Mushroom Season
Reading Time: 2 minutesSometimes I do think that I am a little odd. I found these mushrooms growing on the edge of campus, and of course just had to get the camera and grovel about in the wet to take photos…

Autumn Colours
Reading Time: 2 minutesI took myself round and about Woodhouse Moor for a lunchtime walk, and to try and capture some of the colours of Autumn. Autumn is a funny month, nature displays some of the best colours of the year, but the weather so often fades these …
Textures of Dereliction
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 …
Alternative Views of Hyde Park
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 …
Took a silly lens to London, and shot a few Squiggles
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 …
Tropical World
Reading Time: 3 minutesI 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, …

Ilkley to Bingley Trek
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe took a walk over the top of Ilkley Moor the other day. I’ve been a few times up to the Cow and Calf, but never really explored much of the rest of the moor. I was researching celtic stoneworks and ended up with various …
Threshfield Moor
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhile visiting for my graduation, my mother has been staying up at a campsite in Threshfield, and we went up to visit here there. I took quite a few pictures, and for some of these played about with some editing ideas, something I haven’t really …
Rain, Rain, Go Away…
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIt 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 …
I bought a DSLR
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’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 …
