Phone Cameras again

Reading Time: 3 minutesI’ve been lugging cameras around slightly less often recently – this is me, I go through phases of hyperfocus and then doing other things, and for a while have done a bit more with my phone. After crackng my Huawei during the stress of Covid

Meanwood in Autumn

Reading Time: 2 minutesSometimes we forget that there are many beautiful things to see (and shoot) right on our own doorsteps. I walk round meanwood quite a lot, but sometime neglect to spend a moment capturing the beauty of the place. Here’s just a few autumnal pictures

Terminus

Reading Time: 3 minutesTerminus (n). The end, an etremity, and a Roman god of boundaries. What is this place of which we speak… Terminus has been around for a few months now. It had been whispered about for some time, that The Meanwood Brewery (which was previously in 

More Diana

More Diana

Reading Time: 3 minutesThat sounds slightly rude! One of my favourite cameras, the one I read about in some hipster rag and which set me off on all the Lomography nonsense is of course the Diana F+ I bought in Carnaby Street some years ago. I’ve taken a

Woods, Kids, Pigs Arses…

Reading Time: 4 minutesThis is one of those posts with no real reason, other than as a reminder to see fun and enjoyment and photgraphic opportunites in every circumstance. We decided the other day to take a walk down through woodhouse ridge, to Meanwood Valley Urban Farm on 

Misty Park

Misty Park

Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s been incredible misty the other day, and we went for a wintery walk in the park. I took these images, but thought I’d do something a bit different with them, and procesed them in Adobe Camera Raw into this slightly sepia toned high contrast.

Snow!

Snow!

Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter the floods of a couple of weeks ago we now have some fairly impressive snow, for Leeds at least. These are round meanwood mill pond. I’ve also taken the opportunity for a bit more arty shutter dragging which has worked very well in these
