Reading Time: < 1 minuteSlightly uninspired this week. I’ve played, except for a couple of food colours, with randoms from the paint pot… Some have some more inspiring names though…

Some More Landscapes
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThese are just a couple more landscapes I have been working on in the run up to Christmas. The first of these is another from Wales – Yr Hen Bont in Cwm Hafodyredwydd. I’m not quite happy with this. I loved the effect from the …
Canon T50 and Kodak Ektar
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor all the fun of old and random cameras, it is great to play with a decent, high quality SLR from time to time. From my late aunt’s chattels I received, by gift of my father a good condition Canon T50 and a couple of …
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
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.

Shutter Dragging in the Woods
Reading Time: 2 minutesI went for a little walk up in the woodland of Meanwood park the other day, and decided to limit myself to my Canon 1000D and a simple 50mm prime lens. I did a few portraits of my family, but also had a little play …
Hidden Corners of Meanwood Park
Reading Time: 2 minutesI have been exploring more around Meanwood Park, now I live here again, and have found plenty of interesting corners I’ve not discovered before, such as the old Highbury Cricket Ground, and this amazing Boulder Gate up by the Myrtle pub. This has been a …
Roundhay Park
Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter the food festival the other day it seems I am back in Roundhay again. It’s easy to forget how much Roundhay Park has to offer. It is quite huge, over 700 acres in total. After being under various ownerships over centuries, Roundhay park was …
Knaresborough
Reading Time: 3 minutesFollowing on from my recent water pictures in Kirkstall I have had a further play with the neutral density filters and slow shutters in Knaresborough. The first set of these are just off Riverside, under the castle. There’s not as much movement in the water …
