This was taken in the Lake District after one of the driest springs on record. The rocks you see in the image should be at least 45 centimetres under the surface of the river at the time this was taken in the middle of May. The sky was quite overcast and so I placed a … Continue reading MMX: Flow →

The picture was taken at Chesterton Windmill on a bright but blustery day in May. The viewpoint is from one of the paths that are cut through the field to enable people to reach the windmill without walking through the crops. The cloud formations that day were excellent, huge and billowing, moving quickly across the … Continue reading MMX Windmill and poppies →

Taken with an Olympus E-620 at Castlerigg stone circle in Cumbria. This location is always a favourite with tourists and photographers, so it pays to get there nice and early in the morning or late in the evening. We got there early in the morning and managed to grab a few shots before the hordes … Continue reading MMX: Stone Circle →

This image was taken in Cumbria at Blea Tarn in May on a landscape photography holiday. The clouds were beginning to gather and there was rain in the air.

These small yellow flowers were forcing themselves through the stones and gravel of the lake edge and the cream coloured rocks and sparse grass gave a nice backdrop for them. I slightly softened the image and put a vignette around … Continue reading MMX: Rocks and Flowers →

This was an early attempt at a combined colour and monochrome image. The can was found on the side of Bassenthwaite lake in Cumbria. The idea of the bright green of the beer can against the texture of the pebbles appealed to me. Taken with an Olympus E-620.

This is another image that was taken on the Long Mynd. We were just finishing the walk and the sky was starting to darken over and rain looked as though it was on the way. Descending off the Mynd I had the feeling we were being watched and looking up on the hillside, I saw … Continue reading MMX: Curiosity →

This was taken at the start of a walk on the Long Mynd in Shropshire. As Janette and I started the walk along Carding Mill Valley, I looked up and saw the hill to our left surmounted by wisps of cloud or mist. Near the top was a group of sheep that were grazing on … Continue reading MMX: Sheep and Mist →

Continuing my series of blogging some of the images I am considering for my 2010 yearbook MMX.On a visit to Attingham house I was really taken with its clean lines and form. The light just happened to be right in providing contrast and form to the building and so I used the E-620 and 14-42 … Continue reading MMX: Attingham →
