Skegness beach in January is cold and inhospitable, but a fantastic place to take powerful images. This one was taken with an Olympus E-620 in the late morning. All around the beach was evidence that winter storms had battered that part of the coastline during the winter. This set of groynes had been demolished by … Continue reading MMX: Battered Defences →

Lincoln cathedral taken on a cold but very sunny winter's day with an Olympus E-410. The low sunlight accentuates all the grandness of the 271 feet high central tower. I deliberately kept the contrast high on this image in order to pick out all the detail on the building. A lot of this detail was … Continue reading MMX: Winter Tower →

Taken with an Olympus E-410 at 400 ISO in Lincoln cathedral. This was in one of the side chapels of the cathedral. It was very quiet and very peaceful with just that one ray of light from a high window breaking the gloom. The shadows were deepest in the corner by the pillar, but they … Continue reading MMX: Light and Shadow →

This image was again taken at Lincoln cathedral and again it was taken with the Olympus E-410. Walking around the cloisters I lost sight of my wife. I turned to take a photo of the opposite cloister and there was this person looking at me out of the darkness. It made me jump and it … Continue reading MMX: Watching →

Taken with an Olympus E-410 in the cloisters of Lincoln Cathedral. As might be expected there were a lot people around the cathedral, and it was difficult getting shots that didn't include brightly arrayed tourists. However, as I walked through the cloisters I turned to my right and saw this gentleman just standing there evidently … Continue reading MMX: Waiting →

Taken in Lincoln Cathedral with an Olympus E-410 at ISO 400. As I walked through the cathedral I was struck by the way the light fell on the altar which due to its stone gave it a different hue to the rest of the stonework. I love the way the carpet leads you up to … Continue reading MMX: Flowers and Altar →

Taken with an Olympus E-410. I was struck whilst sitting in a small café in Lincoln with the olde-world charm of it and the view outside. The two menus on the tables anchor the shot and the sides and top are framed by the curtains. The eye then drifts out of the window to the … Continue reading MMX: Three Menus →

This image was taken with an Olympus E-620 on a freezing cold Skegness beach in January. The composition immediately fell together because of the horizontal lines separating the snow, sand and sea sitting virtually on the thirds of the picture. I took several images without the two people in the picture but as they walked … Continue reading MMX: Snow, Beach and Sea →

This image was taken at Castle Howard with an Olympus E-620.My wife Janette had just sat down on the bench with the pyramid behind her and as I turned around to join her, I saw the light coming through the clouds and the three birds illuminated by it. Janette was looking at something on the … Continue reading MMX: Pyramid and Birds →

This image is the front cover of the forthcoming photographic book I am working on . It is a collection of the best photographs I took during 2010 - hence the title MMX (roman numerals for 2010). The book contains both colour and black and white images, and is meant to be representative of the … Continue reading MMX Book Cover →
