An interesting evening yesterday was spent in Beeston , Nottinghamshire – the original plan was to take a look at some new lights installed to St John’s the Baptist Church just off to the city centre .However I got rather more then I’d bargained for with some fireworks thrown in for good measure – as the town was having it’s annual Christmas lights switch-on! […]

Some takes of a Chinese bell tower I came across while foraging the Arboretum park in Nottingham for late autumnal scenes last week.  Got treated to a very moody sunset with some strong and vivid orange , and pink colours feeding through to the many fallen leaves lying around (foreshadowing). The sunset was just about on its way out when I first came round […]

A look at some bracken ferns under autumnal sunlight at Wollaton Park , Nottingham , 16th October 2016. You can visit a place many times , and yet find a new way of seeing that place each time you go along – and this set is borne out of that. On the day and at the time the sunlight was perfectly placed to backlight […]

My first set of copies for this coming year’s Nottingham Calendar have now arrived! For this year’s edition I thought it fitting to continue the twilight theme highlighting some of my urban landscape work within the city of Nottingham. In it there is a mix of familiar landmarks such as Cobden Chambers and Green’s Mill , but I’ve also updated this to include cityscapes […]

A cathartic look at this year’s edition of Goose Fair – this time around I only got to have a look at the Saturday evening action , with the fair proving to be as popular as ever – with plenty of busy crowds Having been very busy with other commitments I’d found myself unable to spend quite as much time as I’d have liked […]

For this month I thought a cityscape would be quite apt and fitting for the fact that the nights drawing in and autumn taking hold , and additionally , the upcoming release of my 2017 Nottingham Calendar. Details will follow by the end of the month but I’ve just taken delivery of my first set  but I’ll tease the above photograph which will feature […]

A look at the Northern Quarter , Manchester through some of the many energetic street murals I came across – a very visual and visceral demonstration of the creative industries which can be found within the area and the diverse mix of people within the city too. This is very much my interpretation of the energetic street life which the region offers – one […]

I thought I’d share with you an extended version of an interview I gave to Leftlion appearing in their “Welcome to Nottingham” student guide for new students starting their university courses this week. Some things I mention are about my approach to photography , what motivates me – and the importance of making the most of your time at university to really discover what […]

A playful take from a couple of weeks ago of the Park-facing entrance of the Park Tunnel , Nottingham. Who says photographs have to be tack sharp? 😉 Sharpness , and the lack of it can be a relative thing.  I was able to toy with creating “multiple exposures” – by holding the camera still for a small part of the exposure , then […]

With technical issues now resolved with my host , am now able to share with you a double header of Photo of the Month this time round having missed out posting in August with me taking a bit of a quiet period on the website. Kings Cross St Pancras Underground , London by Allies & Morrison – June 2016. Some repeated riding of escalators […]
