One Colour a Day – Week 13

Reading Time: < 1 minutes There’s been some weather inspired colours creeping out this week. The spring sun, and sunsets, misty days and a cold. Also, a few new colours. After having had to purchase new laptops and spending about £26 Million in Lincoln, I feel skint. So only 3 

Pine Trees

Pine Trees

Reading Time: < 1 minutes While on our first (hopefully of many) walks of the year I took a photo, as I have before, of the pine trees on Parkside Road. I’m always fascinated by these trees and (I am not sure if this is cut to avoid the road)

Spring has sprung (just)…

Reading Time: 2 minutes I have again been doing less photography recently, and a lot of it has been using my phone. I never thought that I would say this, but it is very convenient and (other than not having an aperture priority setting) covers as much as my

Woods, Kids, Pigs Arses…

Reading Time: 4 minutes This 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

Todmorden to Mytholmroyd – The Long Way Round

Reading Time: 4 minutes This was quite a walk on a warm Easter Monday. It’s a fair trek up from Todmorden up to the tops, but it is spectacular when you get there. I walked up the tracks to Lumbutts Road, and then up over Hey Head Green. I

Further Experiments with Film

Reading Time: 3 minutes I’ve just got the second film back from expreiments with the new practika camera. Again, I am blown away by how these look, the feel of them is very different from digital and far more forgiving of exposure. The first set here are from an

Reading Time: 2 minutes A more personal set, but I wanted to just post a little more of the beautiful Lime Tree Farm, and a recent wedding we attended in the stone circle. And wo can resist (not even some of the veggie types it seemed) spit roasted spring
