Reading Time: < 1 minutes Slightly 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

Some More Landscapes

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

Roundhay Park

Reading Time: 2 minutes After 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

Knaresborough

Reading Time: 3 minutes Following 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
