two hounds September started where August […]
This a shot of the Poseidon anchored off the island of Plati. We’ve just returned from a fantastic holiday on Kos with our girls, two of my sisters, their husbands, nieces, nephews and some of their friends. My niece got married over there which is why there were almost 30 of us in the group! […]
I love being a photographer and creating portraits of my children. Children’s portraiture has changed over time. My passion, the portraits I crave, are natural, unposed and candid moments. Photography isn’t my profession, it is my passion. But that doesn’t mean I don’t strive to make my work shine. Making these portraits of children isn’t […]
My Sunday Photo this week is all about light – sun rays of light to be exact. I capture this shot using my new mirrorless Canon with my trusty 50mm lens. I was out capturing candid portraits of my daughter so wasn’t really set up for capturing a skyscape. But, when I looked up and […]
My Sunday photo this week comes from the very last day of August. We were walking the dogs close to a river near our home and there were quite a few ladybirds around. One landed on Delilah’s thumb and stayed there long enough to be photographed. I’ve always loved ladybugs (or ladybugs for my American […]
August has been one heck of a busy month and there’s plenty of photos to prove it. We’ve been on some fantastic days out and microadventures, as well as plain and simple dogs, walks in some lovely places. Blackberry jam The month started with us out picking blackberries and making our very our Yorkshire Dad of Four […]
My Sunday photo this week was made as my youngest daughter sat staring out over the Rosedale valley in the North York Moors National Park. We’d just had a lovely walk along the old iron ore railway that heads around the north end of Farndale. This area offers some spectacular scenery and I had my […]
