This is one of my favourite photographs from 2010. Taken from the top of the Roaches in the Peak District National Park it shows crepuscular light rays coming from the clouds. The photograph was taken with an Olympus E-30.

This is another in a collection of images taken on the Roaches in The Peak District National Park. Taken from the pathway that climbs over the top of the rocks it is a view through some fallen trees to the Staffordshire countryside below. The wind tends to curl and buffet around the rocks here and … Continue reading MMX: Rocks and Trees →

Taken at The Roaches in Staffordshire, part of the Peak District National Park. This image is of Hen Cloud. There are two thoughts as to why it is called this. Some say the shape of the grit stone outcrop from a certain angle looks like a roosting hen, the other (and more likely) is that … Continue reading MMX: Cloud over Hen Cloud →

Taken with an Olympus E-620 at Coughton Court in Warwickshire. The two little children were out walking with their grandfather, when they turned to each other and started to have an earnest conversation. It looked so good I had to take a picture. There was a little bit of post processing to do afterwards, as … Continue reading MMX: Talking Up →

These oversized benches are at Coughton Court in Warwickshire. My daughter sat down on them and as I turned around to take her picture she took me at the same time with her EP-1. I like the spontaneity of the moment and the way the bench makes a nice backdrop. Taken with an Olympus E-620.

I really like these kind of still life photographs from other photographers, so whenever I can I try to shoot them. The urn stood in an alcove cut into a high hedge at Coughton Court, and it's weathered appearance due to a patina of age and dirt stood out against the dark of the hedge. … Continue reading MMX: Urn →

Taken at Kenilworth castle, this image tries to capture the British love of picnics. It's not something I've ever had a keen enthusiasm for, but this couple have waded through the long grass laden down with table, chairs and food to enjoy the June afternoon by the side of the stream. They were admired by … Continue reading MMX: Picnic →

The colour images have been rendered very well indeed and the monochrome ones both tinted and un-tinted are true to the originals.The full cover image on the front looks very nice and as usual the whole book has … Continue reading MMX Photobook has arrived →

This image was taken in Broadway in the Cotswolds. The elderly lady had sat down on a bench next to a bus stop obviously waiting for her lift home. As I watched her, she seemed to be miles away, neither recognizing or conversing with her fellow 'bench-sitters' or taking an interest in the scene around … Continue reading MMX: daydream →

I have sent off to Cewe all my images for the MMX book, and it has now been despatched . I'm really looking forward to see what kind of a job they've done on my photographs. Black and white is always difficult to reproduce and a lot of mine are tinted also but Cewe have … Continue reading MMX book now being printed. →
