Stanage Edge in the Peak District
Last weekend, I had the privilege to spend the entire weekend up in the Peak District. If you’d been following my tweets, you’d have noticed that Saturday, weather-wise, was a disaster. The day started off grey and miserable and ended up the same way, and to be pretty honest felt even greyer and more miserable [...]

Model shoot with Anna and June’s selected links
The other week I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of working with the lovely Anna again. We did 3 separate location shoots, though the last one was a complete disaster for one reason and another, but the less said about that the better….. Instead I’m going to give you a quick insight into [...]

Civil Liberties, in the UK? You must be joking!
Photography courtesy of Antony Bennison. Further to my previous post on Photographer’s Rights, yesterday (Monday 16th Feb), an addendum to the Counter Terrorism Act 2000 came into force, which was bad enough on its own, with the number of abuses of Section 44 on the rise. As photographers, not only are we angry at the [...]
Happy New Year one and all
I’ve been trying to focus this blog more on the photographic content and fewer articles. Mainly as a result of not enough time, too many other areas vying for my attention, and often by the time I get round to posting a news item, most of the other photography blogs have already beaten me to [...]
Mid week update
Having managed to squeeze a flurry of back-processing and printing a week or so ago, this week time has once again got the better of me. I have followed on from an idea I picked up from another blog which was to turn one room that you use relatively frequently into a small preview gallery. [...]
Goodbye George W.
Just been catching up with some of my feeds and came across another blinder from Zoriah. “There are things that U.S. soldiers are allowed to talk about with the press and others they are not. One of the things they are not allowed to voice is their political opinion, especially if it goes against their [...]
Lensbaby re-launch
Check out this behind the scenes video by Vincent Laforet and here’s a link to the final video. It was shot using a pre-production version of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR – in a similar vein to the new Nikon D90. But for me, the question has to be why? Why do [...]
Inspirational Photographers
I’ve been a bit remiss on the blog posting front lately I’m afraid, but hopefully I’ve got time for a quick one this morning before heading up the M6 again… I stumbled across the work of Chase Jarvis the other day, and I was really impressed. He’s been a pro since ’96, and is inspired [...]
Still life project
Still no further work of my own to post on here yet I’m afraid. Although I have put some time into formulating ideas for my next project. I’ve decided that it’s going to be along a “Still Life” theme – I’ve never really done any “proper” still life before, one of the reasons being is [...]
A post at last….
Apologies for the current irregular posting schedule. I knew that life was gonna get pretty hectic when this new webdev contract kicked in, but I don’t think I quite realised how busy I’d be. But I never seem to get enough done! Anyway I’m in the process of fine tuning details of a project I’m [...]
Some light reading
I came across a post on Strobist titled “Keep a lighting file, version 2″ which got me thinking that I really should start to keep an inspiration file of some description. It would consist of images and probably some text about the images and it would be something I could refer to every now and [...]
