Crazy River
These four photographs belong to a series we made about the scenery along the Rio Tinto in Spain. more
Celebration of Spring on the River Dart
This series of four images were taken on a stretch of the River Dart in Spring 2021. more
Ripples in Time, Harlech Beach
A gift from the sea is how I feel about sand ripples. Each tide leaves, in infinite varieties, a signature of wave energy. more
Imagination
I am now retired from a working life in nature conservation as a reserve warden in various locations across Great Britain. I always used a camera as part of my work, specialising in the photography of wildflowers, habitat management and the landscape of nature reserves. more
Chris Byrne – Portrait of a Photographer
In Chris’ own words in a well-produced video on his website, the root of risk, when we boil it down, is answered by a simple question: “What are you willing to risk to get what you want?” more
My Home Landscape
One of those locations I came up with is a beautiful bay called Frazer beach, situated in Munmorah State Recreation Park. It's a bit more of a drive, 35-45 minutes in the car, but enough remoteness to put off many a landscape shooter who doesn't like to walk far. more
Scenes from the Lounge
Most of the photographs have been made from inside the lounge looking out, or just outside the lounge from one of the two balconies looking over the view of the tourist town of Queenstown, the magnificent Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkable Mountain range beyond. more
Landscape Poetography
I’ve wondered about poets. It seems they were a little more prominent in days gone by, before mass media, commercialism and screens took over all our minds. more
Book Reviews
The luxury of having more time to prepare an interview with a photographer is that I can spend a bit of time trying to find any publications they’ve produced in order to get more background information. In Claude Fiddler’s case, I found two of his previous publications and managed to get them delivered quite quickly. more
Flash and Medieval Art
Connecting blue and red on a single frame can be interpreted as the warmth of the fire and the cold of the night. This motif has pursued people since prehistory. In general the night is full of similar contrasts. more
A Morning in a Magical Forest
one particular morning in winter 2020 is by far the best of all and the most memorable. I don’t think I’ve seen such incredible conditions anywhere in the past decade or so. more
Book Reviews
I have to admit to being a big fan of Dan Baumbach’s work. His eye for a complex but elegant detail and commitment to working in small geographic areas have really paid dividends over the years more
End frame: Weed Against Sky, 1948 by Harry Callahan
However, it was at the Guild where he experienced his photographic epiphany. He attended a lecture and workshop given by Ansel Adams. Adams’ work exhilarated him... more
Travels with a Seneca 8×10 Camera
I have a clear image of the photo that I would like to take, in which there is a well-defined foreground and in the background, there is a remarkable scenery of the beautiful and massive mountains still covered by snow. more
End frame: Puglia 1978 by Franco Fontana
I think we can learn from him that great photographs don’t have to be of spectacular, iconic places. There are interesting images to be made all around us; we just have to look harder, and pursue what resonates with our own personality, curiosity, and imagination to find our own voice. more
