UK & International Landscape Photography Workshops & 1-2-1 Private Tuition Days
This image was captured this morning from Friar's Crag at Derwentwater while leading a 1-2-1 tuition day with David. It was just amazing to see the mist rolling along the surface of the water as the sun rose and illuminated the trees of Lord's Island just beautifully.
Autumn is definitely coming as the morning was a crisp 5°c. I cannot wait for the colours to change.

Captured en-route to Glencoe last November to run a workshop. I saw this beautiful boat just floating motionless and thought that I simply had to stop and photograph it. It wasn't until I looked at the image on my computer screen at home when I noticed the heron on the far right hand side. What a wonderful addition to an already stunning scene.
I hope you all like it.

A brand new edit of one of the most iconic river stretches anywhere in the UK and for me, my favourite section of river anywhere in the UK. Glen Brittle River has it all, too many waterfalls to list, plunge pools, underwater arches, and aqua green water all set against one of the most dramatic backdrops of the Black Cuillin.
This gorgeous little double waterfall is perfectly positioned to allow Waterpipe Gully to feature heavily in the background while the impressive terrain surrounds me. If there's a more impressive river view in the UK, I'd love to know it.
Despite my love for Skye though, I have decided to leave it off my 2020 workshop list if just to give me a rest from the beautiful island. Sometimes in order to keep yourself motivated to photograph a location, you must rest it for a while and that's what I shall be doing with Skye throughout 2020. I shall continue to run my Harris & Lewis and Assynt workshops though.

A Timeline events photo shoot with the Ragged Victorians re-enactment group at Blists hill Victorian town living history Museum 14.04.2024
Lower Heswall is located on the west side of the Wirral coastline and while the estuary can be extremely dangerous in parts, it does offer the landscape photographer plenty of opportunities to capture some beautiful images of old and washed up boats on dry baked cracked mud lined sections of the estuary.
These are the sort of places I love to spend a few hours in. Wandering around with the camera and tripod in hand and a bag on my back looking at a million different compositions and angles, searching for the perfect one. I find this old red boat sat on an angle with the interesting patterns on the ground surrounding it. The tide was receding quickly so I had to move fast in order to capture the water in situ. I just about managed it.

WOW, WOW, WOW, what an awesome way to end today's photography session with the camera in Tuscany. Brian and I settled on the shot of the Gladiator Rd in Pienza with the iconic farmhouse in the distance but we left to venture around the corner and down onto a side gravel road where I know that these amazing Cyprus trees live.
It was a rush job once parked up, to get the tripod out and set up. We had less than a minute to get the job done and I thankfully managed to capture the setting sun at almost the perfect position. Personally, I would have preferred the tree to have been completely enveloped but perhaps I'll have another go on another day but I am still delighted with this image.
What are your thoughts about the image? I'd love to know :D

I have just returned home after spending the day hiking fourteen miles up Catbells (1,479ft), High Spy (2,142ft) and Dale Head (2,470ft) alongside Derwentwater in the Lake District and I have to say that my body is broken but my mind is strong and the sense of satisfaction and achievement is immense.
The Lake District has enjoyed several weeks of pure blistering sunshine and temperatures in the mid to high 20's yet today (on the day that I go with a friend of mine), the rain came down, the temps plummted to around 14 degrees and the wind picked up and the whole scene of Causey Pike from Catbells looked incredibly threatening but I would always take these kind of conditions over pure blue skies and no clouds any day of the week.
I took up my Canon 5D MK4 DSLR complete with the Benro Angel carbon fibre travel tripod (FTA28CV1) and it was bloody fantastic. Small and compact, lightweight, strong and stable even in the wind. I took this image using it. Amazing piece of kit. Super impressed.
Well it's time for a shower now and something to eat followed by relaxing in front of the TV and falling asleep no doubt. The fancy piece of watch tech on Trish's wrist recorded that we had walked 29,000 steps and 22.48km. Phew. Night all :D

