Reading Time: 2 minutes Light Night is an annual event in Leeds, that has been going for a few years now in which spaces in the city are taken over and become art installations and performance spaces. I had a play with my new(ish) camera and got a few …
Reading Time: 4 minutes I’ve just received a quite cool fisheye adapter which screws onto the front of my kit lens. Fisheye lenses tend to be those with a focal length of less than about 14mm (full frame) and come in two types – circular (which create a circular …
Reading Time: 3 minutes I last went to Tropical World in Roundhay about 20 years ago, still slightly tripping after a Heineken Festival (at the age where it still seemed amusing to try and teach the mynah birds to say “fuck”)… It’s been very interesting to go there again, …
Reading Time: 2 minutes This is somewhere I have been meaning to go for some time. The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is a heritage line running from Keighley to Oxenhope. Along the route is Haworth, which is also a lovely place to visit in its own right. The …
Reading Time: 3 minutes It’s festival time again. I have been running the stewards for the annual Moor Music Festival up near Skipton and camping with the Northern Green Gathering crew. It’s been hard work, but lovely weather and a lot of fun. Here’s a taste of the crazy…

Reading Time: < 1 minutes It is a horrible, wet day. It is supposed to be July, and I have a new camera and it is chucking it down. Of course the rain and the urban grit can make some great visual statements, but for now, these will be through …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Having a new camera, and a big event to play at is perhaps both good and bad. Kirkstall Festival with its very varied mix of sights was a great chance to play, with the Tamron lens, to get in close to the falconry (and the …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve been toying with this idea for a while (and have already had a couple of people saying, “about bloody time”). I’ve got the bug here, I’m really enjoying learning properly about photography. So I have bought myself a Canon EOS 1000D with an 18-55mm …
Reading Time: 4 minutes For this month’s London extravaganxa I decided to go out a bit further afield and take a trek out to Greenwich and the Docklands. A long time ago I went on a scout trip staying on the Lord Amory and remember a night walk including …
