Reading Time: 4 minutes I’ve been down to London for work again, and as usual managed to blag my travel so I get a fair amount of time later in the day to take a look around. I’ve taken the opportunity again to have more of a wander round …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Took the Camera out to the annual fireworks on Woodhouse Moor this year. Fireworks can be a bit “Meh” in photography, as it is all to common to just get som blured lights which don’t really tell much of a story. I tried to step …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Light night happens every year in Leeds, with art installations over the city after dark. There’s often some very good stuff, but it can be quite hectic and busy. I was quite tired this year and not so engaged with taking pictures, but here’s a …
Reading Time: 3 minutes So as you may have guessed, I do love a good sunset for photographic subject material. Earlier in the year I bought a couple of tinted grad filters from SRB, an engineering company who make a number of photographic products. Over this year I bought …

Reading Time: 3 minutes After having a go in Kirkstall and Knaresborough recently, I wanted to try some more long exposure water shots. We are lucky in Leeds to be one of the greenest UK cities (not that living in Hyde Park feels like this at times) and Meanwood …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes Just a quick post to show an expreiment. I read a nice tutorial ecently in Practical Photography about creating an image in the style of a Dutch Oil Painting and thoguht I would give it a go. The random skull, which I have no idea …
Reading Time: 3 minutes A little more restrained this year than the 150 or so pictures I got when massively excited by my new camera last year), here’s a few from Kirkstall Festival this year. Kirkstall Festival is a bit of a mixed bag. It has a masive funfair, …