STUDENTS DayX3 NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION
Protest and march against University tuition fee increases, 09th Dec. 2010
Over 20,000 students from around the country converged on Central London today to march for a third time to protest against the coalition government's plans to massively increase University tuition fees, which will ultimately mean that far fewer students from poorer backgrounds will be able to even consider a University education because of the massive debts incurred which will follow them for the rest of their working lives.
I joined the days proceedings in the afternoon as they were assembling in Trafalgar Square. To throw the police off-guard they suddenly took off, en mass, through Admiralty Arch in a bid to get to Parliament Square, which had been forbidden. That evening the House of Commons was voting on the Education Funding Bill, and the students were determined to make sure that Parliament heard their protests.
The day started in a good mood, but by the time they reached Parliament pockets of disorder had started breaking out - Flares were lit and thrown, crush barriers and construction site fencing ripped up to be used as weapons against the massed ranks of riot police and later on the mounted police. I had to leave by around 3pm, and by the time I got home and turned on the BBC news all hell had broken loose outside Parliament. Protesters were pelting the police with lumps of masonry, metal poles and scaffolding. They lit large fires, broke down the doors to The Treasury and the new Ministry of Justice buildings, smashing many windows, daubing graffiti everywhere and generally smashing up the joint. Many people were arrested and many people hurt, some badly.
As the police gradually started releasing the by-now contained protesters in small numbers, several small groups headed up to Oxford Street, where they smashed the windows of the flagship TopShop store (owned by Sir Phillip Green who is being attacked for shovelling billions of pounds of what should be UK taxable income into tax haven accounts owned by his wife as part of a legal tax dodge), and in Regent Street they engulfed the Bentley containing Prince Charles and his horse-faced wife Camilla who were in the process of swanning orf the the Royal Variety Performance! The protesters started kicking the vehicle. They broke the windows and threw a tin of white paint over the car. One was not amused!
Needless to say the Bill was passed in Parliament tonight, and the students have vowed to continue their campaign of demonstration and civil disobedience...

Taken on Friday during my first visit out with the camera since March 20th and it felt great finally being allowed to venture outside again.
My choice of destination was Aysgarth Falls in Yorkshire. The lower falls starred in the 1991 movie 'Robin Hood and the Prince of Thieves' starring Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman however the upper falls that you see in this image have some star power of their own in the form of some wonderful, vibrant green algae in the water.
It was worth placing the 90mm Kase K9 magnetic polariser on the front of the camera to eradicate white light on the surface of the water, therefore, allowing the vibrancy of that lush green to show through.

Explore #2 10/04/20
A landscape scarred by the elements over time, this coastal section at Elgol was absolutely fantastic with all its curious striations no doubt caused during the Ice age with the movement of huge glaciers, the larger of these catching water from the last tide where it would remain until called back into the ocean on the next one.
The weather had been so unpredictable this day with just about every weather box being ticked in about 45 minutes.
This was sunset and a gorgeous bit of light is breaking the the passing squall of weather lighting the sea and unusual foreground, quite possibly one of my favourite images from the trip.

I took this photo yesterday while in the Lake District with friends and it is included in my latest YouTube video that I uploaded yesterday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gkLBfbxYSY
And here's a feature that Ellie Harrison filmed earlier this year for the BBC TV show 'Secret Britain'. It shows just how difficult and remote this place is.

Scale Force just happens to be my favourite waterfall in the Lake District. Partly because it is one of the quite incredible location it lies in (a narrow, 120ft deep, moss covered rock gorge an hour's walk up a large fell alongside Crummock Water) but also because it feels as though it has never been discovered by humans.
The green moss that lines the walls of the gorge is so vibrant that people will think that I have increased the saturation in Photoshop too much and the redness of the water actually does exist. It really is an absolutely special place of mine.
Behind the Scenes Info:
One of the challenges you will find shooting a 120ft waterfall like Scale Force is that it is actually three waterfalls and to climb up the incredibly slippery and near-vertical rock walls in order to reach the top one is dangerous and no mean feat.
The spray from the main waterfall as it drifts towards you and your camera means that it's a constant battle to keep the lens and filters dry. But if you preserve, this image is what you are likely to end up with.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did taking it.

Trent Barton 9310, has recently been converted for use as a driver tuition vehicle. Previously, the vehicle had been numbered 665 in the fleet and worked the Skylink services to East Midlands Airport. Finally ousted by an intake of new vehicles, the bus enjoys a more leisurely life these days.
While on late afternoon driver training duties, the bus is captured climbing Willey Lane towards Selston, Notts. Here the road makes a steady climb away from Moorgreen Reservoir and on towards Underwood in North East, Nottinghamshire.

Namaste wings to fly charitable society, Vellanad, Kerala, India, 2015. Visitando questo doposcuola io e Claudine siamo riusciti a far piangere questi due bambini solo grazie alla nostra presenza. Quando dopo un po' hanno visto che non eravamo cattivi hanno voluto posare per una foto.
Namaste Wings to Fly Charitable Society, Kerala, India, 2015. Quando mi chiedono di verificare la situazione di un progetto, di una famiglia, di un asilo o come in questo caso di un doposcuola, di fare un report come si dice in gergo, anche se so che la strada sarà lunga, piena di buche e con le curve che io vomito, che poi bisogna camminare un bel po' a piedi, con i sandali e le formiche rosse che ti mangiano i piedi, che fa caldo e l'umidità è al 100%, anche se so tutto questo, io sono semplicemente felice.
