Reading Time: 4 minutesFor this final (for now) installment of Backstreets and Rooftops, I took myself deeper into the University Campus. I’ve been very inspired by this project, and hope to gather the absolute best of these (as I know I have posted many shots over these four …
Reading Time: 2 minutesPlaying some more with the rootop idea, I have gone down into the LS2 and Little Woodhouse area this time – somewhere I have not really explored in so much detail. Theres more of the redbrick here.
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve been out again with a further installment of the project to explore the backstreets and rooftops of Hyde Park – taking loose angled shots to explore the way we would see some of these places through the corner of our eyes, but would not …
Reading Time: 2 minutesOn of the joys of living in a built up inner city area is the wildlife. I mean who could not adore the crows and seagulls squawking and bickering all the time. As you may guess I am being a little sarcastic here, but they …

Reading Time: 3 minutesThese are some more images from Hyde Park and the surrounding areas, taken alongside some of my research photos – these are much more an aesthetic project, aiming to capture the micro textuaral details, isolating these from the full scene. Though of course these are …
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis is broadly just another round up of some photos from Hyde Park over the last few months. I guess the theme is looking beyond the expected, and picking out some interesting vignettes, both on a micro and macro scale, which add to the body …
Reading Time: 2 minutesLight 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 minutesI’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 …
