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, […]
You may remember, as I’ve blogged about this before, that I was once a wedding photographer. It’s something I enjoyed immensely but, for many reason, I am no longer in that industry. However, I’d thought I’d share some advice for couples looking for a wedding photographer from my perspective. The one thing Helen and I […]
You may have noticed that I like photography. Scratch that – I LOVE photography. It’s a passion. I love sharing my photography and I love checking out others photographic creations too. Now that my favourite photo sharing linkup is closing down at the end of the year there is a gap in the blogosphere for […]

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 […]
Have you ever heard the quote “A ship in a harbour is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for”? It’s a quote that is often used to inspire people to set out and achieve something. I first came across the quote when it was used by an inspirational woman I follow called Sophie Radcliffe (challengesophie.com). […]
I couldn’t let Yorkshire Day 2018 pass without theyorkshiredad.com having a celebratory post in the honour of this great county. Okay, technically there are four counties that make up Yorkshire but I’m brushing over that here. I decided that to celebrate Yorkshire Day 2018 I would post 4 photos – one from each of the […]
Smartphone photos are taking over the world. Literally. What camera does Flickr state to be the most popular used to take photos on there? Yes, an iPhone. Even I, who owns a DSRL camera and various lenses, opt to take 90% of my photos with my phone (a Samsung S7). That being said, there are […]
