General day to day things, updates, messages etc
Reading Time: 2 minutes I got to searching last night for a bit of guidance on painting dark value images in watercolour, and stumbled upon this website. Wandering away from my initial search there are a lot of paintings in a very impressionist style – very much against fussing, …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes Week 5 of my One Colour a Day project. I have been ill half the week and managing not much more than the odd bit of Train Simulator, and so for no real reason other than that these are some train inspired colours. The final …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Just a traditional Christmas post, after the tide of children and relatives have subsided. It’s been a nice Christmas, and here are the proofs of the cards that we made this year. Needless to say, Father Christmas brought various nice art materials. So there will …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Once again, it’s Carnival time. I’ve posted shots from this even each year for some time now, and it’s quite hard to think of exciting and edifying things to say after a while. It’s always an exciting event, though quite busy. This years event was …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Kind of in lieu of any real holiday, what with the impact of the cost of living making us totally boody skint again, we’ve had our annual funded-by-my-trade-union day jaunt to Whitby again. The weather has been decidedly nicer this time around compared to last …

Reading Time: 2 minutes I have a dreadful confession. Actually it’s probably not a confession, as it may well have become clear to those who follow anything I do artistically, and also I blame my son. But… I am a train geek. I think the polite term for this …
Reading Time: 3 minutes I’ve just got the second film back from expreiments with the new practika camera. Again, I am blown away by how these look, the feel of them is very different from digital and far more forgiving of exposure. The first set here are from an …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I was commissioned to create these shots for Sunniva Brunel’s project, shooting their practice sessions at the College of Music. This was worrking low light, no flash obviously, trying to get shots atmospheric shots while being unobtrusive. I worked with the 50mm f/1.8 lens at …
Reading Time: 2 minutes vignette /viːˈnjɛt,vɪˈnjɛt/ noun For some reason I love the idea of a vignette in photography. A short visual statement which holds so much, but yet uncovered. Going back over the years shooting, there’s always a few odd images that have not made it into bigger …
