Four DAY LAKE DISTRICT AUTUMN WORKSHOP

I captured this image late this afternoon whilst finishing up a 1-2-1 with a new female client. The light came good right at the end of a rather grey, flat and lifeless day and knowing the Lake District as well as I do, I know that the Langdale Pikes shine like a beacon when a little bit of light hits them.
I am so pleased with this image. I used a LEE Big Stopper to shoot it at 25 seconds as I wanted the smooth off the water in order to have the rocks stand out more. I love the yellow grasses at the base of the central rock. They play as much a role in creating an atmosphere as the light on the main peak does.
Your thoughts?

In the expression of visual language, our sentences are formed out of patterns and shapes. In this shot taken in Smuggler Cove, the trees are still somewhat barren of green while the watery surface has both pollen and leaves. Trees form lines and appear to probe a solid surface, while shapes delineate that same barrier.
It all speaks of Spring and the never ending story as the seasons once again change. What is visual, also speaks volumes to us while we take notice of the changing elements around us.
At this time of year the sun has moved its position appearing to fall just over a lone tree. This information is thanks to a very friendly gentleman who has lived in this area for many years. While the intent was to capture the sun at that magical moment, a person on a paddle board was running parallel to the suns reflections. As it turned out, it was the spouse of the person providing key information that helped achieve this shot. Thanks to both, I am sure we will run into one and other again.
The False Creek area of Vancouver is so often filled with the vitality of life. People walking, people watching, people living, there is much to see and much to do. On this occasion, the inlet also had an enormous ocean going sailboat. I hazard to guess it's size, but it was a real beauty. I spent hours in the area watching as the sun went down and how its rays effected the area, especially this sailboat.
I watched as the owners returned and how their very large and loud dog greeted them as they boarded. Much later and long after the sun had set, the blue hour began. It was then the lights came on in and around the city. More photos were had of the area and as the sky dimmed, the city lights became more dominant. As well, the blue lights on the sailboat did the same. Now the warm and the cool were playing together, just before the sky turned black. I found the experience to be exciting so it is a good thing my camera sits on a tripod.
If you are a Sean Connery fan, you will recognize the title from his movie, The Hunt for Red October.
Taken last Friday evening at one of Ireland's most spectacular locations, the Cliffs of Moher. I was very fortunate to have a local photographer by the name of Sean Kitson accompany me to this location as it is not the usual place people shoot this scene from. The sunset was lovely with the colours radiating in the sky but this shot was taken just before the sun dropped below the horizon.
I love how the last warm rays of the sun light up the cliff faces beautifully while the flowers in the foreground stand over the surrounding views. Isn't it just lovely? This will be just one of the places we will be visiting on my Wild Atlantic Way Workshop next March (the North-North West workshop will take place this September).
I hope you all like it. Have a great evening whatever you happen to have planned and feel FREE to share it if you wish :D

FOUR DAY LAKE DISTRICT AUTUMN WORKSHOP
Tues 31st October - Fri 3rd November 2017 £795

Good evening everyone and I have been delving back into the archives for tonight's image as I am so busy putting the final touches on a lot of exciting events that I will be able to reveal in the coming days.
So, onto the image in question. I have been photographing this scene for over ten years now and I never, EVER tire of it. It's the beautiful Castle Crag (the small triangular fell in the centre distance which incidentally just so happens to be the lowest Wainwright that exists).
This shot was captured during a workshop back in late October 2016 when all of the wonderful autumnal colours were out in full bloom. I have deliberately gone for a long exposure to smooth out the water which for me suits the scene wonderfully well. Long exposure images also tend to pull out the available colour too which generally allows for a more impactful image. The sky was fantastic too. Real drama present.
I hope you like it. p.s. note the white bird on the post?

Along the highway we stopped so I could work on this photo. An old abandoned house or farm is just too much to pass up on for many photographers. The ripples in the water contributed to the idea of an echo, in place of a smooth reflection.

I love waterfalls, large ones, small ones, it doesn't matter and sometimes, as in this case, the smaller the better. Cauldron Falls in a wonderful series of small waterfalls that lie in the River Etive that nestles in the dark autumnal red and brown bracken of Rannoch Moor.
This photograph was taken at the end of a session with my clients in which I was demonstrating the effectiveness of using a wide angle lens, which is something that I am partial to using.
I hope you all like it and please feel free to SHARE if you wish.

I captured this truly stunning scene on Friday during day two of my two day workshop. We arrived nice and early to give us time to look around and see what my clients would like to shoot. After giving them some advice on which part of this wonderful landscape I would photograph, we all set up and waited for the magic to happen.
There were some fantastic cloud structures which held in the gorgeous orange colours. The reflection of the sun on the water was a joy to witness and my clients were so happy to have experienced a beautiful sunrise. psssst. Don't tell anyone, so was I ;-)
I hope you all had a great weekend :D

Mount Rundle is just outside of the town of Banff and delivers numerous opportunities for photographers and great shots. This one shows the tail end of winter framing the mountain with snow covering the lake below and capping the mountain above. In addition are some very basic colors to balance the photo with a blue sky, green trees and red brush. A colorful landscape.

South Stack Lighthouse is built on the summit of a small island off the north-west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales. Built in 1809 to warn ships off the dangerous rocks below.

This is one of my favourite images from our travels. We were travelling along Highway 223 toward the ferry when we came across this opportunity. I quickly pulled into a driveway, parked and ran with camera and tripod in hand. As you can see from the shadows, the sun is setting and the many lines are accentuated due to its low angle. Even the tiles that makeup the walls of the barn are laced with shadows.
It is so basic, and yet tells a story that it made a marvellous shot. Many of the basic colors are present and due to the time of day, each are saturated to the extreme. "You just never know till you go."
