...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 4 minutesDay three of our London adventure, and up bright and early to visit the Tower of London. It is my other half who is the history freak, but I am always up for somewhere like this to explore photographic ideas. I am glad we got …
Reading Time: 3 minutesI’ve been following a few of the free tutorials offered by Geoff Kersey, a landscape artist whose work I have found very appealing in some books I have. The painting above is very interesting as it almost seems that it should not work. It’s very …
Reading Time: 3 minutesIt was pure chance that I noticed the predictions for the possible UK Wide Aurora the other week. I have had the Aurora-watch app on my phone for some time, but after not accessing it for a while (generally fed-up with possible sightings scuppered by …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe went to Lincoln this weekend, so the week was quite oriented to that. VArious of the colours are quite random, though the end of the week is inspired by Cross Country Trains, Lincoln, and the blue hour (from when I photographed more trains at …
Reading Time: 2 minutesOne thing about having a young child is that you can shamelessly indulge in things you may otherwise not. Such as when the Coca Cola truck came to Leeds for Christmas, on his 4th Birthday.
Reading Time: 2 minutesAn event I always try and get to is the annual Night Light in Leeds, where various art installations and projections take over the city. I was all set to be really organised this year and plot a sensible path through the events, especially as …

Reading Time: 4 minutes…I have been discussing this work with another photographer, Andreas Andrews, who also uses light trails and long exposures in his work, though often in his case with a very steady set up so that the background is rendered sharp and the trails very clean. I think that both styles have their appeal – there is a definite calm to clean straight trails, but sometimes the atmosphere of a place is better rendered with some chaos and confusion…
Reading Time: 2 minutesI went out to Light Night this year with the intent of doing quite a lot of photography, and indeed I did get quite a few interesting images on film cameras, which will be posted as and when. I spent quite a lot of time, …
Reading Time: 3 minutesTook 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 minutesI’ve taken the Lensbaby with the Plastic Optic, and a new star filter out for an evening walk the other day. Talking to both the world through plastic idea and the Backstreets and Rooftops project this has created some intresting and slightly tripped out images.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteJust a quick one. had a quick go at stitching together a panorama today, of the view from my office window over campus. I’m quite pleased with how this has turned out.
